#‎MyBodyMyRight

On Monday 17 November 2014 at 10am i will be at Uhuru Park, Nairobi to protest the humiliation Kenyan women are being put through by men stripping us in public. My heart bleeds particularly for the woman who recently suffered this in Nairobi. I refuse to be a part of an undignified society.

The words of Meshack Yobby speak for me in this time when rage and deep disappointment have strangled my voice.

"I am gravely disappointed in how men (please forgive the generalization) were raised. If you think a lady who dresses below your standards of decency should be stripped and fondled in public to 'teach her a lesson', please unfriend me. This is not a matter for debate.
If you secretly think that 'she deserved it', please unfriend me.
If you think a lady in a mini skirt invited rape on herself, please unfriend me.

I'll tell you why I have no time for you.

You are a pervert. Men don't strip a woman naked in the streets because she is indecent. They strip her because they want to see her nakedness. It is not because of morals. Those same men are not saints. They are probably cheating on their women. They have their sins.
They are cowards who rely on the cheering of other perverts to get the courage to rip a woman's clothes off.
No, it is not about decency. Men walk the sane streets in tight trousers that outline their manhood. Men sag trousers till their butt cracks are seen. They are never stripped.

It is perversion.
It is looking at women as sex objects.
It is sexual assault.
It is the lowest form of scum.
If it happens to women they love...if your wife was stripped naked...

Women are human beings. The way we are behaving, every notion of decency and morality is judged through the eyes of men, not women. Never women.

A decent man will keep his loins calm when a woman in a miniskirt walks past. If you can strip a woman naked because of her dressing, then you are the rapist who justifies the act by claiming a woman was dressed provocatively.
Nonsense. Control your hormones. I have no patience with you. Scum."
