Chapter 34

Mind Boggling
By Njeri Mucheru-Oyatta

Vultures are those creatures who respectfully stand aside and let the warring parties rip each other apart into shreds. Divorce lawyers are some of these vultures but the king pins of these vultures are members of either sex whose delicacy is young marriages. Petty Squabbles had just about finished off all the old marriages and their rotting corpses were not edible, even to her siblings, Vultures.

Out in the battle field, Vultures have a modus operandi that should be used in educating military forces the world over. A Vulture knows that marriage is an endangered species and those who are in it or about to get into it are TERRIFIED of it having seen what happened in the old marriages both before and after the feminism war. Women are afraid of going back to when the house housework was exclusively their territory and men are afraid of the relentless surge of women doing the housework in the office.

The problem with men is that they cannot put up a spirited fight for long. I think it is in their nature. Just like their invaluable objects that all women love cannot perform for more than a few seconds or minutes at a time without needing a break. Women on the other hand, are possessed with an apparently super human supply of energy that can make them put up a spirited fight for such a long time that by the time the men have taken their break and are ready for more, the women have gone and taken what was left to fight for. It’s also in the women’s nature. Their invaluable objects outdo men’s by far.

Because of the nature of men, the men have become demoralized and given up the fight. They decided to just let it be and accept that women’s staying power is not something they can keep up with. Men stopped fighting ages ago and settled into their new role of trying to understand what a woman wants. Despite the men’s surrender, Petty Squabbles is still alive and well. When it comes to petty squabbling, women win, hands down. Their ability to argue about meaningless gibberish for days on end, is incredible. Vultures are completely alive to this fact, after all Petty Squabbles is their big sister.

Feminism, the mother of Vultures is a very good provider for her children. She has ensured that Vultures are getting more than enough to eat as she makes sure that women continue to imagine that the men are still fighting.

What Feminism taught her Vultures is that in order to survive in this world of scarcity, the best weapon to use against your enemy is illusion. Illusion is used in the work place to ensure that employees stay employed and in politics to ensure that the poor remain poor. At the home front, feminism uses illusion to make a woman believe that her husband is her enemy. If the women stopped to think this through even at moderate level thinking, they would realize that their enemy is the Vulture. Every married woman has been attacked by a Vulture.

One of the illusion lessons taught to Vultures by their mummy is that nobody knows what love is. Nobody knows that love is acting in one’s best interests and if you want to know who loves you and who does not, all you need to do is check who is acting in your best interests and who is not.

One type of Vulture who attacks women, is the female friend who women call up to discuss about her problems with her man. All this Vulture has to do is to perpetrate the propaganda about all men being dogs and ensure that Petty Squabbles is eating well. This Vulture will be the first one to snap up the man after Petty Squabbles has succeeded in kicking him to the kerb.

The other type of Vulture is the male business man or professional who women run into while at work outside the house. All this Vulture has to do is to perpetrate the propaganda about how men are trying to hold back women, they do not trust their women and they do not think that women can take care of themselves. This Vulture knows fully well that he will not get into a feminist woman’s skirt by asking her out. He too is terrified of Petty Squabbles who is his big sister, so what he does is create the illusion necessary to make it appear as if what he is making is a business proposition. This Vulture puts women under the illusion that business can be conducted at his house, in a bar, in a hotel room, on a flight to God knows where or in a car on the way to the Masai Mara because normal business hours are just too short.

Men are at loss on how to tackle this Vulture whose tactics are so effective, the minute the man tries to reason out the working hours, he is attacked with a fury that has the same staying power as Petty Squabbles. Of course the man, being a man, knows exactly what the Vulture is after, something which the woman is unable to decipher in her relentless surge to free herself from her man, a freedom which, if she stopped for a minute to think about, is not something she really wants. The woman does not realize that her man is acting in her best interests and the Vulture has only one thing in mind. Before long, marriage or the idea of it is dead and buried.
This is the reason that my husband and I had to make the pact not to allow Feminism, her daughter Petty Squabbles and the Vultures anywhere near our marriage.
