Women Have A Choice Too!

 I met one of those old men borgers at the supermarket  where I  had gone to shop after work nights ago.He sounded level headed so I did not refuse to exchange numbers with him after he claimed he  found me quite interesting.

Because I went asking the people at the supermarket   why they were selling a certain brand  of cornflakes and whether it had been certified by the FDA. (Definitely  that's  how they start, they find you intriguing  or intelligent, since beautiful no longer moves us. Next thing they are pushing or trying their  luck to see if they can burst the nuts.)

Now  may I ask why men think that they own you once they buy you a drink or two? Or give you a few thousands of Ghana cedis or dollars  or pounds. Please  this phenomena  is becoming  increasingly  annoying.This man thought the next thing  that should be  happening after having a  drink is, we should be having sex.

A woman  seated at a table close to ours that same night was busy trying to  win a soul for christ  by convincing  a young woman who had admitted exchanging  sex for favours to change. I had stopped  listening to the one seated infront of me and was eavesdropping. It was the same story, men feeling  like  once they helped  a woman  out they had to be rewarded with sex.

No disrespect  to men because  I love men but this attitude  of men is getting  out of hand. A man is lending  you a hand and the next thing, he wants sex as payment.

Who says  I  can't  buy myself a drink? When you go to even have a drink alone, is when they think  you need sex. What is wrong with  our current  generation ? Can't  a woman  have some 'me' time anymore?

Unfortunately  I've met some nicely dressed ones, with good jobs who seem well-mannered  but on a  first interaction they are commanding sex out of you and want to make you feel guilty for not offering it to them. What is wrong with us?

I have stopped  responding  to  stupid. Yes,I read your text it sounds abusive or harassing I  ignore you if you are lucky. Look elsewhere .......having a woman  listen to all that madness is traumatising.

What gives a man the audacity  to think that once he has your phone number he can call or text to abuse you verbally  or  harass  you? Why should  men think that they must do women favours for sex? This madness  must stop. Some men are really painting 'men' black.

Same men pushing women  into prostitution  are  the same men calling them names. Yes, what would  you call a woman  who sleeps with every man  since you lots think every drink should end up in sex?

Dear young woman, your body is not for sale. Never! A man giving you a few cedis or buying you a drink doesn't  deserve  your body. You are fearfully  and wonderfully  made. No amount of money can buy you. Close your legs already unless that's  what you want, let no man make you feel like  you are obliged to give them your body. This nonsense  must stop!

Dear young woman, teach the men how to treat you by not responding  to this age old nonsense. Learn  to work for your  own cash and not depend on a man. Cease the day, wherever  you find  yourself, stop taking  the  abuse and harassment  from them.

Dear men,not every  woman wants to have sex with you. Not every  woman  wants a favour  so they can  pay back with sex. This madness  must stop. Stop abusing  women, stop harassing  women, women have a choice too!





My apologies  if this hit on men or sounded a bit harsh but women have a choice too. Remember I love men!

  1. Apt! Beautifully written. If only all women will generally rise up and repel such attitude from such men. But the problem too is that, some women are already in the game of offering themselves to men for these favours you're alluding to. So these men also have the mindset that, once u accept stuff from them, it shouldn't be a 'free lunch'. Actually some women even go round scavenging for such men for material things. Accepting a cup of coffee from a guy and even receiving some few cedis is normal but when u accept very huge gifts from a guy who hasn't genuinely shown seriousness and interest in u, then am not sure u can complain when he comes demanding for sex. I believe ladies should be able to say No to certain favours from men just to be free from this 'hustle'. I believe if that is done, these men will also advise themselves and refrain from such 'imbelicilties' 🙂

  2. 🤔 Hmmmmmmm

    Is this why some girls I use to be so cool with, are now behaving strangly to me when I do favours for them.

    I spoke to one SHS graduate after church today and asked why she's behaving like that, she said she doesn't know what I'm talking about so I left the issue, I felt a little bad and told another friend, the perception of ladies nowadays really put me off.

    Like you rightly said, *women have a choice*
    … so come with a clear intention, knowing what ur/the limits are.

    Thanks for sharing dear
