It is a known fact that, generally speaking, women like to use men. And men, too, because they usually act stupid under the spell of women, are used by women. Some men are ceremonious heads of their homes. They are dictated to by their wives or girlfriends.
Many women want to be the ones to tell their husbands how much good those husbands should do for their relatives, including their parents. These women also want to be the ones to determine how often that good should be done for their family members.
Some women control their husbands to the extent that they even convince them not to let the children had with other women live with them or support them. Women! They like to use men. They enjoy using men. They eat it like kanyan.
I usually wonder about the whole thing. Why do men usually, if not always, allow themselves to be used by women? Are they cursed? Are they stupid? Or are they just usable creatures created by God, created to be used by women, that is?
Just this gone April, I decided to walk on the beach to relax. Before long, I saw a guy and his woman also taking a walk on the same beach. After they had walked for about three or four minutes, the girl intentionally fell and started acting helpless, as if something had juked her toe or a crab had bitten her stupid foot.
I sucked at my teeth and turned my head the other way, as I found space to sit under the shade of a nearby coconut tree. Because annoying things are usually attracted to the eyes, something redirected my eyes to them.
They guy had already lifted her, with he himself almost falling in the pile of sand.
While my anger was still burning in me as a result of the using the girl was doing to the guy, I heard a more annoying thing.
“Jimmy, please tot me on your back,” remarked the girl.
Before long, I saw the stupid, usable creature called Jimmy showing his stupid back for the girl to jump there, and she was not even a slim girl. She was big.
He started walking in the sand with that heavy girl on his back, walking as if they had just tied a drum of oil on his back. I couldn’t help but suck at my teeth again.
So is this how women will continue to use men until the end of the world? So men are usable creature for women?
A few weeks ago, I was passing in community when I quickly noticed something. A man and his woman were sitting on a bench under a tree and apparently enjoying the cold breeze. Before Peter could make his first denial of Jesus, I saw the girl taking her two stupid legs and placing them on the lap of the man.
And they were not small, small legs-o. They were two helluva bright legs. The bench almost broke. Yet, the guy was there smiling. Men – nothing, but usable creatures!
Also, just last Saturday, I went to visit one of my friends and his wife. When I entered their living room, I saw his girlfriend’s two legs resting on his lap, while they girl laid back in the sofa, eating popcorn.
All I could ask was: “So men are really usable creatures created by God for women?” I sucked at my teeth and sat my dry butt on the seat offered me.
Even when a man and his woman go to the supermarket, it is the man who will be carrying the basket like a little children or be pushing the trolley as if he were the gateman accompanying the woman to the supermarket, as the women only busies herself with picking items from shelves and placing them in the basket or trolley.
When you check carefully, in most instances, it is the man who pays for each of the items she drops in the basket. Why can’t it be the woman toting the basket or pushing the trolley, while the man picks items from the shelves and drops them in the baskets? Is it that men are stupid, usable creature?
Another annoying example of how women continue to use men in this world is connected with western wedding, especially when the married couple goes out for photo shoot.
In all the instances that I have seen, it is the man who will lift the woman, even if the woman is bigger and heavier than the man. Oh, yes, men are usable creatures created by God for women.
So why can’t the woman be the one lifting the man when they go for the photo shoot? Why should it be the man? Why? Oh! Is it because men are considered usable creature?
And the strange part is that the idea of women using men is not restricted to only black men. Even white girls enjoy using their men, whether white men or black men. It seems all men are just usable creatures for women.
I would suggest that all newly married men begin to tell their wives to lift them when the go for photo shoot. They should not allow themselves to continuously be used by women. Let’s revise the trend. Let’s make women open house doors and car doors for men.
Let’s stop allowing ourselves to be used by women all the time. If we men don’t do anything, we will continue to be considered stupid, usable creature for women.
Anyway, my people, da how I see it-o.
