I stumbled upon this article in this kablog, and the hate that was being spewed on this old mama is just too much. Below is the article and the link to the blog is

[SIZE=6]Petition to get Bi Mswafari off our TV screens!!![/SIZE]
I am seething inside. The sort of anger that makes a bull charge when he sees the matador waving a red flag.
Why do Kenyans allow such atrocities on TV? Week after week they sit, glued to their TV screens ready to watch the âre-known marriage counsellor,â according to her facebook page.
Re-known? We can work with that. But marriage counsellor? Come on! She is more off a flag bearer for male chauvinism in Kenya. I like to think there is more to marriage than a manâs ego and self-importance. Her page goes on to say she is internationally recognized! Wait a minute, you mean the international community also tunes in to watch this?!
There is also a page of 4224 men as at now who agree with her views. The page states thus
âRecently, there is a TV program that has come to
the rescue of men against the modern lady. She
gives a motherly advice on how ladies should handle
their men, husbands and fiancĂ©sâ.
I donât know whether to cry for Kenyan men or laugh so hard that the devil will hear me. So, women need a manual on how to treat men but men donât need one on how to treat women? Why does the modern woman scare the modern man so much? Unless of course there are no modern men.
Are our men so stuck in the past they donât see that society is changing?!
For those who donât know who she is (highly doubtful since she has an international audience) she comes on Citizen TV every Saturday, a few seconds after the 7:00 pm news. They decided to add a male chauvinist in the mix. It doesnât get any better than that!
I donât care about the adults watching this atrocity, they are probably chauvinistic and disempowered people anyway. I am worried about the kids forced to watch this thing. Saturdays are those days our kids can stay up late watching anything and everything that comes on TV. So you will forgive me for hating this program with every fibre of my being.
Someone pointed out that Kenyan media dumps information down to fit the majority of the public. Well, Citizen TV has done quite a good job of doing just that with this program.
This woman is Poison to our children! To Mary, the top student in Newlight academy. Probably a child with thick glasses whose dream is to work hard pass her exams and become a doctor. Bi. Mswafari is saying, âMary, you need to cater to you husband day and night. Your husband comes first. So yes you will work twenty-hour shifts but make sure when your husband gets home, you greet him at the door with a curtsey, find out how his day was and then feed him properly.â So on hearing this Mary will realize that marriage is probably not for her.
To Joseph she is saying, study hard get a job, it doesnât have to be a well-paying job because people have to understand your lack of ambition. When you have your job you can take a pick at your own personal slave. Be careful not to get someone like Mary who will have a decent conversation with you about life and death. No. Find a woman who makes you feel like a king; who takes your wish to be her command. A woman who will have enough time to come home before you and prepare a meal fit for a king while you put your legs up and watch TV. While doing this profess to the world that there is nothing like an obedient wife who when you say jump, will ask âhow high master?â Donât even worry about things likempango wa kandoand rape, your wife should understand when you do all these things. After all, what do women expect you to do when they wear skimpy dresses and they know you donât have self-control. Donât even worry about HIV and AIDS you will sort it out with your wife when it happens.
Letâs talk about that rape issue for a second. I need to point out that there is never an excuse for rape! If there were we wouldnât have 2-month-old babies being raped!!! So no, women donât need prayers men need to be taught restraint.
This woman is the worst person to preach empowerment to our children. Empowerment is not only for the girl child. A boy child should also be empowered so as not to feel inferior when in the presence of the modern day woman. What we need to realize is that there are houses in this day and age where the women have taken up male roles. Because society is fluid like that. Donât let someone like Bi Mswafari lie to you that everything is as it was 30 years ago.
How do you condone such a woman talking to your daughter about living her life to please her husband? After watching this why do you pay school fees for that particular girl? Why not just keep her at home and show her how to please a husband at home? It will save you school fees and prevent her from calling herself a modern day woman or as Bi Mswafari calls them, âWasomiâ.What did âwasomiâ ever do to this woman? Do they look down on her? Does she even have a daughter? I will fly off the bat here and speculate that she doesnât have a daughter. I also think she hates her daughter-in-law if she has one.
Even my mum disagrees with her viewpoint.
Either citizen T.V should get this woman out of our living rooms and off our screens (very unlikely so Iâll hold up on the forms ) or balance her obvious bile with a humanitarian person in the panel! Cera Njagi anyone?
We are saying no to slavery!
What are your views concerning this whole petition ladies and gentlemen?
