It’s insane when women in decision making lack phylogeny: criminalisation of womanhood - Misogyny in Zambia
When it comes to Gender Based Violence, Some Women in office are as useless as they should never be appointed for that role, and the only thing they know and do is degrade even further women rights and freedom. Unless I am convinced differently, to me this case where a female Supreme Court Judge urges police officers to arrest indecently dressed women, as a way to combat violence against women? It’s a clear demonstration of an office appointment by the influential Zambian rapist supporters lobby group.
Why are Judge Royda Kaoma and Kitwe Nkana East police chief inspector Anne Mazila promoting this hatred or dislike of women or girls? It’s sad to see a woman so infected with misogyny and its sad that this Zambian daughter, mother, sister, auntie now turned into chief justice is infected with discrimination against women she inflicting further pain... since when clothing define morals or dressing is an invitation to be raped... sad that backward persons like this would be a woman and educated to hosts a prestigious position like her..., would she (Judge Royda Kaoma) be happy is the other women issued a directive to arrest anyone with a bigger belly like her husband on presumption that they are thief?
Misogyny of Judge Royda Kaoma is manifested by her judgement about the source of gender based violence in Zambia sprouting from dressing code for her to push for further ways of women discrimination through police arrest. What does Judge Royda Kaoma think that the police will do to the women and girls they arrest? Buy them appropriate cloths? Her orders will push further women discrimination, including sexual discrimination, denigration of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification of women in Zambia, nothing else. Her orders are a blank cheque for rapists and criminalisation of women by their dressing only, dress does not define moral … Judge Royda Kaoma misogyny has pushed back in history women empowerment achieved in recent history of Zambia to features that characterised ancient Zambia as well as various religions oppression of women. Judge Royda Kaoma helped Zambia in achieving a misogynistic country in southern Africa… it’s hard to understand why Judge Royda Kaoma as a woman do not suffer from misandry, the hatred or dislike of men, instead of lacking the love or fondness of women.
Is Judge Royda Kaoma the kind of gal who thinks she only feels truly comfortable in the company of men? Does Judge Royda Kaoma and to certain extend Kitwe Nkana East police chief inspector Anne Mazila feel that other Zambian women, just because of dressing code, are catty, mean spirited, competitive or air-headed even, and that they have nothing in common with any of them?
Whether they (Judge Royda Kaoma and to certain extend police chief inspector Anne Mazila ) have feelings of apathy, disdain or truly despise other women, hating their fellow gender is simply no good - it'll cut off many opportunities for good, understanding friendships and for healthy social policy changes for women in general. If the Judge Royda Kaoma and police chief inspector Anne Mazila of this world investing a lot of time to avoid gal pals, making do with men alone as friends and shooting down the foibles of their own gender, criminalising women just for being women, then it's time to force them out of the office… force them to take a break and readjust…. Instead of putting all their energy into shooting daggers at other women because of their dressing, Judge Royda Kaoma and police chief inspector Anne Mazila of this world should learn to accept other women will open up new insights for them and maybe they would even contribute in making or bringing about change in the lives of few women.
