#WifeNotCook

More and more, feminism is becoming a popular theme; but some ones are taking it too far me thinks. You don’t preach feminism by constantly berating men. As a matter of fact, the reverse ought to be the case. Feminism has to be an education… of the men folk.

But if you insist the current world order is skewed, and you want to single-handedly reposition the planet, then, here is a ring, go ahead and propose. Then prepare to go and see his people… and let them determine what his groom price will be.

What can be more constructive is education… a gradual, gentle reorientation, not harassment and verbosity. For we do, all of us, need each other. So start by disabusing his mind from seeking to acquire a woman by paying dowry for her… Then proceed by extricating too much kith and kin influence from nuclear families.

Is woman today coy? The feminist has to be coyer, for certain hunting circumstances make the lioness lie down for the deer… She stoops to conquer. If someone can disagree with simple reasoning, how much more verbose, arrogant arguments?

The teacher comes to school with new knowledge, and painstakingly transfers it to his students. School is an approach to learning that has been found to be effective. There are other methods, and each is gradual, gentle, and methodical. From what we know, therefore, we can conclude that the #WifeNotCook campaign will not help this cause.

Every now and then there are conferences, workshops, seminars. The convener sometimes has new knowledge to share, at other times is aware of the existence of new knowledge and wants to acquire it. Then ensue the gentle, structured, methodical approach of seminars et al.
