PLEASE: Hear this, men

| May 18, 2018 1:00 AM

From mothers to our sons:

We gave you life and with God-given intelligence we raised you and you survived. You were an nifant totally dependent on what we did to keep you thriving and growing.

We taught you basic potty training, how to feed yourself. walk and talk, and so much more.

When you hurt, we did too. When you were sad, it broke our hearts. We were your greatest cheerleaders.

Then you became men, and now you decide that women — your mother, sisters, wives, daughters and granddaughters — with our God-given intelligence, are not suitable to make choices for our own bodies. You will make them for us?

You are no different than any other racial group. You decide if we cover our hair. We can’t cut it or must cover our bodies with a bouka. We endure female circumcision so we won’t have the sexual pleasure that God gave us.

You try to stop us from education, equal work for equal pay. What are you so afraid of? Females are the other half of humanity. You want to control our reproductive bodies — why don’t you start with your own?

You run for office. Your religious and controlling misuse of power is evil.
