A South African man has been sentenced to 100 years in jail, for several offenses committed against humanity over the years before his eventual arrest. 32 years old Nkosinathi Mthembu alias Manshaplani received five terms for rapes, sexual assaults, robbery, theft, housebreaking and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, News 24 reported. The rapes he committed between March 2014 and December 2015 led to his arrest and revelation of other crimes.
The report says that Mthembu would deliberately waited for his targets or descend on them while they were asleep. He was said to have pointedly targeted homes where there were no men in habitation. What this aptly reminds readers is the role that the man plays in human society as protector and defender of the woman as in the beginning and the changes that had taken place that has made many women to live without their protectors and defenders and the consequent exposure of many women to the danger of sexual offenders.
Is it not true that no man can be insane to enter into a man's house and sexually abuse the woman? But when there is no man in a house or the man is away, the woman becomes a target for the mad men on the street. Imagine the news in New York sometime ago,when a Pizza delivery guy went into a home and sexually abused a woman who was home alone with her child in Manhattan. Observers have said at the time that if a man was in the house, the Pizza delivery guy would have dared what he did to the woman, unless he wanted the man in the house to end his life.
Once upon a time, a man was created and he had no woman to call anything, according to the scripture and legends. Eventually, the creator saw that it was not well for a man to be alone without a helper and he created a woman from a bone in the man's body and made the woman to be a helper to the man. And the man called the woman his wife.
But something happened between the man and the woman that made it impossible to know whether the woman was the helper to the man or the man was the helper to the woman, because the woman sought the man's help for them to ignore instructions about how they should live their lives and their lives spiraled into unmanageable proportion. However, modern human existence seems to be pointing to the fact that the man is the leader and the woman is the helper.
In many societies, the men go out to work and the woman stays home to take care of the home and the children. But in modern and civilized societies, these responsibilities are being shared. There are women who work and the men stay home taking care of the home and children. Some men still argue that it should be the other way and that in a state of helplessness and lack of livelihood would make a man assume the role of a housekeeper. Gonzalez says that it is old news that men work and women stays home. But women are now in the working class and men are the home bodies.
He argues that many women are independent, the time changes and many men are now in subordinate position to the woman and rather than be the queen, many women are now kings. Is not there abnormality in the definition of a king as a woman and the man as the queen? Should not it be the other way round?
