In the view of many, women have been largely undermined not only in the language habit but also in the social and political processes that define the totality of human experience in our society.
Modern sexists have argued that there are unjust reference and treatment of the male genders over their inferior female counterparts. But in all sincerity, not only can women be War Onto Men, but women can also be substances of repute in their community.
On Monday, 1st March 2021, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala resumed duty as the new Director-general of the World Trade Organization having served in an administrative capacity at different national, regional, and international offices including as the Minister of Finance under Dr. Godluck Ebele Jonathan between 2007 and 2011.
The aphorism, “women’s office is at the kitchen” has been pressed and justified by our submission in this content. The power of women in the kitchen can never be debased reason being that what a man can do well in the cooking room, any woman regardless of age can do better. This is to say that our women are the most powerful in the kitchen just as God is the most powerful in heaven.
From Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, Melinda Gates, Co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to the CEO of General Motors, Mary Barra, these “women of power” are not only queens at the kitchen which they get entitled to because of their gender, but they are also women of power in the economic cum political sphere.
Only The Maker has the power of “be and it is” but He dissolved this power for women which is the power of “make and be made”. Women have the superpower of making men vulnerable by deciding the rhythm of every love life. No matter how keen a man is to settle down with a woman, the union can only work if the lady wishes. The woman also has the authority to give up the relationships no matter how strong the bonds may seem.
Othello according to Shakespeare was melted on hearing that his wife, Desdemona was having extra affairs which did not only took his life but also ruined his spirit. This is to say that no serious human should undervalue the weight of women in the psyche and mental state of every man.
However, Noble said, “ all of you are Sheperds and you will all be asked how you managed your herd”. The power of women is the strongest after intelligence quotient, therefore, our women are expected to be cautious and careful during the course of utilizing and marginalising their power, because power is transient.
