Boys Are Not Stones -- John Chizoba Vincent by SynCityNg: 10:32am On Jul 05, 2018 |
Irecall the day when a friend of mine was beaten blue and black by a girl in school. He came back home and told his parents what happened. It was a mess. His father was as mad as a scorned masquerade. He shouted, danced here and there to his ability. He asked my friend where his hands were when the girl beat him up. I was there. My friend couldn’t speak because he was too afraid to. His father went into his room, got a rope, tied his hands and legs and began to beat him. His mother did not help the matter. As I grew older, I constantly related this experience to being an inhumane one. A wife beats her husband and people laugh it away. A man beats his wife and it is tagged violence against women. It makes the headlines in the dailies. Culture, tradition and the society as a whole constantly comparing the boy’s strength with the girl’s. It doesn’t matter who is older and physically stronger... http://syncityng.com/2018/07/04/the-boy-child-voice-with-john-chizoba-vincent/
