One thing that everybody attests about kikuyu women is how they are aggressive in all aspects of life. Whether it’s in the family circle or in politics, kikuyu women already got the memo that they need nothing but the cream of what life has to offer. Sadly, the same cannot be said about luhya women.
For instance, let’s look at a simple issue like marriage. Kikuyu women have zero tolerance towards polygamy. Their men can’t face them and talk crap like “huyu ni mwenzako”. Even the powerful men with all the money and power have nothing to do but hide their mistresses. Then the Luhya women will be reasoning in a very defeatists way that it’s better for a man to marry than have a string of women. They will even encourage their men to bring home the said woman. Most of the time, they will seek solace in being accepted by their in-laws and being the first wife. It doesn’t bother them that their husbands make guest appearances at their homes. They will be like “atarudi tu”. Ooh! Poor Luhya women, who cursed you?
