Boy Child
| by leticia | Thursday, June 3rd Tags: |  |
I stumbled across a blog that a man wrote stating that the boy child has been neglected? He says women have fought for their place in society and are steadly getting equal rights. He also goes on to say how men are busy worshipping this successful women. Apparently he states that the boy child for decades has been left to look after the cattle, till the land and fish while their fasthers are drinking their time away. Another man also says that in his rural home; the boys schools have been converted into mixed schools and eventually forcing the boys to drop out. He asks fathers " who do you think is charged with the responsibility of mentoring the boy child if you at home 15 minutes a week?" My reponse to this man would be that roles have changed and men just have to deal with it. Women cannot be expected to be doing the same tasks that they were doing 100 years ago. Are our roles supposed to change or rather revert to accomodate the mens?
Leticia, first in my opinion
Leticia,
first in my opinion i think this man already has infreriority complex in that he fears that educated women, women who have made it in life will force their men to worship them. that's not necessarily true. how does a mixed school force boys to drop out? what do these boys fear that makes them stop going to school? that should be what they need to find out not to conclude that they are dropping out of schoool because of girls, and if by any chance that is the reason then why do they fear girls? are the girls performing better than them, are they more outgoing?
in short, everything within our society has changed. the way me and you engage now is not the same way our mothers engaged. for sure more needs to be done but at least we have a safe space to air our views and delibrate on issues that affect women and girls. and as you rightfully put it, who is going to mentor the boy child if his dad is home for only 15 mins. that means even more work to the mothers as you are a wife, an employee, a mother and mentor to all your children. thank God that we can multi-task all this things.
