Issue 09: - All Of Us

-


We have said too many goodbyes and grieved too long. The world has endured enough traumas and tragedy. At a loss of humans through Gender Based Violence (GBV) everyday is more than we should be asked to bear, but we are not alone. 

Too little of our men are raised unignored and given attention like the girl child. So little lessons and supervision are given to the boy child. Too little of our men experience love and care like the girl child. Too many of our men undergo depression and commit suicide. Too many of our men are afraid to show emotions and speak up because they are men. ALL of our men are expected to be strong even at their weakest points and we are doing too little to make a change. 

We must ask ourselves not only how we can make change, but what we have done to shape the world this way. How are we responsible? What burden are we placing on our men? What tools are we keeping from them? 

How did we get here?

Most men make the perfect scapegoats because they never see it coming and know not how to defend against such deceptions, their own logic deluding them with notions such as “rationality” and “fairness” and an expectation that these alone will save him from such vicious and slanderous libel

Issue 06: - Fathers Day

"We are a society that invested its focus and resources on empowering the girl child and we are slowly and progressively neglecting the boy child.  THEN, as time goes on, we start acting surprised when the boy child starts displaying barbaric behaviors. We need to stop with this hypocrisy, the boy child also deserves attention and guidance. A functional society starts with giving both the girl and boy equal attention." the next story has nothing to do with the statement above, that was just a simple reminder to you all. So here it goes;  I was sitting with my male friends on Father’s day, 21 June 2020 that is. There were approximately 9 of us, 8 males and me. 4(four) of those males happen to be fathers and play a role in their children’s lives and are very supporting, thoughtful, loving and caring for their “baby mamas”, yet none of them received as little as a text saying “happy father’s day“ from those women. I know.. You're probably thinking 'what does that have to
