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!
