No Sex In Politics
Politics all around the world had been, for the most part dominated by Men. No matter how fast the feminist movement has progressed over the past few years, there always seem to be a glass ceiling for them to progress to the upper echelons of the political world.
Not anymore.
It seems that the women folks have stumbled on a way to topple our way of life as we know it… The method is so low and yet so blindingly brilliant, not to mention obvious that it’s a wonder no one thought about it earlier. I have a friend in Kenya and he must not be responding well to this little piece of news:
I’m sure some of you are thinking to yourselves (by some of you, I meant Women). Would this work? Would Men really succumb to such childish tactics? Would powerful Men give up their quest for power just so they can get into some girls’ panties? Are we so sex-crazed that we would be so easily manipulated?
Speaking as someone who has years of experience being a man, I would say… No doubt about it.
I am not proud of it, but once, in my younger days, I’ve snucked into the Campus swimming pool in the dead of night, and jumped, fully clothed into the pool in the hopes that a specific Girl would let me get into her panties and bear my babies. Of course, I did not count on the fact that most sane women would not want to perpetuate “breaking-and-entering,pool-jumping” genes.
I digress.
Rukia Subow of Maendeleo ya Wanawake of the G10 umbrella of Kenyan women’s organisations was quoted as saying, “This is a national boycott to show that the women of this country have resolved to push for reforms”
If that was not a magnificent pun, I don’t know what is.
“We want an urgent solution to the political problems facing this country,” Subow said, urging the wives of quarrelling coalition partners President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga to support the movement.
Of course, my sympathies go to the Prime Minister, who was unknowingly caught in the middle of this discourse. Because in spite of being able to lead an entire country, planning out the various policies to lead the country through this economic crisis, he will not be able to enjoy some Sexytime.
The premier’s wife, Ida Odinga, said she supported the strike body and soul.
Maybe he should try sneaking into local pool and take a cold shower instead.
