Weapons of mass deception!


You would think woman will stick together and stand up to fellow woman oppression instead I’m afraid this is rather the contrary. One day I will have to explain this to my sister and daughter how we sell our sisters’ souls to the very enemy. We trade them off for what I can’t really care to discuss.

As woman we love to exude that we have each other’s backs but we don’t. The fuel of this debacle is what I refer to as weapons of mass deception, men, that we constantly want to claim as our very own. Ever heard a woman, that’s not married mind you, using the term ‘my man’ almost like a lioness marking her territory, and the Lion looking at her without a care because it is not her role to be playing. Owning a person is slavery really.  However I experienced something once where this woman failed to confront me about her lack of approval of me asking her questions of her acquaintance with a gentleman we both happened to know.

Now let’s remove the fact that this guy friend of mine defended her solid because that’s another debate, why did she fail to approach me about it? Does this not show that the sisterhood pact goes out the window the minute a male counterpart enters the subject of debate. Please let me make it clear that I am not talking about a teenage woman but rather a grown woman. Whatever she said to my friend it got him jumping to her defence. She on the other hand has tarnished her first impression she made to me. Knowing myself very well I know that as I type this I no longer hold any resentment but rather I feel sorry for what other woman might go through. What my daughter, that I have yet to conceive one day, will have to go through shocks me.

The war continues and we will be easily deceived because we ourselves have no backbones .We are highly insecure, sadly as a gender. I pray my daughter will never take this lying down because I for one sure didn’t and my guy friend knows this to be true.

Greys anatomy season nine awaits me


I must say Shonda Rhimes and her crew had us going. Firstly reading the comments about season eight episode 24 and how Lexie (Chyler Leigh) leaves the show has left a bitter taste in my mouth.

The characters are at a cross roads after their medical board exams. With some people getting lucrative job opportunities, and others receiving leads for jobs this leaves the viewer anticipating anything but nothing can prepare you for episode 24. Others have to make hard decisions with partners or spouses. Of course the writers had to include a web of relationships, sex and money but the drama leaves many gasping. What we don’t anticipate is the death of prime character Lexie (Chyler Leigh) and the transpiring of a fatal accident. This accident mind you yet again proves how great Dr.Yang is in tough situations, ash she so clearly say “I don’t want to die”. But will Dr Hunt fight to keep her after firing the head of cardiac surgery and estranged friend Teddy.

An emotional and intense ending to what looked like a revamping of Greys Mercy West Hospital. As a huge fan, I'm proud of Rhimes and her team.
