Countrymen and women, ?against? people and loyal praise singers,
what do you think about the domestic violence bill? I have been following the debate on this bill for quite a while and I must honestly say that I don?t understand why it has generated so much controversy. I am baffled by utterances of those who oppose the bill. I must say that as one of the few male feminists on earth I support the bill wholeheartedly ? but not because it will strengthen the feminist cause. The bill will be passed for both men and women, young and old.

I hope that it is passed soon, for I know it is the road map to peace in hundreds of Ghanaian homes which have been turned into war zones. The campaign to get the bill passed should not be waged by feminists alone. I don?t really like the idea of feminists leading the campaign for the bill to be passed. You see, quite a number of people think that feminists are lonely, very depressed opponents of male chauvinism who only find fulfillment in fighting to end the male domination of the world. Africans in general and Ghanaians in particular, think that feminists are non-conformist who delight in breaking cultural norms and principles.
