Oh how time flies....I stopped blogging as new things happened in my life, a new job, a new baby, a new life of being semi married....these responsibilities have kept me off my laptop. Not to forget, our baby, nicknamed Kaduve, does not allow me to move close to the computer when I'm home.
I wrote this little post (see below) last April, and I'm just glad the boy has allowed me to touch my laptop this evening, so I can share some of my views ( and keep my mind busy analyzing non important issues).

April. The month when we are still feeling very much like a woman loved...Valentines day was just the other day and we are yet to recover from the pampering we received during the International Womens' day that was marked in March. But lest we forget...there is still a long path waiting to be troden.
I was just thinking about the writer Simon de Beauvoir. How she dissected the woman's role, the woman as the mother and the woman as the wife...some of the gems from this lady, that women are actually made...not born. we are socialised to accept certain roles and we end up being the so called 'weaker sex'.
One thing i learned while growing up though, there were far more women surviving in old age than men...and if life is the survival of the fittest, then your guess can be as good as mine.
Look at the animal kingdom, the lion is considered a king, but I've seen lionesses lead hunts ...that should indeed leave them being considered as the Kings.
As I look all around me, women are still in most instances paid less than their male counterparts for doing the same job.

This is as far as I wrote on this particular day, since I was rudely interrupted by a toddler seeking attention from his mom. Should I say, to be continued....about six years later when Kaduve is in school!
