THE AFRICAN SAGE

The third gender rule has become an elephant that needs to be moved to create room for other developmental agenda. In the recent past, there has been heated debate on whether the implementation of the “a third gender rule” as stipulated in the constitution, in relation to political leadership, should be suspended indefinitely or not. Feminists have done well, they have demonstrated beyond doubt that gender inequalities exist. The radical feminists help us appreciate the need for out of the box measures in tackling patriarchal tendencies. Marxist feminists help us appreciate the uncompensated role of women in the economic system. The black feminists have illustrated how ethnicity creates differentials in women exploitation across the world. I love liberal feminists because in their solution to the exploitation of women, they help us appreciate the salient evolutionary nature of social change. Post modern thinkers do not buy into grand theorizing and associated generalizations
