FEMALE FATALITY


It requires less character to discover the fault in others than to tolerate them. Of the recent there has been so much razzmatazz about the swagarrific concert and other concerts where ladies translate feelings practically to removing their inner clothing and throwing them to the performers. Whether it is a sign of mad love or an, insult, that is left to the throwers.  Most of the people feel that such shows are an open insult to the cultural heritage and values of the African society. However it is interesting to note that in a country with a culture and heritage portfolio, nothing has been heard from the Minister in charge on such events.
Freedom of expression-is enshrined in the Kenyan constitution and that is why I find it interesting on the amount of rage that such concerts have generated over the recent past. There are very many ways in which a person can express his/her frenzieness especially in an environment dotted with alcoholic episodes. What should be of great concern is who is allowed to express him/herself in a manner that was seen in such concerts-is it the teenagers, the single ladies, married ladies, divorced or the widowed ones?  If a married lady decides to throw away her panties on stage would such an act receive the same reactions as to when a single lady does it? In view of such acts being done in public events, how will the society view the active participants?
Gender Equality-The United Nations has been pursuing women’s rights on a global scale since the Universal Declaration on Human Rights over fifty years ago. There are also many non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) such as Amnesty International and the Human Rights Watch that investigate human rights violations including those against females, and try to encourage change on a national and global level.  The woman in the society is a symbol of hope, dignity, purity and continuity and that is why before marriage there had to be proof of chastity and purity.  With such events which compromises on the women’s character and reputation it is interesting to see whether the human rights being pursued by the UN will be of great significance on outcome. However the strength/power of a woman is only felt by the ladies who know that so much depends on reputation and according to the 5th law of power by Robert Greene, one has to guard it with all her life.
Cultural fog-nothing encapsulates a person with zero identity much more than that who is ever aping others.  Even though a good number of people would be hawking their opinions that it is very normal for a lady to drink, get high and do the unnecessary after, it would also be wise to note that any normal man would not want such a character as a mother of his future children. Those who so wish to be in cooperated in the marriage institution have to uphold significant t amounts of self worth and dignity. However there is that category of ladies who feel that they are independent as they have their own careers and pay bills and not necessarily need a man yet they go out throwing their panties to these very men. They do not understand that being independent does not necessarily translate to being complete.
Liberation has to be exercised with responsibility for it makes sense and positive impact to the person. Liberation comes in the form of respect, recognition better education equal career opportunities and treatment in all life aspects. It is said that what a man can do a woman does best-but most importantly, to what direction.
