WOMEN ARE FOES TO THEMSELVES.

I never knew it was a day for Women on the International Scenery, until I logged on to Face book this morning. Forgive my ignorance, I’m an employee too, and workload hasn’t allowed me to stay too informed.        
Colorful pictures of Females at various Seminars/Workshops flooded my timeline. One good thing about women however is, we could successfully multi-task, are very creative (if we really want to), are fantastic home builders, among other mind blowing qualities that one could ever think of. 
But that got me reminiscing, how evil our minds could be, especially to fellow women.

Generally known to be very emotional, an average Woman is dramatic and could be tricky too. My mum once said, embedded in every woman is the spirit of Delilah. (A bible character known to have tricked Samson into giving up the true source of his strength) .  She (every woman) has gotten the power to manipulate, is possessed with the spirit of 'sorcery' and to trick, Other references to attest to the true manipulative powers of a woman is the story of Adam, Eve and the forbidden fruit, the tale behind Herod’s wife and beheading of John Baptist. Little wonder why God himself is patriarchal.
The good news is, each woman has the power to choose, by being of good conscience, to NOT develop the Delilah in her, or to simply do otherwise.

In time past, I have come across articles supposedly written by Men-writers, whose emotions had been bashed by some women, hence labeling us all as evil, and I said to myself, if only these men knew how much evil these same species of human had done to themselves. 

On women being the enemies of themselves, the worse kind of bosses to have (not in all cases though) are the females. I once worked under a female supervisor and it wasn’t a nice experience right from the first day. She picked on literary every little thing I do. She screams at my innocent errors, errors that she would normally overlook for other colleagues and always wants to show her disapproval at every given opportunity, that I almost resigned. Not until a colleague hinted, that she resented me just because of my ‘choice of skirts’, which were oftentimes short. A silly reason for wanting to make me prefer joblessness to the humiliation she had put me through. Female bosses appear terrible when they have unhealthy relationships too, being bad emotional Managers, they take it out on quite a number of unnecessary things/people like their customers, clients and most especially their subordinates.  A happy woman could be strict or seems an imperfect boss, but never to be unduly mean. Feel free to quote me.

Women are also fond of giving ‘ill’ advises to their peers when in need of succor. When one of us is going through a hard time in her marriage/relationship especially, she informs her female friends/colleagues about it, and before you know it, various advice would be given from a selfish point of view. Tips,bad enough to ruin her bliss.

Let me cite the case of One Zambian teacher, Patricia Mwelwa as an example. She allegedly ‘snatched’ David Mukunbwa, from his wife, who incidentally was her best friend. When the couple were having marital issues, she appeared like a mediator who interceded for a peaceful coexistence between these two, only to end up being legally married to him. A year later, the illicit affair, which I strongly believed was consummated as a result of the intervention of some sort of African voodoo being used on the man by the ‘husband snatcher’ hit the rocks, and the man, since gone back to his family. Apologies if I sounded archaic, but of all the men in the world, why chose your best friend’s spouse.

A similar story was shared by OAP, Toke Makinwa. There is this woman, a medical practitioner, married to a man from similar profession, had four kids and felt her union was devoid of troubles. She had always known of one particular ‘other woman’ in his life, but he had always dismissed it as being just his friend. Only for her to somehow come across an envelope in the husband’s car that contained the international passport of him, that of the other woman and their four kids, with an American visa contained in it. Then another document that serves as the real shocker, her own death certificate and the marriage certificate of her supposedly loving husband, and the other woman she thought was her husband’s friend stared her right there in the face. Almost all those who commented on the blog where the story was featured blamed the man, and seemed unconcerned about the evil woman, who might have manipulated the man into involving in such an act of betrayal. 

            Anyways, It’s International Women’s day, and we should not all be out there clamoring for gender equality from men, (which is what we seem to fight for since the advent of civilization and technology) leaving important things like these admonitions behind.

Proudly we should all be able to say, I am a woman, I am smart, I make a positive difference, I not only matter but care.

 I join the world to say Happy International Women Day
