Gender agenda: Women are own worst enemy

There is need to examine why women are treated so shabbily in Kenya and to redress this. [File, Standard]

Biblical accounts of the origin of mankind tell of the creation of man preceding that of woman. This is not a Judeo-Christian tale of chauvinism. Nor is it a depiction of women as being inferior. If anything, in Genesis 2:18, God refers to woman as man’s “help meet” or “a helper comparable to him”.

Woman is therefore man’s companion suitable for him in every way. In this context, the term “weaker sex” does not portray inferiority in woman but rather, describes the physiological differentiation that allows each gender to perform complementary roles.
