Maverick Aoko is trending at number 1 on twitter and Google search. I read her messages and shed a few tears. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a happy ending.
Dear Ms. Aooko,
Welcome to the world of women. The wonderful world where nobody is beyond redemption. NOBODY!!!
So you slept with a politician in a restroom, so what? You slept with another black guy with a muanya so what? In a world of double standards, a married man who swore before God to forsake all others is never held accountable for his philandering. It’s always the woman to blame because we live in a patriarchal society. Women are the universal scapegoats and men get away with murder.
When we who you call femanazis are vocal about the heel of the patriarchy on the neck of women as a collective, you saw us as evil, bitter and rebellious women.
Well, you were a good submissive woman. You bought gin and tonic and invited men to your bed sitter and you were a defender of men’s superiority. How did that work out for you???
Once upon a time when I hadn’t lived long enough to understand that if you see someone on a certain path, they’re doing the best they can with what they have now.
I read that you attempted suicide. I have lost someone through suicide. All those people who call you a hoe for sleeping with politicians don’t give a damn about you but I know that there’s people who love you so much that if you killed yourself they’d be broken for ever. Suicide doesn’t take the pain away, it gives it to the people who love you.
Men pit women against each other, it’s a power move. You took the bait. Now it is the same men who once praised you who are crucifying you. That is the cut throat world of men. You couldn’t run with the wolves.
Look at the messages you have received women you insulted and shamed are embracing you and encouraging you and reminding you that there’s nothing wrong with being a Maverick, we, women will love you anyway. How can we not love you yet we love our children who are in jail or on drugs. We who love the worst of men. How can we have no place for you in our arms and in our hearts.
Baby girl, we have all made mistakes and God gives us a new slate every morning we get up to get it right and learn from our mistakes. To grow BECAUSE of our mistakes and to have empathy for others who make mistakes and make fools of themselves.
I’d like to tell you something I have learnt with age, as a woman you have too much to grapple with to fight anyone least of all, women. I have friends who are single, married, divorced,who are single parents, who are widowed and who are moslems and Hindu and atheists. I wouldn’t even judge you if you were a sex worker or a lesbian. I never pass up a chance for connecting with a woman.
The past it was said, is a bucket of ashes. Regret and guilt are useless emotions. Those two statements have tided me through alot. That and Jesus. He’s the ultimate Captain save a whore. Or save a silly woman whatever label you have. That is the epitome of no judgment. The more baggage you have, the better when it comes to Jesus. You are in good hands sis. Godspeed.
