RE: Let's talk about Women: My thoughts and a Drama.

in #story7 years ago (edited)

This is a serious movie narration.. Nice one there.

Thank God we weren't born in that generation where these things are the way to go. It wasn't funny then and those women were treated really badly. I saw a YouTube video(From TED TALKS) recently which explains that some women who are virgins, might not bleed on the occasion of their first sexual act. She explained by showing the position of the hymen and how the hymen was more of an elastic material that will only burst and bring forth blood if stretched to the maximum capacity as against the believe system those days that it's like a balloon that needs to be punctured and then serves as evidence of virginity as displayed on a white cloth.

Technology has revealed alot of truth to us and we are just the privileged ones and that is why we can share such stories as this for learning sake.

People most times condemn others for the crime they have committed. In this scenario, if sex before marriage is generally a sin, I don't know why men just assume that sin or crime is gender sensitive. The western world do not live in the cage of the thoughts that Africans still suffer from, where one gender is placed above the other and punishment is not given equally. I am one who still believes that love endures all things. Whether she is a Virgin or not, how does it add up?

It's a perspective thing and I think this generation is gradually adjusting. Ajao proved love in this story by covering her up, but in between covering up and taking a new bride, there must have been an advice or counsel from a friend he told. I pray we all learn from the mistakes of old and be better in our disposition in this generation. Thanks for sharing @mimy

Lol.......
I strongly believe that Ajao did not cover Toromade's secret because he simply loves her, but he only did it to cover his own pride/ ego (How will it be heard that he married a non-virgin?)

Of course, that's another side to the coin, he probably saw his own pride before seeing Toromade's tears and worries. Cases like this sounds interesting judging from afar. Lol.
