women


If you kiss her,
you are not a gentleman
If you don't,
you are not a man 

If you praise her,
she thinks you are lying
If you don't,
you are good for nothing 

If you agree to all her likes,
you are a wimp
If you don't,
you are not understanding 

If you visit her often,
she thinks you are boring
If you don't,
she accuses you of double-crossing


if u are well dresses
she says you are a playboy
If you don't,
you are a dull boy 

If you are jealous,
she says it's bad
If you don't,
she thinks you do not love her 

If you attempt a romance,
she says you didn't respect her
If you don't,
she thinks you do not like her 

If you are a minute late,
she complains it's hard to wait
If she is late,
she says that's a girl's way 

If you visit another man,
you're not putting in "quality time"
If she is visited by another woman,
"oh it's natural, we are girls" 

If you kiss her once in a while,
she professes you are cold
If you kiss her often,
she yells that you are taking advantage 


If you stare at another woman,
she accuses you of flirting
If she is stared by other men,
she says that they are just admiring 

If you talk,
she wants you to listen
If you listen,
she wants you to talk 

In short:
So simple, yet so complex
So weak, yet so powerful
So confusing, yet so desirable
So damning, yet so wonderful... ....WOMEN!

RADIO SHOW IN TROUBLE

A radio show where men express erotic feelings for children may force the Kenyan government to crack the whip on explicit call-in sessions.

For some years, Kenya’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has expressed concern over the proliferation of “pornographic” talk shows aired at inappropriate time slots. In spite of this, the government is wary of being criticized for infringing on media rights.
However, a popular radio talk show may have gone beyond the bounds of entertainment. Maina Kageni’s weekday morning show on Classic 105 attracts big ratings because of its no-holds-barred content. Recently, a male caller confided on air of fantasies involving his own children. Many radio listeners were outraged that the sentiments were allowed over the airwaves.
Child sex abuse is becoming a grave problem in Kenya with parents identified as major culprits.
Kageni’s talk show targets the over 25 age group. Callers are encourage to discuss sexual problems such as cheating or impotence. Kageni and his side-kick Mwalimu King’ang’i have also brought out such weird sexual behavior as wife/husband swapping, sex in church among others.
Government reaction towards Maina Kageni and Classic 105 has remained muted so far. However, outrage among members of the public my force some sort of curbs on the content that is discussed in the media.
In 2007, there was a Kenya Communications Act that aimed at regulating the airing of appropriate, “culturally-sensitive” content but the bill was condemned by Kenya’s media industry as a threat to press freedom.
