Penis/Power

PENIS/POWER


 

What could Woods, Edwards, Kahn and Schwarzeneger (to name a few) tell us about penises and power? That as long as a man has a penis and some power, he is likely to cheat on his spouse. It also tells us that penises like swords are often wielded as weapons in acts of violence against women. This view appears narrow but for many women, it is a thought that crosses our minds whenever we hear of cases like this, especially if you are a woman who has been cheated on. I am sickened by the two cases (so far) this week of powerful men who have raped, fathered a child outside of marriage and disrespected their wives in a way no woman ever wants to be disrespected.

Powerful men and their out of control penises pisses me off. What gives them the right to rape and cheat? Last week I was most pissed as I read the American Journal of Public Health report that stated 1,152 women in the DR Congo are raped daily. That is 48 women raped every hour- how, why, how dare you? I believe violence against one woman is violence against all women and because those sisters are poor, may be uneducated and live in a land far away, they are women, they are sisters and I feel their pain.

Back to the men who cheat. Where do we go as wives, girlfriends or single women hoping for a partner? Fairy tales, our mothers and society says we should seek the men who can provide for their families and be our heroes, therefore, the more powerful a man is the more attractive he appears to most women. Deep down inside most women still want a man who can take care of his family, defend us, hold us up when we feel like we are falling and ensure the protection and security of his household. The men who are most successful at fulfilling the economic and social roles we ascribe to them are also viewed as powerful men. So if powerful men are prone to infidelity, where are we? Do we settle for power and emotional insecurity or…

…Do we marry a wimp? That is the opposite of power, right? Jimmy Soul says:

If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.



I SAY:

If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a powerful man your husband,
So from my personal point of view,
Get a wimpy man to marry you.
 

To Maria and all the heartbroken sisters- Be Strong!!


Your comments are welcome.

P.S. I know women cheat too and provide “jackets” for their husbands, so please do not remind me.

Traditional Jamaican Medicines- The Guinea-Hen Weed

UPDATED: October 24, 2015-  My Testimony  Last year I decided that for my 40 something birthday I would gift myself a mammogram. It was my first time and it was an uncomfortable experience. A couple of days after the screening I received a call from the Dr., she told me that there was a small spot on my breast that they will need to a second mammogram to determine what it could be. She assured me that it could be nothing and I should not panic. Well, I was concerned and decided that for the next 7 days to the 2nd appointment I would take a shot glass full of the Guinea hen weed (GHW) that I have been soaking in a corner for a few months. My mother had set the bottle up for me but I never really paid it much attention. I knew what people said GHW was good for and if there was ever a time to "test" it that time was now. After a week of GHW consumption I returned to the clinic for my follow up appointment. Needless to say, the results came back clean. I know there were many p

Delicious Bitterness!

Cooking with Bitter Melon ( Momordica Charantia) One of my favorite TV show is the Food Network's "Chopped". The basket intrigues me and the chefs' response to a challenging basket and a ticking clock is nothing short of dramatic. On one episode the chefs were challenged with the Bitter Melon, an ingredient I grew up knowing as "Foo Gaw". The Bitter Melon is from the same family as the Jamaican herbal tea Cerasee and has an equally acerbic taste as the dreaded tea that we would have to drink whenever we had a bellyache or needed some form of "washout".  Anyway, back to "Chopped", the Bitter Melon bowled over a few of the chefs who had no idea how to cook it. One chef just sliced it up and put it in a salad, I felt sorry for the judges who would have to taste that because I am all too familiar with its taste. Needless to say, that episode brought back memories of my father and his love for the bitter melon and how much that influence

What to do with all those HOT Peppers!

My love affair with hot peppers is no secret. I have written about it and I have been subject to many "cuss off" because I use too much when I cook. Recently, we acquired the Chocolate Scotch Bonnet plant and the tree has been bearing out of control. Below is my mostly unedited video on how to quickly use excess hot peppers. Below is my original blog post about my lover. ENJOY and your comments are welcome. UPDATE: I now have a chocolate habanero plant and I must admit that it is very very HOT! NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! Originally Posted: May 2, 2011 My recent Lenten sacrifice had me thinking about the things that I would and would not give up for any period of time. I mentioned chocolate in my previous post, the other would be hot peppers, raw, not processed, just sliced and devoured. At least 1-2 fruits a day, on everything. Yes, I love my peppers and Scotch Bonnets are my favorites. We had one plant that perished in the cold spell, so for a few
