The term women first is unheard of, you will find grown men pushing women aside at bus stops even the expectant or handicapped ones are not spared.Very Uncouth in language.No public etiquitte. We love crowds.No wonder our mentality . We are last minute people.There 's always sufficient time till d day. We are not cultured as we would like the world to believe. I think we are confused. We suffer from zubaa syndrome. Ukitaka more,I will unleash. Been on the receiving end of that at a time when I was temporarily disabled and had to use crutches. I noticed perhaps the only women spared that indignity are women in those sharp, high heeled shoes. (incidentally, why are so many of our public places/spaces so 'disability-unfriendly?  ) I thought you were a man!!!!!! But I also hope that when you were temporarily disabled you were not the one who was begging along Nyayo stadium!!!!  Dude, you're funny!! Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
