Let us talk about women, folks! I
understand it is not a conscious topic. Stories of women (or girls) are
associated with pettiness, unfound whining and worse of all we have socialized
those that do not call for our respect in debauchery. If you gonna host a
woman, largely prepare for either, more so if in any way she feels inferior to
you. Apart from sex, which of cause any can offer, women have left us good
memories, learning instances and opened our eyes to new understanding.
In giving back, sons of soil have
been responsible in offering technical help. A bulb went off and when it was
replaced, the new did not light. The tap is loose man, do something. The gate
hinges screech badly! Don’t we have a male figure around? If such would be
remembered then the accusations towards men would reduce.
As agents of change, a woman can
make one feel that you have long foolishly wallowed in deprivation and
ignorance. ‘Look at your bed! Can’t you buy new sheets? Blankets are no longer
in use. There are cheap duvets men. Stop embarrassing yourself. Is this the
place you want me to sleep?’ Haha. The next time she will come to a new house,
better than the other, a sofa set installed with a cooking gas in place. She
would smile internally and mock at your folly. Did you have to take that long?
Before leaving for high school
the poor village boy who never knew the essence of a closet was excused by his
sister. She helped him pack items in the iron box. There he saw her take a
shirt by the back, folding each side straight before the collar before folding
it twice or once- ‘How you like it bro,’ she said. Only the least to satisfy
would opt for an iron box.
Socks are clothing too and when
washed should be well folded to avoid the wrinkles that would hurt your leg in
a tight shoe. You have been used to coiling them roughly and here she is,
teaching you how to fold them in pairs before rolling them into a beautiful
ball. There will be no time where one part of the pair goes missing. That is a
big problem simply solved.
My friend had one bucket for a
start. Well served for that moment, he could ask for a basin or two from the
neighbor once in a while for laundry. He says that his girlfriend visited one
day and was about to help when she discovered that she would have to take a
neighbor’s item. How she hates asking neighbours for items! Basins are not very
expensive boy. Heaven sent, she bought them.
A woman would stand to correct
and reprove a man in a direct way that a fellow man would not. They stand to
say what they feel and want. And a man would accept that as a good challenge
and employ efforts to provide.
It sours when the expectations
cannot be fulfilled, when reproving is received as undermining or
embarrassment, when one does not put self in the other’s position- when reproving
is used to gain advantage.
