Ever since a woman was undressed by touts at the Embassava stage who
claimed that she was dressed indecently, Blogger Robert Alai has been
receiving the wrath of Tweeps online who feel the act was inhumane and
atrocious.WHY?
Well, Alai went ahead to allegedly declare on social media that he was pro-undressing "indecently clad women" saying that he would indulge in the act himself or even pay for someone to be stripped.
According to him, These women want to "walk nude" and should not "complain when you are helped to get nude, FAST."
"You can not dress skimpily. People have feelings and opinions. They will give it. Whether you like it or not. You dress indecently, you will be embarassed. SIMPLE and DIRECT. Look for attention but it will happen. Rid it by dressing decently," declared Alai in a series of tweets.
Perhaps moved by the weight of his words, Adelle tweeted, " My God! Robert Alai has lost it- this man has NO respect for women NONE!" and it was then that Alai resorted to calling her 'taka taka'(which means trash in Swahili) and alleging that she was riding on her Late mother's success as an activist.
"That taka taka calles Adelle believes that because her mother was an activist, she can use anything to launch a career in activism. SMDikH!!" Alai exclaimed in his tweet.
Most expected that a Tweef would explode at this point but Adelle resorted to a more subtle way of settling the score by turning the whole thing into a compliment.
She wrote, "This was sent to me and my first reaction was laughter. Yes my late mother inspired me by her belief that silence in the face of injustice is as good as upholding that injustice. Also I knooooow #TeamADELLE is made up of young guys aki NEVER be silent even when people speak ill of you! Always always ALWAYS be a voice of change and a voice for the voiceless. #AspireToInspire"
On this debate though, do you think it is right and human for men to strip women whom they claim to be 'scantily dressed'? And second, who defines what is decent and what is scanty?
