Of Mark X and MarkII riffraff's and Subaru Strugglers

Dear Woman,

If you only knew how it has taken the grace of God, some of us working our asses off tooth and nail to get to where we are, you would never speak of women with such mindlessness. My question is, did your Dad drive a Range Rover, Mercedes or Audi Quattro by any chance? Oh yes, thought so. Did your Mother give the poor man these standards? Thought so too. Did she ask for a German machine with each of you she conceived? Oh wow, really? I think I am an illusionist.

Now take a seat and get told by a woman who has worked even in doing odd jobs till she got to where she is which may not be enough according to you but for her it is progress and she still has her head high with dignity and pride. My first job came at 17 and so forth and so on and right now, I’m starting my MSc in Software Engineering at the age of 22, by 27 I will be a Dr cum Prof...  Before you speak for every woman, think. Before you speak and it is interpreted that all Kikuyu women are like you, debate and before you write in a wholesome interpretation of the African woman, soul search. Not all of us are as ‘ambitious’ as you. Not all of us lie waiting for the ultimate beast of a man who smells of a bank safe. Not all of us think that Subaru and Mark drivers are strugglers. First, let me bring you to the knowledge that Subaru and Mark Drivers are in their pro teens, can you imagine where they will be by their early and mid-30s? Yes they will be the German Machine fathers. (there goes my illusionist intuition again) and wait, do you think they will marry you, you who criticized them as they were making their way up the ladder, you who called them strugglers just because they only smelled of bank notes and not the safe itself? Hell no. You honey, will be alone with 27cats as you will be in your late 30s or wait, luck may have it and you’ll be someone’s clande…you never know.

And about your children, who said it is a man’s sole responsibility to cater to their needs? So your children will not eat before your so called man sneezes? You really want to borrow money for menopausal symptom drugs from a man? Wow your standards be low.

Honey, we get it, I get it. We are all entitled to our opinion and this is mine. Before you write a general article on goldigging and its benefits to you and your folklore, please think of the implications and general overview it will have on we African Women, we who have been installed morals in our original 1.0 software, we who are God-fearing and believe in being humble and hardworking, we who are taught by our fathers that independence brings respect and is sexy as hell, we who work our brains and asses off to make a better future for us and our futures.

In the meantime as you date the Mark X and Mark II riffraff’s according to your Chronicles, think of what you’ll do when your Mr. Moneybags doesn’t appear. Think of what you’ll do when he does come but years down the line something backfires and you have to cut down on the thrice a year vacations….Think Think Think

Blessings and Love,

Proud African Woman who dates Strugglers,
