MALE RETARDS

STARK NAKED!! oh yes, stark naked she stood at the bus station, totally bemused and confused by what had just happened. Sadly, unlike men, women have 'more' private parts to cover from the eye of the public, thus with two hands available, it does prove to be  a tasking ordeal. This was a scene at Nairobi's Bus station, on the 29th of September, 9.30am. My colleague had passed by the matatu and bus terminus, and witnessed the sight of a lady, a foreigner, being strangled with fear, shock and shame, all in the name of being scantily dressed. Fast Forward-October 2nd, one of our local broadcasters, KTN Kenya, highlighted the issue, attesting that 3 women, had fallen victim to the idle male youth. Strangely so, as I was watching the interview, I realized that the guy being interviewed, is someone I knew-SHAME ON HIM!!


REALITY: What amazes me, is that this 'moral' chaps, have no issue with young men who sag. Recalling my stand-up comedy research, sagging is an act that started in the American gaols. It was a move picked up by gay jail-mates, who wanted to draw attention from their male counterparts. Bearing this in mind, judging not people for their different preferences, I wonder why the scoundrels don't act on this. I believe, whether scanty or not, a lady who has chosen to dress so, is doing so, out of her own comfort. Many a times, I may wonder why a lady can opt to dress in a certain way, yet again, I never picked the dress, so, who am I to deny her freedom. Let it be known, that strangely, in a non-racial way, that if the sort of scanty outfit, was worn by an Asian or White lady, the chaps would hardly make a move. Yet they declare morality on all women, yet its our sisters who bare the shame.


The fact that I have two sisters, and  that I may not want them to dress scantily, in honor of their own dignity, I cannot tell them what to wear, or undress them, should they choose otherwise. Double standards should simply not be applied--trying to pretend to uphold tradition in one, and embracing #westernization in the other. Circumstances are availed to all by life, but choices are for the self. A woman who dresses scantily will make men OGLE, but many men shall luck the thirst, her to GOOGLE, because there will be no need to search for information, as it would have already been availed. hehe. That is my view. Fresh, don't you think!! Fact remains though, who are we to judge. I have previously said that, men are naturally, solving beings, and allured by mystery. Knowing so, then a lady who wants to draw attention, yet uphold her dignity, should learn how to make men's visual impair-ness work for her.


Blogger's Stand: I believe women have the right to dress how they want. Call me westernized or brainwashed, and all I will say to that is #bullshit. Why pretend to take a higher moral ground, yet we all have our flaws. Oh, and for crying out loud, the lady left the house so, because she was comfortable in the outfit. I know, I would not do well in a miniskirt and such, but since I have never worn, neither do I intend to, I cannot tell, whether the bearer of the outfit, feels most comfortable in it, or not. Its loads of crap, to pretend to uphold dignity in specific matters, and scorn it in another. 


NB: October is here with us, thus for those who have managed to see it come to birth, kindly thank the Heavens. Ladies and gentlemen, let us not forget, that this is the CANCER MONTH.....create awareness, and let your loved ones get tested. Prevention shall always reign supreme!!
