WIRED DIFERENTLY?

WIRED   DIFERENTLY?

 Whenever I see society trying to give men and women different treatment  to common things I begin to wonder whether we are wired differently. On a hot day  a man can leave home and go to a cool joint to grab a cold beer and it is OK. Yesterday it was so hot so I left my work place  to go grab a bowl of icecream at a nearby supermarket. Immediately I took a sit and balanced to wait for my command a man walked up to my table and  took a sit by me. And asked me if I was waiting for someone. I told him I am alone and  I needed some space and peace. He looked at me and asked if I were married. I flashed my wedding band to him and also asked him if there was any rule that single ladies can't go out alone.  I felt so humiliated by him and to prove to him women  are their own bosses. I paid his bill and left.
A friend was complaining to me this morning how she travelled out of home to another city and while booking a hotel room a family friend saw her and immediately called her husband to find out if  he authorised his wife to sleep in a hotel? Her husband told him his wife has rights  like him to sleep where she feels comfortable.
These incidences have led me thinking whether. This discriminations and lack of freedom is just an AFRICAN Cultural thing because when I wen I travelled to the US for vacation in 2012 I was so excited with the level of independence and freedom for the women. You could see them everywhere.i restaurants.clubs hotels etc.my dear African sisters maybe we are not doing much to exhert ourselves.  It is not about shouting Feminism and making the men to feel we are at war with their dignity and authority. I believe it entails more
Firstly we start by educating and empowering our young girls from small to be bold and resilient in facing the world
We teach our women and girls to be proactive. To dream big and work hard to like their male counterpart to earn their respect.
To walk and act in dignity and not compromise their pride.
Also teach our male children that  like them girls have a right to their freedom.
Gradually we will all get there  to start respecting the woman's freedom in public spaces.
