You say I say

-“Earlier this week, a woman in Umlazi township, near Durban, South Africa, was stripped naked and her shack burnt down.
Men in the township are demanding that all women wear skirts or dresses.
South Africa's Gender and Equality Commission told the BBC that this was the first time something like this had happened in the country.
Correspondents say men in conservative rural communities in southern Africa sometimes harass women for wearing trousers and short skirts.
"It is extreme …””
Isn’t it funny. The men thought that women wearing trousers or short skirts is extreme. And I am sure that it is not just about what the women wear.
-“The incident happened in an area of Umlazi called T section which is a hostelry for men.
"Only men are supposed to stay there - emanating from the apartheid era when people were segregated in terms of areas.
"It's a place where men live from the rural areas so that they can be nearer their work environment."
According to South Africa's Mercury paper, after this a community meeting decided to ban women in the area wearing trousers.”
There was an article just the other day about men’s garages in Russia. The men in the community, it seems, build garages at quite some distance from their apartments and use them as their get away. The women said it was almost like a secret society. The ‘mystified’ women couldn’t seem to understand. People do segregate all the time – kids are quite thoroughly segregated from each other at school – everyone in the city builds a tall fence around “their” yard – and so on and on ……..
- “Social anthropologist Prof Anand Singh told the paper the incident was a conflict of values.
"If one looks at South African societies, they are all patriarchal and it is difficult for people who assume authoritative roles in homes to adjust to women assuming their own roles and status within society," he said.”
What is a woman’s role and status ? They ARE equal to and able to do any job that a man can do, does that therefore mean that they should they wear the same clothing ? ? Wonder of wonders men and women ARE different.
