This is a must read. Just out of curiosity, do married men really expect their wives to wash their underwear?

Reminds me of the "Problem without a name" by Shulamith Firestone and the Dialectic of Sex. Few observations from the article:
1. The author is bitter for no good reason.
2. There is the biological feminism that is instinctive in every woman and mother. Mothering can never be forced on men who are instinctively not designed to be mothers. The tendency to mother (i.e cook, keep the house etc) is to me an extension of the innate mother instinct in female human beings. This cannot be traded off even when women are educated.
3. Economic emancipation of women is the greatest thing that feminism can attribute to the "freedom" of todays elite urban woman!

I can demolish the misguided authors' argument from the first sentence.

Quote:
We hear the advice that “Kenyan women need to take care of their men to keep them”...


The author, despite writing acres of words clearly does not understand the meaning of the word 'care'.

If she did, she would not have thought it is degrading.

care ~ verb common
[kair]

4. be in charge of, act on, or dispose of

care ~ noun common

5. attention and management implying responsibility for safety

etc

Choosing from among the many meanings of 'care' as a verb as used in the authors' sentence, we can say that “Kenyan women need to be in charge of their men to keep them”.

Now who in her right mind would not want such a thing?

Some women activists and feminists don't have anything between their ears!

That's a fact!
