I know some of you have been seeing the "patriachy" jokes on your TL. You're wondering, what's happening?

It was bound to happen at some point.

The funny thing is, I know some of these guys personally and if you're female, you have zilch to worry about relating with them...

Most of the so called misogynists are in committed long term relationships with women they adore and who love them. I don't believe we can say the same about the women who openly hate men on this platform.

It is almost like the guys get louder about it immediately they marry.

Because at some point you realise, you have nothing to prove to these people. You have real actual women in your life, you deal with women daily and not one of them will think of you as a woman hater. Then you get married and the opinions of random angry birds become even less

relevant.

Some of us have put children boys and girls through primary school on our meagre earnings. We do not demand a standing ovation for it.

We believe its the right thing to do.

When the accusatory clime first started, a lot of us conceded space to these

angry birds. We became more silent.

It was a time of deep reflection. You had to ask yourself, am I guilty of these things, do I have a bias against women, am I complicit in the culture that treats women as lesser humans? Those are tough questions to ask oneself.

Ofcourse personally, I have never felt like I had anything to answer for which perhaps is why I am one of the louder ones. But you still ask the questions regardless. And you tell yourself, at worst; your silence means the evil ones amongst you get weeded out which is a good

thing.

But then you notice, it was never about equality, or equity or any of the other buzzwords they like to hide under. It is about power and the evils ones aren't being weeded out. What is being perpetuated is a climate of male collateral damage.

A climate whereby you do not have the right to defend yourself, a climate where anyone who has something against you can label you and the rest pile on to make your life as miserable as humanly possible.

These people are not here for the upliftment of the "girl child"

They are here to demonise and shame men.

Their advocacy for the girl child ends with free pads. What they want is power, and that means a competition to see who can pile the most male body bags; literally and figuratively.

Anyone who stands for good knows there has to be a line. Men, myself included have called out other men who are found wanting.

But someone dies because of false accusation and these people could not find it within themselves to speak up for the innocent soul we lost.

Their ideology is based on the fact that although you may not have committed any crimes against a woman. Somebody who owns a penis has and you deserve to be punished for another person's sins even if you share no relationship with such.

At some point, people realized silence was not feasible. It was a bad plan.

If you want the power, then you have to compete for it.

You don't win a race by shaming your opponents into not running.

If it is power you want, "comman take eet." Compete!

So we have turned your most lethal weapon; shaming, into a joke.

Your move....
