Who Will I Marry?

Who will I marry?

By Linda Wairegi

I’m not a ranting 30-something lady, employed and living alone in a big house or a small apartment. Lately, there has been a lot of dialogue about the boy child and his neglected rights. A few feminists have laughed at these sentiments and cajole the boy child to fight for his rights like how women are still pushing hard for the girl child.

I say that if the boy child carries on being neglected then who will you marry. Ladies really need to be worried. At this rate, the girl child is becoming more independent, competitive and aware of her rights. Whereas, the boy child is still living with the same ideals that his father and his great-grandfather did e.g. the man is responsible for making all the decisions in the households.

A little boy is still caught up at crossroads about what society expects from him. It means that the rights of the boy child need to go through re-definition. If things don’t change and people keep popping the question of ‘What about the boy child?’. Then you’d better start asking yourself who the ladies in your life will marry if the boy child keeps being ignored.
