The UGLY side of an average CITY Girl
Women need to be empowered alright, but we can’t give power to people who enjoy being powerless. We can’t liberate people who enjoy being behind prison walls. We can’t resurrect people who enjoy being dead.
How do you empower the average campus girl whose greatest achievement after four years of campus is cohabiting in some dingy hostel cooking, cleaning and doing laundry for an equally average campus boy who spends all his time smoking some cheap weed, drinking the cheapest ‘mzingas‘ campus has to offer and filling his transcript with D’s and Supps?
How do we empower the brainless campus girl who in her quest for S3xually Transmitted Grades spends all her lecture hours giggling and smiling seductively at male lecturers who spent all their lecture hours focusing and concentrating and eventually graduated top of their classes?
How do you empower the so-called uptown girl who spends 12 hours a day chilling at a movie shop because the movie guy apparently owns the hottest Chronixx sweat shirts in the hood and will at the end of day give her some cheap burned movies when other uptown girls are busy running their own movie shops and other income generating businesses?
How do you empower the average Nairobian girl who spends her few pennies buying some cheap skin lightening products and dedicates all her miserable time to enlarging her ass and making appearances at every lowlife party she hears about in the quest for the pathetic and much exaggerated socialite lifestyle?
How do you empower the average mediocre 20-something year old girl who spends all her time uploading nude and semi-nude photos full of useless hash tags on Instagram in the quest for likes when other girls her age are busy uploading their CV’s on the websites of serious International Organizations?
How do you empower the average city girl whose main goal of ‘Turning Up’ is to dish out as many smiles, kisses, grinds and screws as can earn her a free Jameson? Honestly sister if you lack the means, the methods and the mulla, humbly take your Guarana, go home and start having goals big enough to make you afford your own Jameson, Jack Daniels, Sir Edwards, Glenfiddich or whatever.
How do you empower the average young lady whose biggest dream in life is dating any car-owning guy who can afford to buy her a cheap, big for nothing, Tecno Phone or take her out on a relatively cheap vacation in Mombasa?
How do you empower the average city woman who abandons her dreams and quits her job to ride on her husband’s glory then later defames her good husband and the beautiful institution of marriage when her petty joyriding mission backfires?
How do you empower the average aspiring female politician whose campaign slogan and manifesto is solely and entirely based on the lifeless phrase ‘Adui ya mwanamke ni mwanamke? ‘(A woman is her own enemy). I mean, why should I vote against a candidate with the right education for governance, a commendable track record and a practical manifesto in favor of an inconsequential candidate solely on the basis that she possesses a vag!na and a pair of b()()bs?
All said and done, my point is: Girl power is good, women empowerment is good BUT we can only empower those who deserve to be empowered. We cannot be forced to empower women who have reduced themselves to Social, Academic, Political and Professional C()nd()ms in the quest for money, good grades, top posts and top jobs. PERIOD!
Like I always say, the value of what is between the ears will ALWAYS override the value of what is between the legs. Women, the choice is yours.
Yours Truly,
THE GGW
