Well, since it went public, that is OK. My apologies to address you as a
brother, but only due to lack of familiarity with Ugandan names.
I am dying of laughter here. Yep, you were corrected on this name before. You
observation is interesting but I think while some of us  pre-configure
ourselves to think this way,  the problem may be more prominent with the opposite
sex. I am glad you are a sister and identifying ourselves is actually an
education for those of our sisters who  may think we have to take a back seat when it
comes to expressing ourselves on political affairs as well as those in the
opposite sex who are pre-disposed
to view us this way.
I was listening to a very interesting interview on BBC yesterday about the
Woman Prime Minister of Mozambique. I was quite impressed. I have spent time in
Southern Africa and my view is that there is less gender discrimination in
that part of Africa.
