“There's a huge misconception that it's all about the oil, and the truth is there's actually not much oil left in Abyei. The misperception arose because when the peace agreement was signed in 2005, Abyei accounted for a quarter of Sudan's oil production. Since then, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague defined major oil fields to lie outside Abyei. They're in the north now, not even up for grabs, and they account for one percent of the oil in Sudan.

“A huge amount of what feminists are fighting for would have major positive impact for men as well as women. Take the male suicide rate, for example. In part, the problem arises from the idea that men are tough and manly, that 'boys don't cry' and it's embarrassing for them to talk about their feelings. So men are less likely to reach out for help and support with mental health issues. But that gender stereotype, which exists alongside the converse notion that women are over-emotional, 'hysterical', or 'hormonal', is one feminists are fighting hard to debunk.” MenWellsIdeasHardHelpingFeelingsProblemFightingBoysSupportIssuesCryExampleEmotionalHugeAmountMajorsToughSuicideImpactMental HealthMalesNotionRateFeministGenderAriseReach OutStereotypeEmbarrassingManlyConversesHystericalPositive ImpactGender StereotypesHealth IssuesHelp And SupportFighting HardBoys Don't Cry Author:Laura Bates
