In Defence of the Woman

#SilentNoises ~knm

‘Servant of God’, ‘Man of God’ the archbishop, bishop, papa, whatever. Titles. God gave each and everyone of us brains. He made none stupid. When we as a people, sit and allow a person and or persons to massage our God given intelligence to assuage their swollen egos then, I beg ……..
Naturally, I should be proud and live by this statement made by this bigoted being since it favors the men. Apuuuuu! I promised myself, my wife would smile at all times. I would cook and clean and be a partner, not a boss. We sat in the same lecture rooms and received degrees on the same day. I saw her being cut three, yes three times to deliver our kids. My mother and aunties toiled tirelessly. I choose to defend womanhood. I will do it till my last breathe. In a novel by Aminata Sow Fall, women are seen as their own enemies. This is a Senegalese, African novel.
I don’t care when this speech was made by this man. It should not have been made. At all. It smacks of male chauvinism. The bible is being twisted just as the law is interpreted according to the judge.
Continue your defence of mediocrity; we, K Amigosten Amoah and others will continue to strive to remove the hooded blanket over your eyes.
Let the wise read and take note accordingly.
I remain, also a servant of God. He hath sent me.

  1. Hahaha hahaha, indeed you remain a servant of God. Nice piece but pls touch lb the sensitive issue of same sex marriage. Tell the world what Rev JOY MANTE thought us on philosophy. One phrase is what if all were wrong and only few were right like the case of Noah.

    Our women deserve all the praises

    *[[Eph 5:25-33/KJV]]* %v 25% Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; %v 26% That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, %v 27% That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. %v 28% So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. %v 29% For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: %v 30% For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. %v 31% For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. %v 32% This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. %v 33% Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

    A little advice from Paul to the church.

    Thanks
