Jamaica

High on Jamaican patriarchy

Are there any Jamaican in da houze? Because Sydney McGill from Jamaica Gleaner News - Parenting girls to be good wives - Wednesday | March 29, 2006 needs to get a good whooping upside the head :

RAISING GIRLS to be good mothers and wives is quite a tricky thing if you do not have a good man in the house. On the bright side, daughters learn home economics from their mothers. Mothers teach what they know: how to cook, clean, wash, spread beds and personal hygiene. But mothers' obsession with a good education for her daughters seem even more important than homemaking skills.

The article is a not-so-maskede jab at women who spread their negative views of men upon their daughters, much like an infection.

Geezus!

"My ancestors are probably longer in this country than many Europeans who don't call themselves European-Americans. Why would I want to identify with Africa?" he said.
