I do not condone violence against women at all for the obvious reason that I have said several times. Above all my mother is a woman

I have of late realized that many people and organizations are becoming crazy about gender issues and it seems where gender issues are discussed the main thrust will be women issues. If people continue at this unprecedented rate of trying to advance women issues, it is not surprising that we will end up with negative progression.

Negative progression results as a product of over emphasis perpetrated by selfish or otherwise good reasons without proper monitoring or boundaries. In third world countries the issue of gender has resulted in disintegration of an otherwise closely knit society as women misinterpret the concept of gender equality.

Zimbabwe is one country that has gone a long way in addressing gender equality but it is nearing a point where it might soon lose focus due to over emphasis.

While there is great need to address the imbalances of nature I feel gender equality should also focus on quality rather than quantity. Equality through quantity correction can lead to quality being compromised.

One serious blander that women and policy makers do in trying to address gender is to employ the so-called affirmative action factors. This type of thinking almost destroyed the Zimbabwean woman in the education system when girls where given special preference at universities ahead of boys even with lower pass marks. This resulted in employers looking at women as some substandard graduate materials produced by universities in order to address the balance sheet.

In political circles Zimbabwe almost suffered a serious blow when women advocated for reserved seats to be solely for women to contest. This method violates the simple principle of democracy. Democracy is so blind when it comes to gender. All humans are equal and should fight on level planes.

In any given population sample there are more women than men and I strongly feel there is no serious need to put quota systems to address gender balances. The most important aspect is equality in terms of social rights and privileges not as in numbers like what many women are advocating for.

The world is not equal and that is why there are more women than men. Nature has its own way of balancing its complex equations and no mortal body can assist this delicate process.

I have been following the current Jacob Zuma rape case. For the benefit of those who do not know Zuma, he is a former South African Deputy President who was fired by Mbeki for corruption and bringing the Rainbow Nation into disrepute. In my trails of this case, one thing that I have come to realise is that some South Africans are just crazy and seem to take rape casually. I really wonder if some of the women in the crowd supporting Zuma have ever been raped in their lives.

I am a man and I advocate for women's rights because above all my mother is a woman and believe this world would be a safer place if all people would respect and look at woman as they do unto their mothers.

I am really surprised by the way some South Africans are reacting to the whole rape case. I personally do not see any reason why sane people should support a promiscuous leader worst still one who aspires to be a President of such a big nation (South Africa).

The defendant's lawyer leaves a lot to de desired. It is an insult to all woman to say 'Why didn't you scream when you were being raped'. My question to Kemp J Kemp, Zuma's lawyer is ''Have you ever been raped?

People should not intimidate women and trivialize rape issues to protect the image of a sucking devils who wants to devour any innocent pretty woman in this world.

Jacob Zuma should be ashamed and not use consent as a scapegoat to his 'behind the scene life' that has now been publicised.

To sleep with any woman who is not your wife is a sin and not expected of any married man and too bad for an aspiring Preinstall candidate.

The case here is one of an influential person raping a defenseless woman and one doesn't need common sense to realise that this woman could not do anything otherwise she would have been killed by Zuma's bodyguards.

A quote from the website News24:

Zuma's lawyer, Kemp J Kemp, was cross-examining the complainant in Johannesburg High Court on Wednesday.

He asked why she did not stop Zuma when he massaged her and forced her legs open, or why she did not tell him to stop while he allegedly was raping her.

"He could have thought you were not objecting to this whole process?" Kemp asked her during cross-examination. end Quote

A rapist is like a hungry creature that has pounced on prey and this creature give no room for the prey to get loose and escape.

South Africans should just admit that they are supporting the wrong man and that there’s no hate involved this Zuma case. I am afraid I have to say that Zuma has traits of a dictator in waiting. The following are characteristics of a dictator and please be assured I have first hand experience having been under the rule of one for quite some time.

1. A dictator will try by all means to divide people on tribal or ethnic lines and does not care how many are hurt along the line.

2. A dictator will always want to have all the good things for himself.

3. A dictator will blame someone for his failures.

4. A dictator likes crowds and will always get them at all cost even hiring.

5. A dictator wants to be untouchable.

Jacob Zuma gets 5/5 and South Africans should be careful who they praise.
