Letters | Feminism 101: Fred Khumalo consider finding healing for your anti-woman perspectives, writes Jacqueline Rainers
Brainstorming, he peered down at his member and thought about the DA women leadership. Helen Zille? Ugh no, she’s a gogo. Lindiwe Mazibuko? Oooh, yes.
The point I am making is that, any source of entertainment that my two opening paragraphs may have, is overshadowed by my uncomfortable insistence in referencing Khumalo’s appearance and his genitals. This is what stands out in Khumalo’s opinion piece. He describes Mbau’s fat lips and her cleavage, talks about how he was distracted by them when he met her at an interview.
I imagine Khumalo thought he did a good thing because he describes Mbau’s behaviour as anti-feminist. By this I mean, she acts as if she’s oblivious to the tenants of feminism, as if she’s beyond perhaps the gate-keeping practices of feminism, the “faux wokeness” that is de jour. Feminism supports any expression of femaleness that uplifts and empowers. Whether a woman decides against wearing trousers or has sex with men for money.
