Patriarchy And Its Blurry Edges - A Must Read #justiceforuwa by Lightspeaksblog(m): 7:09am On Jun 01, 2020
In a society where PATRIARCHY sits beautifully on a wooden bench, with legs crossed and territory secured; I'd venture to intrude, I'd venture to rip off one of the legs of the wooden bench where it sits.

The emotional, sexual and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says "It's a girl"

The flush of happy-sad emotions carefully interrupted with "What Society Demands"

There is a bias ; moreso it's an uneven bias.

Good enough, the next wave of Parents just might be you and I, hence, it is of utmost importance that we at least change the narrative.

The beauty of gender is that we're different yet alike. For way too long we've dwelt on the "difference" ; and no one, just no one seems to see the likeness. No one seems to see that the very moral upbringing you deem fit for the girl-child should also with equal gusto be enacted on the male-child.
No one seems to see that when Proverbs 22 : 6 was written, the writer had both sexes in mind.

But no, we all have default Glaucoma ; and for reasons best known to us, we've all refused to see a doctor. Our Glaucoma came with his guy "Cataract" ; so we now take sides. We've all turned a blind eye to Moral upbringing for the male child, no, it is a default program in his system ; just like an app that comes with a newly bought phone, moral upbringing is already installed in Gbenga and Femi; Luke and Light; Charles and Felix right from their baby-hood.

So when the doctor spills "It's a boy", we're flushed with "societal" joy ; we dance and swirl in every direction the virus in us tells us to, why? It's less work, send him to school and nothing else, or fair enough ; sprinkle some religious activities in-between, to aid the pre-installed upbringing and boom another "Societal" PATRIARCH is formed.
One that the god of PATRIARCHY would be proud of ; grinning from ear to ear as he gently raises and lowers his native offor on his newest project, A DEMON.

THAT VIRUS IS A DEMON; THAT DEMON IS YOU AND I IF WE DON'T RECEIVE SENSE !

You're right, let's give MATRIARCHY a try instead.

HELL NA, WE'RE CURRENTLY OCCUPIED WITH DISCARDING BROKEMEN AND SCOUTING FOR RICH BOYS, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPARE TIME TO DISCUSS OR TAKE LEAD OF ANYTHING ELSE.
