Women will always be emotional, how they show it is the distinguishing factor

With knives being given tasks they did not sign up for in Nyeri County, it is pretty clear that order needs to be restored before women go crazy. Despite the hyperbole hullabaloo regarding the painful ordeals, Kenyans should sympathize with these men.

In recent past, women have lost it completely and this is not only in Kenya but also across the globe. This just made me realise that women are cut from the same cloth in spite of race or colour. We are one.

A while back, a woman in California was given life imprisonment after performing the most cynical act. She skilfully laced her husband’s meal with sleeping pills and cut off his ‘transformer’ when he was in deep sleep. She later called “911” to save her husband’s life.

This woman’s determination to fall through with the plan is sickening. Most of the Kenyan culprits barely get one year in prison but I could guess why the different judgements. In the case of the American, the incident was premeditated and well thought out to the end.

The Kenyan ‘slicers’ act on impulse; when anger strikes and the weapon of defence presents itself, the man is doomed.

What would push a sane human being to raise a knife, make the first cut, a second deeper cut and a third one to finish off the identity of a man? Well, it is the emotions.

It is common knowledge that a woman can only take in so much before throwing in the towel. Even the nicest sweet woman has a breaking point. How she acts on this breaking point is what will categorically place her either among the ‘slicers’ (the violent type) or the shelled ones who will shrink in their cocoon and harbour anger and resentment or the blubbery ones who will verbally murder the ego of a man.

Men should know their women. If you are aware of how your woman responds to situations, then you will not be caught off guard when she points a knife at you as a warning of what might happen next.
