I Know a Couple of Men Have Been Misbehaving but Branding Kenyan Men as Lesser Beings to Gorillas Is Outright Wrong Chweya, No! #MyDressMyChoice
This is outright and cannot be accepted according the laws of Kenya. Demeaning Kenyan men being lesser beings than Gorillas is repugnant to justice and morality. We agree that they have being behaving out of the norms of being humans but this doesn't rescind them from being human.
It was an article by one Edward Chweya condemning Kenyan men to the dungeons of ineptness comparing them to Gorillas; actually referring to them as lesser beings. While Kenyan Men Strip And Harass Ladies, This Is What A Gorilla Did To A Lady In Gabon
Like one James George Frazer once said, “The
propensity to excessive simplification is indeed natural to the mind of
man, since it is only by abstraction and generalisation, which
necessarily imply the neglect of a multitude of particulars, that he can
stretch his puny faculties so as to embrace a minute portion of the
illimitable vastness of the universe. But if the propensity is natural
and even inevitable, it is nevertheless fraught with peril, since it is
apt to narrow and falsify our conception of any subject under
investigation.”
And he was a smart one this one as he went ahead to offer a solution to this unfortunate scenario.
He suggested that “we endeavour to broaden our views by taking account
of a wide range of facts and possibilities; and when we have done so to
the utmost of our power, we must still remember that from the very
nature of things our ideas fall immeasurably short of the reality.” And
what exactly is the reality? Is it what you brought out in your article?
I honestly think not.
You went ahead to give a couple more of
examples of how primeval we were. What specifically caught my eye was
how you seemed disgusted by the habit of men urinating and carrying out
natural habits in public. The word here is NATURAL and I disagree that
there is really much you can do about something that comes naturally. As
a matter of fact, this portrays Kenyan men as open, open to many things
I suppose. And can you really compare urinating in public to sexual
molestation?
And what has this got to do with love as
you blatantly claimed that Kenyan men don’t love their women? Weren’t
we the same people who stood beside them in times of despair and fully
supported them when a few barbarians went on a stripping rampage? I’m
very disappointed with your utterations considering some of your
colleagues threw their dignities to the dogs and donned dresses just to
show their solidarity.
And I agree that some men batter their
wives which is disgusting and appalling but exactly how many? Just a few
rotten apples and you’re already drawing conclusions? What about those
men that are constantly battered emotionally and even physically but
still hold their head up high just to maintain sanity in the family and
uphold the valuable tenets that define manhood? Why didn’t you think
about them before penning your article?
Why aren’t you thinking about the men
who work tirelessly to ensure their households have a meal every single
day and a trip to the coast at least every December? What happened to
shunning down negativity and always thinking positive?
You mentioned how a female friend of
yours banished Kenyan men and swore to instead date a Gorilla (what’s up
with you, your friends and Gorillas by the way) and how this insult
sent chills down your spine. Why did you just sit there and listen?
Wouldn’t have made sense if you took the time to enlighten her that
there are actually decent men still left; your male colleagues perhaps
who are languishing in the helms of loneliness and only seeking solitude
from their left hands?
In simple what I’m saying is compare us to anything, anything but not Gorillas in Gabon.
This is very intriguing and from the aspect of #mydressmychoice men also came up with #mytrousermychoice when they started exchanging heating words from the other gender based end.
