MY DRESS MY CHOICE

I wish I wasn't smiling on this pic! The mood on this post is far from smiles.

Hello readers, the cosmic positive flowing energy has been destabilized.

It saddens me to see grown men and women either part-take or stand by and watch as others strip a woman naked because of her personal choice of dressing. As usual, I like to make a comment after the dust has somewhat settled and everyone has come to his or her senses – or so I hope! What gets me most in these horrific ordeals going on in Kenya is that days after the public outcry of the humanitarian activists, women are still being stripped publicly and often sexually harassed. The damage caused to these women go far beyond the physical abuse and mental damage all because of a choice of outfit they made that morning!

Men, grow up! What does the length of my skirt do to you - you disgusting perverts! If my choice of dress is indecent to you then by all means look the other way. Who made you judge and jury of all living beings? You who dare to strip a woman naked in the street with such violence and vigor and yet want to go home and kiss your wives and daughters good night?! How does stripping a woman naked add value to your life? All those silly immature men who stripped the women naked have cursed themselves. I would much rather speak blessings and spread goodness to the world but the inhumane nature of this gross public violence against defenseless women have got me cursing my breath out. You Pharisees casting the first stone because you are without err or sin. And who says to dress in a short outfit put you on the wrong side. I mean how dare you! Disgusting beings.

I pray for the women who were tortured in these ordeals. I pray that Mother Mary will bring console to your spirits and that God will grant you such great peace that you will not remember the horrors you faced in the hands of idle men whose minds were corrupted by impure thoughts.

What happens next? What is Kenya going to do to stop these unruly behaviors in her society? We watched with disbelief, cursed and cried while others applauded and rejoiced in these inhumane actions against defenseless poor women. We kid ourselves and make a mockery out of our culture. Which African culture had their women covered up for centuries? How civilized do you suppose you are that you wish to teach us to cover up in the name of respect? Show me a respectful member of your family who would commit such heinous actions against a woman. If she were mad, would you not cover her up and not engage her in conversation. Would you rape a woman because she refused to listen to your advances? Pathetic imbeciles. I am not done with uncultured men who have no respect for women!

Disappointed!
