BATTLE OF THE SEXES

Sir, 

Excuse my language, the topic on its own may be viewed sensitive from an initial glance, but it is artistic and astonishing for those enthusiastic readers and those who are constantly taking on a mental and moral challenge, seeking for societal dialogue which is stimulating, at most intellectual and at its far ends mind-blowing casting into deep open-mindedness. 

The concept of the overpriced sexes speaks to a lot of things. 

At first glance, it is explicit but as one ponders deeply at it, it is a beautiful weapon. 

It is a double-edged sword that splits our reasoning of gender, gender roles, aggression and violence into two distinct yet identical parts. 

On one hand the overpriced sex exposes the male gender and theetiology (cause) of men’s entitlement and the eventual consequences of this entitlement. 

On the other hand, it exposes women’s entitlement, its possible etiologies and the evident consequences of such entitlement.

Men’s entitlement

Men especially African men are a very interesting subject of study under the concept of the sexual organs. 

Men by virtue of being males and their possession of the male sex organs are given certain privileges in our society that even go beyond those of women. 

Men by birth and virtue are deemed executives, leaders and authorities. 

In these changing times where women are gaining more control of their lives, men are becoming more and more inferior. 

The values that constitute manhood are diminishing and those recognised are simply materialistic.  

A man now is defined by a materialistic virtue not a personality or moral stance. 

As men’s entitlement is weakening, his idea of coping with this is through destructiveness and aggression. 

Men are submerged into addictions and violence (gender-based violence, killings, violence against children). 

Trying to maintain his statue, men are realising their overpriced state, that there is nothing like a born leader or executive. Real men are made not born.  

Women’s entitlement

Women as cruel and dehumanising their subjectivity to men’s entitlement,  still feel a need to maintain their own entitlement that comes with beauty and their possession of their sex. 

Most beautiful women still view their relevance in terms of inborn beauty and sex appeal. 

Without realising the toxicity of this, women’s roles and entitlement that comes with beauty are inferiorised to only decorators, flowers or trophies for rich men (ownership of women and their bodies by men). 

Women are therefore viewed not in their true capacity or capabilities but are given beauty as a means of trade or upliftment. 

Women are capable of many things and their competence even outweighs those possessed by most men. 

Their sex therefore now exposes women’s beauty as entitlement but also beauty standards as means to subject women to broader socioeconomic inferiority. 

Intersection

The intersection of women’s body parts or entitlement and men’s entitlement is where violence and aggression can be sourced. 

Women’s entitlement through beauty belittles poor men hence amounting to their aggression, while men’s entitlement kills broader society by inferiorising women’s true capabilities and functions which results to lesser socioeconomic output. 

The eventual cause of society’s problems then is the overpriced state of both men and women and their entitlements which are largely based on biological predispositions. 

The interactions of these sexes are then evident through inequality and unfairness.
