Some women get it wrong!

"As much as men do not expose some of their chunk of boneless flesh through their flaps while going about their daily businesses, the women should also spare us the sights of cracks in their butts and their almost-about-to-flip breasts from its uncomfortable zones. Being a woman is sexual enough!"


I have heard in many circles that women are their own enemies and as much as I believe that same goes to men too, I couldn’t help agreeing more to that assertion. Whilst, it is easy for commentators to be labeled chauvinistic in nature, I want to also believe that, all the men seek to do, is to comment on what happens in the world of our women.

What’s the big deal? A 20year old Musician, Miley Cyrus “simulated masturbation with a giant foam finger, grabbing her crotch and rubbing herself against a man old enough to be her father, pretending the man was performing anal sex on her and walked around in a nude latex bikini” in a bid at performing ‘twerking’, to the audience that graced the just ended MTV VMA awards in America and the world at large and you ask yourself what has the world come to?

People are talking about how racist the performance was, but, since I don’t have much racial experiences except the one I have had with my fellow ‘Blacks’ who prefers to treat the ‘Whites’ with a sense of urgency at the expense of ethical considerations where everyone should be treated equal and orderly, as far as queues are concerned, so, I have chosen to talk about how the performance was debasing to women.
 
Why is everyone going out of their way to flaunt their sensuality when it is the least to be showcased anyway? It is very convenient for some ladies to go about half naked or to expose their vitals at the mercy of raunchy feeding eyes of men. Whereas, it is worthy to note that this trend is mainly spearheaded by the unmarried who should ideally keep their bosoms intact, the irony is even heightened by the fact that the trend is overwhelming our society.

It is a disturbing phenomenon to say the least, because, they are all around us.  All you have to do is to watch a secular video clip and you will find a woman who is almost nude and shaking what her mama gave her, as though her life is dependent on the act. It is even interesting to note that their male counterparts in the same act looks all dressed up if not well dressed up. I don’t know women to have much to do with Motorbikes, but you are bound to see a half-butt naked woman advertising the brand. They do same when advertising for a stick of cigarette, cars, room fittings, furniture, underwear, stilettos and what have you.

Have some women allowed themselves to be demeaned just because they are deemed to be leaving in a patriarchal society?

Watch a Hip-hop video and you will see a woman happily washing cars in a bikini while her male counterparts sit comfortably throwing dice and sipping alcoholic beverages which does not make sense. Women are supposed to be dignified, protected and taken care of, so subjecting them to such roles only makes you ask if it is solely for the love of money or it’s just their preserve?

Sensationalism accounts for some of the factors that have driven some of these ladies along this road but we also know that, most of them are oblivious of their own folly and ignorance, as they immerse neck deep into unknown cultures and fashion trends.

As much as I do not like to wade into the sensationalism caused by these puppet stars who are instructed on what to do, to be in the tabloids just to distract us from the basic issues and imminent dangers we are faced with on daily basis, my reverberating thoughts would not let me be.

It’s an unequivocal fact that, one’s action or feelings should not stop the other from expressing their persona and what makes them happy since it infringes on their rights, but if the popular maxim still stands that men are aroused by what they see, then is it not convenient to say that, some of these women are pushing their ‘freedom-to-express’ button too hard?

These sights are even commonplace with the advent of social media where everyone feels a sense of entitlement to their space or walls, forgetting that, values and culture still abounds and nothing has changed. Maybe, things have changed, but, can’t we exercise some decorum?

As long as men do not expose some of their chunk of boneless flesh through their flaps while going about their daily businesses, the women should also spare us the sights of cracks in their butts and their almost-about-to-flip breasts from its uncomfortable zones. Being a woman is sexual enough!

Experience even tells some of these poster women with the knack of going semi-nude that, such a lifestyle have a telling effect on their social capital, thereby making them a ‘Miss Right now’ rather than a ‘Miss Right’ for horny men with prying eyes. Yet, the trend is on the ascendency, all in the name of Freedom of expression, a fundamental human right that must be enjoyed by everyone.

We have an explosive menace on our hand as a society and the multi-million dollar question is, how do we curb this derailing trend that is about to detonate, thus, setting our society ablaze with naked women around all dressed-up men?
