putting feminism as one of the evils we need to get rid of is sooo ignorant. why are some african men so treathen by their women or by women period. grow up!
Kassama I thought we are trying to mend Gambia's political issues and problems of diversity in Gambian context. We are all Gambians is a calling or appeal to all Gambians to do a proper housekeeping for themselves and attempt to addressed the underlying complex political issues thereof. That's just a food of thought for Gambians and we welcome anyone's support in its debates. You appear to have mis-interpret its context and should not be considered an insult; am afraid! |
