Kenyan women seeking dominance, not equality

This is definitely a topic many would not dare speak about but should be said out loud and rightly so. The fight for equality in Kenya started as a very earnest mission, seeking to ensure the woman kind is held and treated at the same level their male counterparts are. With time however, this fight has lost meaning and taken a wrong turn, now seeking to give the women undeserved opportunities and rights for free.

The concept of affirmative action must be differentiated from undeserved acquisition of wealth and allocation of rights. For starters, if ever equality is to be realized, we ought to regard all sexes as humans. Centuries back, the females were regarded inferior to the males. It is for this reason that affirmative action was started; in order to help push for equality. Affirmative action has however now been misunderstood. Women, particularly the Kenyan version, have long taken males for an unwanted ride. It is obvious they seek to be superior to the men rather than be equals to them. This is indicated through various aspects among them education, employment and leadership. In the long run however, it only ends up advocating for the same inequality

It’s baffling that at this age and time we can reserve seats in parliament for women in the pretext of seeking political equality. In truth, rather than fight inequality, this only backs the argument that women are inferior to the men. It shows that the women are political cowards who cannot face the electorate to attract votes. That is enough proof. The women should actually reject these free seats. They ought to be ashamed that they receive free seats just as the deservedly disabled persons do, yet they have all abilities to fight it out with the male counterparts. No law locks them out of any aspect of politics or any leadership positions. The Women Representative seats should be scrapped off.
