RE: MALE CHAUVINISM AND CHALLENGES OF CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN WOMAN, Vol.2
First you must understand there is a culture which produces actions and
reactions. When we attack the banking culture which reduces female employees to sexual objects to get business, many females attack us. When we point out religious leaders taking advantage of girls, most women in their congregation tell us we need to shut up and understand 'spiritual matters'. Then we go ahead to talk about high handed nature of hierarchies in Nigerian organisations, we are seen as anarchists. Most men take advantage of that to take advantage of women who for the fear of their jobs, don't fight back. So in accessing this discourse, you have to look at cultural constructs needed to combat the scourge.
Firstly thank you for your understanding.
What are the culture that produces action and reactions in your country or your tribe? Are they the laws and our forfathers footsteps?
For instance in Nigeria,
Is one of the culture that produces action and reaction here in Nigeria isb"law" not one of them?
How then do we have laws that can discriminate all this pestilence to women but we are till suffering from the issues all time? who and who are required or assign to this laws are we doing our best to even reduce it? If we are the people that can look into the demerit in our next generation i guess that shoild have be our reasons to adjust for the better of all. epecially the female ones.
In Section 360 of the 1999 Nigerian constitution says that anyone who unlawfully assaults a woman is guity of misdemeanor and bags two yers only. Sectiom 55 of the labour acts also ban woman from working in any work at night. What reason is our women still practicing stigma and Are they implementing all this laws or are they not our cultural constructs? I think is high time for our women to stand up in their feet against all this slave sex and others.
Even the presidency, can you take a look at this link( http://wwwpremiumtimesng.com/how-buhari-sparked-internet-debate-my-wife-belong-to-my-kitchen )what can we call this to women?
In other hand "stigma" is what i called a big desease to women who's religious leaders or others taking advantage of them (girls) for fear of their job. Such a lady never value her self and therefor keeps on regulating the pestilence to others.
