It's
a man's world, they say. But then, since it's a jonzing world, we may
as well swap roles and do things the way we know how to. For once, let's
do this our own way: Instead of Bachelor of Arts (B.A), we'll have
Spinster of Arts (S.A); M.sc will no longer stand for Master of Science,
rather, it'll mean Mistress of Science. Our MCs will no longer be known
as Master of Ceremonies, instead our comperes will be called Mama of
Ceremonies. We'll rewrite history and instead of Eve giving Adam the
forbidden fruit to eat, it'll be Adam cajoling Eve with sweet words
(guys you know how you do your thing now *wink*) convincing her to have a
taste. Our women will be head of states, and our men, first men. At
national conferences, we'll occupy the first row and block others' view
with our headgear. When mishaps happen, we'll cry smearing our make up.
In the church, we'll be the pope prophesying with our bulging tummies at
the altar. We'll breastfeed while signing bills into laws. We'll annul
polygamy and philandering will bring about severe punishment. We'll
write the wills and pay the bills. In short, we'll run the show! But
then, you know we love you guys, having your support and care, we let
you wear the trousers and regard you as our crown. Respect and love us,
give us equal representation where it matters, that's all we ask. I
Rise. Vique.
