THE BOY CHILD

Been wondering for sometime now and i know most of you have also wondered with me.The boy child,and especially the boy child from central.I am from central,let not my skin color convince you otherwise,so as i write this,i do not want to be labeled tribal.The boy child from central is wanting.

Have you sat down and asked yourself why we have so many single mothers and single women today?Have you? And as you asked yourself this,have you also concluded just like the rest of the people that it is because of the ratio of men to women?have you? Have you settled for that stupid scientific data by our so called 'audit firms'? If you have,i judge you not because i for one,believed that too.I sternly believed that we,women are more than men and that's why we have so many single women than men.

But the again,i began to wonder,especially with the current happenings.Remember the shameless duo in the Githurai bus that watched and recorded the heinous/detestable act of a lady being sexually molested?Yea,its still very clear in my mind even after deleting it from my gallery.That video made me shed a tear,a painful 'woman' tear! I just saw myself in it,i imagined being mishandled in that state,, and it was so painful.Any woman would agree with me.

Then to the relief o the state,the driver and his tout were arrested and arraigned in court,and that's when my worries were confirmed.Their second names betrayed them,they were from central,yea,see where i'm coming from now? Let me take you back to the Embassava stage where the very first lady was stripped for dressing 'her choice'. I was not there but i'm forced to believe that the participants were if not all from central too,i stand corrected, but have you also not noted that most of our touts are from central?I have nothing against touts,i respect everyone's profession like it were my own.

Earlier on,there was a piece trending online about the Kayole gang that had been cracked down by the police. The gang leader was from Central again!!Avery young man of about 21 years with so much energy but generated to the wrong side.So just but a few instances.

I'm forced to wonder,did we empower the girl child so much and forgot about the boy child?Did we talk the girl child into professionalism and academic heroism and forgot the boy child? Did we somehow forget that the empowered girl child will need a boy to marry one day? Or did we probably think the boy child is man enough to empower himself and forgot he is also as human as the girl child?That he needs someone to push him to life?To studying? To professionalism?To academic Heroism?

Could this be the reason why the boy child is shamelessly stripping the modern empowered woman and even sexually harassing her in public?Could this be why the boy child is ending up in thug life in the name of empowering himself? Could this be why our women are so single even in their late 40s because they have lacked a man enough to marry them/a man who is self empowered and doing so well?Better than them?Could this be why Njoki Chege is so bitter with the way our men are living their lives?

I stand to be corrected,i was just passing my opinion.And my opinion is that,women are not more than men,no!!Women are more empowered than men hence the said difference.Someone needs to empower our boys!
