Is it really becoming for PM Fiame, to lash out with the analogy of a girl’s loss of virginity against the protests by former PM Tuilaepa, to the merging of their neighbouring electoral constituencies?
Her analogy will certainly open up a Pandoras Box of public opinion.
Very highly unlikely Tuilaepa will have any real understanding of how a young girl reacts to the loss of virginity, in an intensely private area of a woman’s anatomy.
Probably a wrong analogy for the PM to make, if it was intended to embarrass or induce vengeful pain, on her leading political nemesis.
One dreads to hear what Tuilaepa has to say about such intrusive remarks made against him.
A first time sexual experience is supposed to be a psychological event with memories lasting a lifetime for all involved.
Privacy and intimacy are absolute musts when the act supposedly occurs.
No young girl in her right mind would go around inviting everyone to come watch her lose her virginity.
Whether the actual experience is also worth bragging about differ with how it turned out in the end.
Genders are supposed to react according to the drama or trauma of the actual physical act. Was it memorable or was it not?
If Tuilaepa had a memorable one to be celebrated, then was the PM trying to compliment him with her analogy?
How would she know if her political neighbour’s first time was earth shattering or not?
There is no stopping the innuendoes that are sure to surface from this very politically and sexually loaded splash the PM has made public against her political opponent.
Since this is an intimate issue for women the PM has focused public attention on, how would the ‘gentle gender’ react?
Is this a wanted or unwanted attention for them? Do women want public debate on the loss of their virginities?
Please, let there be no gender toes stepped on or virginity penetrated as the PM claimed, although precise yet unfortunate.
Medically, we learn that the breaking of the hymen inside a woman’s vagina is supposed to be painful.
If that is so, then in defence of the PM’s analogy, it does seem to fit in.
If the loss to Tuilaepa of his electoral constituency is supposed to be painful, then maybe the pain of the torn hymen leading to the loss of virginity in a woman, is what the analogy is all about.
Unfortunately, Tuilaepa will have no way whatsoever of knowing what the pain feels like.
Maybe the effect the PM was trying to get at with her analogy in women, is equivalent to the ‘kick up the nuts’ for the male gender.
Tuilaepa will certainly feel that.
Any man would, except for the rare few not crowned with those precious jewels. Whether they are the lucky ones or not is another story.
Pray, however, the PM’s loss of virginity analogy is not too offensive to our womenfolks.
Public exposure of a very intimate area in their sexual anatomy, especially in a volatile arena like national politics, can become a nightmare.
Our current politics is already in a state beyond frightening.
Nothing seems to be sacred anymore.
As we have also now discovered, not even our womenfolks very private parts.
