"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.
“”“Being a ‘man’ depends on where you work and how much you earn. With money, you can hire a security firm to protect your wife at night and employ men older than your father who will stand up when you walk into a room and call you ‘sir’. You can sleep with someone’s wife, but the hapless husband won’t do anything because you have more money than him. You, therefore, cannot come home broke in the middle of the month and expect your wife to shower you with kisses — if at all you can rise to the occasion without money!” sneers the old man….But Berverlyne Amolo, a married mother of three, says women only want to feel protected and taken care of. “A man carrying a spear and shield to protect me and my children from wild animals isn’t what I need today. The only protection I need is against poverty. So my man’s shield had better be his bank balance and his spear, an income,” says Beverlyne.””
