[civsoc-mw] Women demo on equality.

[Stanley Nazombe]

Botswana has an obvious shortage of men. I hear the same thing happened to Russia after  WWII. Then you see women bending gender roles. They build houses, they climb up the roofs to repair leaks, digging graves etc. When the population comes back to equilibrium, these gender roles go back to where they were before the equilibrium was disturbed

Batswana women are a different specie. They even beat men if the man is a nuisance.  Most successful businesses are owned by women. A woman can even buy beer for a man and it is normal. Malawian women expect to be bought beers. They have an entrenched dependency syndrome that dies not help their cause for gender equality. A Malawian woman can have K1m in her bag but still expect to be entertained by a man with k50000 in red. Botswana women sometimes pay men for sex. It is a normal occurrence. They know what they want. A Batswana woman has no issue if her man is not working. The same can not be said of Malawian women. They become rude and very disrespectful.

A different perspective.
Botswana has always had co-education. Whether boarding or day schools. No seperate boys and girls schools.
Women hold very high positions as PSs, Directors, principals and deputy principals of tertiary institutions. They own big companies and businesses.
By the 80s women were already admitted to any programme at tertiary institutions.
Co-education at all levels without exception was normal. It was weird to Nyasa people who grew up knowing girls and boys could not go to same boarding secondary schools.
I don't know if there was a boarding secondary school in Malawi where cooks were women. It has always been normal in Botswana with women cooks, chefs, taxi and combi drivers, drivers of huge 100 ton mine trucks etc.
The point is, our system creates gender inequality right from young age. Combine that with decades of women being told what to wear and not wear. 
I don't know of any African country where women dancing for president was institutionalised like Malawi. Yes we popularised osunga mwambo and it is the very same phrase which is propagating inequality.
The best way as it were is to start with both boy and girl child. Let them grow up together so that they can learn from early age how to treat each other with respect.

I have the same experience. A grace chavula. She was very bright. She went to Lilongwe Girls. I went to Mitundu night. Next I hear she was at Poly doing secretarial studies while I went to chanco doing general degree ya mabwana. I still think she should have been a PS or vice chancellor of Unima. Some study indeed needs to be undertaken

As much as I support the concept of equality and protection of women empowerment, the only Act of parliament I have seen is on GBV. On boards it is only Environment management Board that there is a stipulation on board composition.
I want to create CIVSOC forum board, can women here raise their hand so that I I include them. If the board comprise KBK,TC, LN, SK, LN, CWG, some women somewhere will demonstrate.
Zinthu za maquota maybe politically correct but it is up to us as individuals to stand up and be counted. Not because of our noise but our worth.
Inu azimai, don't normalise kumamenyedwa mapama. Don't normalise kumaumilizidwa kukhala house wife.
Alice Namathanga, I don't know where she is, competed with me for position 1 in standard 7 at C.I in Blantyre. Next time ndinamva kuti ku secondary school sanapite or she got married. I felt like crying. Why do our girls drop by the way side?
We need some sort of conference, commission of inquiry or whatever to look and hardships faced by women from girl child to adult. This will allow for appropriate intervention.
