“When the NDC’s Halidu Haruna said unmarried women above 30 years are prostitutes the party was out there supporting him. When Ursula Owusu suffered verbal attacks no highly placed woman in government such as Gender Minister, Nana Oye Lithur said a word about that.” Even though he sounds incredibly crass and shallow minded, he has a point, regardless of how politically motivated it is. He questions why Ken should be brought to order when so many others have done same and haven’t been chastised.
A few weeks ago, I was on Gifty Anti’s “The Stand Point” when I said we can’t pick and choose who we support based on whether we liked them or not, we can’t be occasional activists or feminists; we have to stick to our cause regardless of who wants our help, put us down or doesn’t like us.
Unfortunately the noise all over social media is a testament to my statement that, we only support a cause based on who it’s for.
You can’t support women and so easily be a part of a”crucify her campaign” based on what she wears, who’s she’s slept with or her lifestyle.
