Double Standards...

Double standard by wikipedia definition is the application of different sets of principles for similar situations, or two different people in the same situation. Blog post sparked by the uproar by religious leaders to ban the 'weka condom mpangoni' advert!

After a short stint of controversy, the advert which has been sponsored by USAID and highly popularized by Classic 105's Maina Kageni was pulled down and banned. I however feel that the condemnation of the advert was uncalled for as i think all of society is trying to run away from reality. Plus it's a tad bit bias seeing as no one complained when Jimmy Gathu's advert 'wacha mpango wa kando' advert was overplayed on every local station.

 In the fight against HIV/AIDS, the advertisement of contraceptives has evolved since its inception, with latest condom ad fueling uproar from the clergy. The culprit this time is none other than the ‘Weka Condom Mpangoni’. The men of the cloth say the advert advocates for sex outside marriage, and portrays Kenyans as an unfaithful lot. The National AIDS and STI Control Programme (NASCOP) however says that what the advert portrays is real and not an exaggeration.-NTV

I think women should be given enough info, if anything at all the advert was in the least advocating for the use of condoms.Let's face facts here, no matter how many times Gathu says 'wacha mpango wa kando' for some it doesn't work that way. What choice are we left with then? Weka condom mpangoni! Don't get me wrong, I am not at all advocating for infidelity but when it comes down to it, most of our society is adulterous...yes I said it!

My next ball of contention is the man who drinks like a fish all day everyday and swear to never ever go out with a girl who drinks; What horseshit!!! I am appalled, and ask why he wouldn't date a girl who loves her drink, the pea brained idiot says because then the lady ceases to look like a responsible woman who would bear kids! 'And you dimwit? Who do you look like?' Please, save him now....I speak for the ladies who love their drink, we can drink responsibly and stop for nine months to carry your babies...cut us some slack!

Then the men can do casual dating, and no one will even say a word...In fact he will get high fives from his buddies. But when a lady says that she is casually dating, she is immediately labelled as a slut.

Men are meant to do the chase, they are predators and the female are prey. Dare you try to change the status quo and you are labelled as loose.

It's cool for men to smoke, but disgustingly ugly when a woman does it....I only quit for health reasons, but if lung cancer did not exist I'd still smoke to prove a point!

Have a Blessed Easter weekend beautiful people...xoxo!
