Massa, this joke is in very bad taste. The egregious sexual harassment of
females of the species in Ghana, by philandering misogynists, is no
joking matter for those at the receiving end of that unpardonable
abomination.
It is vital that the more responsible sections of
the Ghanaian media, recognise that this is a watershed moment in our
national life. The time has come for women who have been victims of
sexually-harassing males, in powerful positions in all spheres of
Ghanaian society, to name and shame them. The media must support them to
do so.
Sexual harassment is demeaning to women and Ghanaian men must somehow be forced to put a stop to it - and
that can only happen when gender parity becomes one of the underpinnings
of our society. Now. Not tomorrow. Haaba.
Professor Gyampo who has been accused of sexual harassment, can
redeem himself, by being honest about this character-failing of his, and
apologise to all his victims - and dedicate the rest of his life to
working hard for the removal of this dangerous virus from our national
life. It is an epidemic in Ghana, if truth be told. It is everywhere in
this nation full of philandering hypocrites. It is a canker that needs
excision from the Ghanaian polity.
Perhaps Professor Gyampo could set up an NGO for that noble purpose - and will be wise to do so: as it
can help educate young boys nationwide to respect women and understand
clearly that sexual harassment is evil. Above all, sexual harassment
is a sickness, in a sense, and the Professor Gyampos in our midst must
seek psychological counselling to help cure them of it.
