THE BOY CHILD

I think that organization thats fighting for the rights of the boy-child has something going there. Initially id thought, oh no! another briefcase ngo fleecing on unsuspecting donors funding but after some of the things ive witnessed in my short life im thinking...yes, we've concentrated so much on the girl-child that we forgot about the boys...and because of that, we now have a crop of men who really have no clue what being a man is all about. Ask T.D Jakes...no, go out and buy his book "he-motions" and ull get an idea about what im saying. Im thinking about the "fanya hesabu" ad by jimmy gathu and his message on mpango wa kando...its that thing about not taking up responsibility...surely...life cannot be about partying all the time with different women...and no, disrespecting your wife or girlfriend by using all forms of abuse does not cut it either...which makes me ask this question? where did men learn this behaviour? who taught them its ok to be this kind of person? A shrink will tell you its something from your childhood...could it be? Ive heard this and i think theres a point here: how u grow up..a happy home..a happy child, an abusive home..an abusive child...a child learns what he sees. Although that may not apply to everyone, there those whove come out of the negative and built very positive lives despite their experiences..oprah for example. So if its not really about childhood, what is it? insecurity...lack of knowledge? Whatever the case, point is, its time some men started unlearning some behaviours. Its not just for their own good but for the good of society. Social ethics 101: the man is the head of the family...the family is the basic unit of society...imagine with me a man who has no values or who does not take up his responsibility as the head of the home...multiply that with 1000 family units...the end result? Now picture it the other way...man who knows his role and takes up his responsibilities... yap..im for boy-child rights...maybe we can get it right this way. maybe.
