Happy New Year to you and your family, Twenty Twenty Fight is upon us. Many learners are traveling from their holidays back home. We wish you a safe travel.
Unfortunately, other learners are being discharged from the hospital as new moms, others come back from December pregnant. We can argue about who must do what and when, but we have a serious teen pregnancy problem. Every year we produce a generation that is without fathers because these boys just wanted to fulfill their sexual desires, a child was never a thought. He walks away satisfied, she remains with a child.
This is why in rural communities they keep a tight leash on a girl child, while in the townships and urban areas it is not the case.
While many people will attack and dismiss the idea of looking after a girl child as oppressive to women, it produces many positive results for any society and is not oppressive but helps protect a girl child. The question may be what about the boys? That is a fair question. The boys are simple, they are sexually wired and driven, and you can talk with them that works until he is in a situation where his little head takes over the thinking, and then the big head closes shop. Therefore boys need to be occupied with physical activities such as cleaning the yard, fixing a structure, and so on. In today’s day and age that is difficult because social media occupies their time, with no male figures at home to enforce other responsibilities.
The social media influence which has extreme sexual content provokes the hunter in the boy, but now he is not hunting for the right reasons. His hunting is unguided and plain down stupid, add the limited thinking capacity to that, and you get a disaster waiting to happen.
It is different with the girls. They are not as sexually driven and wired as the boys, but rather emotionally driven which can be misinterpreted as a sexual drive.
When the two meet there is only one of them with enough ammunition to not engage in sex, but because emotions drive her, she ends up engaging. In the end, her dignity and emotions are ruined and to make matters worse, she falls pregnant. He walks away satisfied and emotionally unavailable, ready for the next body count.
Therefore a tight leash on a girl child makes sense in controlling teen pregnancy, it is protection, not oppression.
In the old days, a boy paid damages, dropped out of school to find work so that they look after the child, and had to take the girl as his wife. I believe that needs to be made into law. Anyone impregnating a school child has to foot the bill and assume all responsibilities or go to jail. I know there is statutory rape but that has to do with age.
Boys understand pain, at the moment there is no pain for them, they can enjoy sex, and impregnate as many girls as possible with no consequences. Girls need to learn to close their legs also. It used to be such a big deal for a girl to open her legs, today it is a celebrated lifestyle. The results are there for all to see, Teen Pregnancy is on a high.
