The moment you venture into the male dominated world, "You are termed a bitch"

What's the deal in being termed a "Bitch". But really, what woman cares being called a bitch when she's Hillary Clinton. I better be a bitch and Hillary than be a woman who chooses to wield being liked that is no longer integral to a woman's makeup. Whats wrong in refusing to give up a thriving law profession after your husband becomes governor. It's bitchy to do that!! a few chauvinistic men would say..." how can a woman have the gut to secure a career when her husband has being put in a place of influence. It  becomes worse when she infuriates house wives across the nation with a dismissive reference to baking cookies.

Finally, our race has finally rendered gender and sexism a major factor in leadership..for more than 20 years in American politics Mrs. Clinton has embodied what we might call Classic bitch. She's perceived an interloper who challenges or threatens masculinity entitlements and a status-quo worldview-Newyork times. Why wouldn't she be termed Bitch when she aggrevates their longstanding discomfort with a woman whose power isn't situated within the private spheres of marriage and family.

If you feel uncomfortable about Clintons immense decision then you are guilty...call her a bitch and you may as well be a scoundrel.

Memory of the sacrifice made in September 11

Today happens to be the day that thousands of souls were lost to uncontrolled terrorists  who deem themselves redeemers of a lost nation.
I do not feel horror but a deep sense of sorrow. I didn't lose anyone there but kids over my age ended their dreams in disaster. Fifteen years on, what happened there would still influence our very existence. My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones, friends and people who meant the world to them. No one can ever understand pain until when kissed by its rough edges. I ponder today on the enormity of the loss, and what America may have turned out to be without its impact. But what we have to do is build a better world, worthy of the sacrifice of the lost souls.

Bobrisky: One way to shut up Bobrisky...

I took up to reading an article yesterday, and it was talking about the divergent nature of the teachings of our religious leaders and what is being practiced today. He said "jesus never mentioned gays or abortion but he focused on the sick and the poor, yet some christian leaders have prospered by demonizing gays". Apology to the person that wrote it up but am certain he didn't do enough research. What about the issue in Sodom and Gomorrah...wasn't it because of sexual relationships between same sex. Jesus didn't have to elaborate on issues about abortion because it is written "thou shall not kill" so you would be talking or writing a lot of grab if you approach this topic that way.

I do not mean to Criticize anyone, but I must speak the truth...that guy may be having some issues  we may not be aware of. But it continually baffles me when I see the way the social media handles the issue. The only way to stop this guy from messing around is silence.  I mean total silence. A silence that may pass for isolation. The more people keep answering and poking fingers into his face he would continue to feel he's Kanye or Jay-Z. I do not care if it's based on his personal freedom, all I care about is the wrong messages he is passing to really young ones....

Feminism and mutation

Dear feminists,
Being liberal as a woman doesn't mean being vulgar about your opinions. There has to be something conservative about the way you think. What about morality? You stamping your opinions on social media about loose sex does not seem right. Why should a woman be loose with her body, why must we express how we feel sexually? Some would say why shouldn't we be loose when the male gender is...let me ask a question "must we be stupid inorder to prove that we may just be as equal". The main reason why a woman and a man can't be totally equal is because of our biological discrepancies. Accept or leave it. We can match up with men intellectually and otherwise...but the moment a woman says I want to go out bare chested because men do, she is nuts, I mean totally nuts. If you are angry about something, please take it somewhere else and stop sharing your ideas on the media; cos of really young girls who may embrace your stupid and dead  ideas as an escape route from doing right.

What I need in a man...

Early this week I heard someone say "I do not need a man who can't take care of me,  who can't settle my needs". I was really stunned because I thought we must have gone way pass our dependence on men to supply all we need. Really, I do not want a man with all the money in the world, I do not need a man with items that may attract my fancies. I do not need someone who would dance at me with cash that may last for enternity. All I need is a good man, one who fears the lord, one who is potentially able to take care of my needs. One who may not have all but is able to give the little he has to me. I may need the cash, the houses, the fanciful stuff but I need a heart that I could hold on to until death's ugly face prevails.

Now, that's religion _ Nicholas Kristof

It's not the bureaucracy that inspires me, or doctrine, or ancient rituals, or even the most glorious cathedral, temple or mosque, but rather a Catholic missionary doctor in Sudan treating bomb victims, an evangelical physician achieving the impossible in rural Angola, a rabbi battling for Palestinians' human right- they fill me with an almost holy sense of awe. Now, that's religion.

Top reasons to know you are a conservative Christian.

Conservative Christians would cover their hair, abstain from make-up, wear clothes that could sweep the ground...making judgements at people may just be a religious obligation. They put up this sanctimonious behaviour inorder for people to think they are prayer warriors when they can't even last 5mins. Some may think the ultimate prayer is "our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name"...you can put it together. Studying the Bible seems absurd to them because they think they are moving bibles. If they do, they end up attributing high philosophies to judge the authenticity of the purity of the word. In the face of violence, they sit rooted in one place trying hard to avoid topics related to  terrorism and all inorder not to be contradicted. They may even judge Martin Luther or Ghandi for the use of non-violent means to pacify violence. Others would say they should have waited on the Lord to bring judgement on the people causing hard times. As long as nothing affects them "they would continually remain at peace in Zion". If there's news about massive destruction, they would ask "where!!! is it coming any way close to us" and when they answer comes "it's happening in Arabia, France" a sigh of relief is taken by them and they spit out "all is well". What about tithing and offering..you are gonna hear comments like "why would I pay my tithe when that pastor has 20 private jets" it doesn't cross their minds that this pastors have been automatically blessed by God. Heaven and hell seems more like a mirage to them. Some may say it's an illusion, why hasn't the Lord paid a visit to the earth over decades.

You may never see God as-long-as you stick on as a conservative material.

Does Donald Trump stand a chance with his rapid change on racial insensitivity.

Someone once said that 4 months is a lot of time to change a lot of things in American politics. Trump who has campaigned for president as a blunt provocateur, dismissing complaints of racial insensitivity as political correctness, took an uncharacteristic step on Saturday: He visited a black church for the first time and tried to blend in.

Trump may have certainly become wiser in order to get for himself votes from the black community. But I may ask what sought of transformation can make a typical racist who has disliked blacks from the start suddenly take on an impressive turn. His company has even been charged against the discrimination of blacks. In remark he said:
“I fully understand that the African-American community has suffered from discrimination and that there are many wrongs that must still be made right,” Mr. Trump said, adding: “For any who are hurting: Things are going to turn around. Tomorrow will be better.”

There must be something more political about his rapid change than a part on sincerity. I may accept "4 month is a really long time in American politics to change a lot of things".

Letter to an Extremist...

I was going through the New York times yesterday, and I came across this article that talks about the recent plight of the Muslims in France. This women talked about exactly how they feel about the recent happenings: the ban on burkini, and being asked to go back home. The post highlights their recent plight in a letter extracted from their comments.
                                       
Dear extremists,
        I do not know who you are. I do not know where you are, but I sincerely hope you read this letter. I am in pain deeper than you would ever feel. I have lost all that means the world to me; my peace, my joy, my happiness, my soul, my confidence but I haven't lost my connection with the spirit of the world, so I write. I know that you may have forgotten what it means to love and be loved but please take out time to read this. Right now am being sent away from the only place I regard as home. I am utterly confused at being told to live because I do not know where home is anymore.  Recently, Anti-Muslim bias has intensified after the attacks on Charlie Hebdo in Paris and Nice this year. I do not know how to put up with dirty looks and remarks no more.

I am a woman who has been refurbished out of the activities of men. The way people looked at us has changed. "Tongues have loosened....No one is afraid of telling a Muslim to go back home. Now I can't put on what I want anymore because our modern world thinks tanning naked is accepted but keeping clothes on at the beach isn't. This reminds me of my first days in high school after French law banned the hijab in schools. My teacher forced me to take off my headscarf in front of all the other pupils. I stood humiliated.  Today my heart is broken again. I just looked at the woman taking off her clothes, and asked myself, when will all these end. I am insulted, spat on everyday in the subway, on the bus, at school. Yet, I have never insulted or hit someone. No! Am just a Muslim. But being it makes me cry at night. I do not know who you are, I do not know where you stay, I do not know if you sleep at night.

I am a Muslim and a woman who wants to remain covered. I was curious to see if in the cities where they forbade women in Burkini's, dogs could swim. Personally, I am scandalized that dogs can have more right than a scared woman. To me, wearing a veil does not seem being enslaved by a man. But if the whole world thinks so, then who am I. They talk about integration. Even if we make every effort and try to be 'integrated' we are constantly reminded that to be properly and completely integrated we must give up our principle and our religion. To be a Muslim woman  in France is to live in apartheid of which the beach bans are the latest.

I have tears in my eyes, I have been wounded and I know that I may never be the same. My heart is 100 percent French, but it seems like I have to prove my Frenchness and with everything going on, I am tired of justifying my identity. Extremist, why are you causing us so much harm and pain. Have you taken out time to realize that we are gonna die eventually. I may be sent home anytime from now but can you feel my pain. Can you see that you have been misled. Can you see that the world is bright right in front of you. There's time dear extremist. There's a reason to smile truly. There's the world to be uncovered.

Yours sincerely
French Muslim women.

Looking out for the solar of the sun....

I have been on my bed all day  staring outside my window, patiently waiting for the solar Eclipse. Every little change in the weather makes me shudder with fright. Although, the distance makes me feel that it may never happen. For I ask myself, how can the moon pass between the sun and earth, and the moon fully or partially blocks the sun. Ah, I feel the earth is going to pick up legs and take a walk into enternity. This makes me feel a tightening in my stomach that could pass for a phobia. Let it pass soon.

Depression sounds like a calm expression, but it is a word that has affected thousands of young people in the 21st generation....
