  The one thing flawed about the conclusion(s) presented in the Sex, Power and the Fight against Corruption in Ghana posted piece is with extrapolation without context and environment/society; culture matters in every study. And below is why:
  
  Women since dawn, by design or accidental, have enabled men. This is even more so pronounced in cultures where laws that regulate conduct have built-in preferences based on race/tribe, religion or social associations. In the civilized industrialized nations of Europe and the Americas men thrived but on the backs of minority groups and poor, men or women but more so on men. In the Americas it was the abuse and misuse of men for their labor and with women more so for sexual gratification of the rich and powerful. But what do most of those men have in common? They have spouses and or partners of same or similar race and creed who while mistreated by the men enabled their husbands/significant others and boys to abuse other minorities in society just as long as they, the women, are relatively enjoy better things life has to offer than the poor and dehumanized minority groups. Men in Ghana took a cue from those behaviors learned and taught and our women did become enablers.
  
  Are most of the corrupt men in Ghana since time not had spouses and or children? They do and what morals have we seen from the women who sleep in their beds? If anything, men in Ghana should be given credit for safeguarding women into being secured in the few jobs they occupy but for which the fear of losing out to men have kept them honest. Every corrupt man out here has a woman in the household who knows how much the men of the house bring in but live beyond those legally earned wages/salary because of bribery and corruption; the women do enjoy as much of the fruits of corruption by their men without a care or moral outrage.

  This is actually a great piece of work you did, Kudos. But my problem is how the majority of Ghanaians would know the good information you've given here. Are we actually reading to know and understand more from pple like you?I think this is a great article and if majority of citizens can assess this ,it will make a great impact.
