So this issue of boy meets girl but I guess in this new age of gender sensitivity its boy/girl meets girl/boy…not to be misinterpreted as girl meets girl…atleast not in what am referring to…I have felt for years that the scale was tipped , first by what I like to refer to traditional history, the only diff btw our African history is that we were too arrogant to write but they did…2nd by language and choice of translation, I feel that when the translators failed to find a fulfilling word to fit they chose a masculine word justifying it by it runs both ways …yeah right! This is a concept I hope to persue in detail with time, and as I gain knowledge on what is known then I can begin to shine light on the unknown, the sad part is , the unknown isn’t always hidden,
u 4got the bible with references such as
ReplyDelete'man shall not live on bread alone'
and that time jesus fed the 5000 the women and children were not included in the count!
i hear u shiru, that is an issue that can never really go away, there is always blame on the translation from the original language to latin to blah blah then to english, so am at a loss as u are. but yeah such references shd be corrected! dont pple realise that there is no other source of life but through children born of women...its like an ostrich hidding its head and hoping no one notices it there...!!
