Women were sources of labour, vessels for sexual gratification and conduits for children. U uaself say it, ua officially title is the "worker" in your husbands home.<BR/><BR/>If this tradition is not lacking in gender bias why do we then not switch it around once in awhile and have a groom price paid? Why dont we have a group of women sit in the corner and haggle over a sum ("that does not amount to a purchase price, we value our men over any amount of goats") for ua groom to be? <BR/><BR/>Is there anything worse than a woman in love? Yeah thats right, a woman in the centre of attention. Suddenly, she will rationalise just about anything. <BR/><BR/>Very disappointed to read this blog from a Sistah, <BR/>W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16994477.post-59437625397288529752007-06-23T07:35:00.000-07:002007-06-23T07:35:00.000-07:00Excellent!Excellent!Cirdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161072165681849178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16994477.post-6324554756572327512007-06-21T05:33:00.000-07:002007-06-21T05:33:00.000-07:00very touching post! i don't know why i think I kno...very touching post! i don't know why i think I know the women in your profile pic!W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09517507396424615760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16994477.post-39154075066161726232007-05-16T10:01:00.000-07:002007-05-16T10:01:00.000-07:00very good post. it captures exactly what the meani...very good post. it captures exactly what the meaning of dowry for Agikuyu should be.3Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508099997637235715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16994477.post-27843001645477751282007-05-16T09:55:00.000-07:002007-05-16T09:55:00.000-07:00very interesting piece.
