Award-winning Ghanaian writer, Waterz Yidana has responded to country-lady journalist, Bridget Otoo’s message about the kind of husband she’s looking for.
The writer’s post read:
I can cook and clean, Madam Bridget. I will be your “house husband”. Lol….
I read in the news that you’re looking for a man who can cook and clean to marry. I am available, but….
Be ready to provide me with all my needs. Since you’ll be the head of “our marriage” I promise to be very submissive to you and treat you like the “King” that you are…
Also get ready to deal with my mood swings. I hope you won’t marry two of us because I am a very jealous man. Lol…
As a matter of fact, I will even flash the toilet for you after you ease yourself and do the laundry and any other thing you want me to do for you that will make you feel you’ve truly escaped poverty and need to be worshipped like the god that you are….
You really think it’s easy to be a man, don’t you? Many men wish they were women because of the countless privileges that women enjoy in this world….
I bet you, if you’re made a man today, within the next 6 months, you’ll want to become a woman again, because being a man is full of responsibilities and burdens….
It’s not a man’s world as popularly quoted around the world. Men only bear the name.
It’s a woman’s world.
I know many men think that they wield more power, have more independence, and encounter fewer social problems than women, but that’s just “on the face value”…..
Women find life easier than men in many parts of the world and are in control of many things without even knowing it.
In fact, many women don’t know their true power, if they knew, they won’t even be fighting for equality because I think that they are far superior to men considering how they were biologically made and the many good things that they bring to the world….
Check the statistics, there are even more women than men in the world, isn’t this alone a huge thing for women?
That they can contest elections at any level, vote for themselves and control everybody like many of you young ladies of nowadays wish was the case….
Feminism is a wonderful ideology, but has been misinterpreted by many of you young ladies. Many of you just disrespect and degrade men as if you don’t need them in your lives, but secretly you make love to them every day which is one of your greatest needs….
We need each other, both men and women to progress as a society. There’s nothing wrong cooking and washing for a loving husband or wife.
Just that per the status quo of our culture and traditions, roles are defined in a marriage depending on which society one belongs to….
The “male privilege” is not as enjoyable as many of you women think it is….
In an African society, it is expected of the man to always protect and provide for his family, whether he has it or not— that’s never an easy task.
If you do not respect men, men will not respect you. You don’t need a man who can cook and clean to marry.
You need a man who will truly love and care for you, Bridget Otoo….
