The beauty of being a woman comes in various shades. It is the pride of being ‘unbewitchable’ unlike the male gender. For a woman can never be conquered by juju or black magic, only a man can. Only a man can be bewitched to lose his senses and become ‘snatchable’ by another women who disconnects him from his wife.
This in turn births another strength of a woman, a woman can break such ‘bewitching’ locks through prayer! Glory! Yes! Only a woman can pray her spouse out of infidelity for men are a breed immune to the gift of prayer. So when a woman is unfaithful, society knows, society can tell, a man is not expected to pray his wife back to her marriage for two reasons. One, she cannot be bewitched by another man for she is immune to juju and two, men cannot pray. The absence of the ‘bewitchableness’ of a woman is sometimes called into question particularly at burials of husbands. Yes, we try to make exceptions for women. Only widows can kill their husbands to inherit their property, be it debt or a negative account balance. Widowers are exempt! Of course widowers must be exempt! Women have no earnings, incomes or assets that a husband can covet.
How beautiful it is to be incorruptible in so many ways yet corruptible to the point of fertility for only women can be barren or infertile. Hence, we shall decide, as a nation never to hold spiritual crusades to pray for infertile men. Infertile men? They are a myth! They simply do not exist! Why? How many religious houses have you seen praying for barren men? We simply cannot have them because they are not a part of our society! At best, it is reserved only for Nollywood.
Oh what the joys are! To be part of a gender that is continuously celebrated. This is why we shall never hear ‘Mama na girl o’ the stark opposite of ‘Mama na boy o’. The beauty of being a man is however nothing compared to that of a woman who is many things. A woman is never allowed to lose form after marriage for she must wage war against the effects of childbirth and keep her figure intact lest she surrenders her husband to wandering beauties. Men on the other hand, we have to graciously grant the privilege of possessing ‘Saki pot-sized’ bellies due to the strong power of beer.
I am happy to be deemed incorruptible in the face of the several challenges a woman must face and I must say, it is a beautiful way to live!
