So the upholders of justice went ahead and pushed for it, the crusaders of balance called for balance, the lovers of empowerment called for power to be given to the marginalized... Placards filled our streets, the news filled our houses, the Civil society had found a new Agenda to push and make a financial kill out of, the governments found themselves incorporating legislation's in support of the dear cause...
And the conservatives warned against it, some religions found it unacceptable, some governments opposed it, communities tugged over the issue... But the pressure was too much, and the weak gradually gained power, they now had a voice, they were well equipped and Balance was achieved...
Then there was a problem, no one showed them how to use the power, all they had known was that they had no power like their counterparts and they had to fight for it. No one showed them how to manage their voice, all they had been told was that they were voiceless and they needed a voice for equality to be achieved. No one showed them how to strike a balance, a balance between them and the other gender!
So there emerged a tug of war between the genders, they both had powers in equal amounts. Intolerance became the order of the day. and vengeance grew, and there roles were now exchanged. The powerful were now powerless, the voice had been taken away from them,the men faced the women wrath, FIDA had it counterpart MIDA aka Maendeleo ya Wanaume... !
