I think that the education of women depends on where in Kenya one is learning, but I do think that there is more societal discrimination than educational in many cases.

This issue expands far past just gender equality into the realms of racism and other kinds of discrimination that are not necessarily seen as abnormal because they fit into tradition. I do think it is the necessity of our generation to spread the kind of knowledge and worldview that you are articulating here in order to make this forward progress possible, but it is a slow and arduous journey. I think part of the problem, just going off the above comment, is that our parents's generation holds us back in some regards, and in the issue of Feminism or Gender Equality, the kind of progress we want to see can only happen if there is no opposition to it from within the female gender. I personally think a large part of the way we accomplish things like this is through education. What is the education for women like in Kenya? Is gender equality focused on or emphasized in any way? And on that note, are there any kind of governmental provisions for equal wages or against job discrimination? Just curious. As far as things here in Sewanee, I have actually heard from women here that they believe in the separation of gender roles, and although I am not opposed to women raising children or even staying home, I am also not opposed to the opposite, and I believe that men should help out... which believe it or not is not always the belief even of some of our friends here, even with the strong emphasis on gender equality that is promoted by places like the women's center. How do we move past this kind of opposition? Maybe that's too hard of a question to answer right now, and like the above comment said, maybe it will take another century to change. I'm happy for the progress so far though and i think the future looks bright!
