Linda Masarira takes a dig at Shadaya Taona – trashes his independent women have work boyfriends tweet.
Linda Masarira takes a dig at Shadaya Taona – trashes his independent women have work boyfriends tweet – Linda Masarira, a Zimbabwean politician, recently challenged Shadaya Taona’s tweet, claiming that independent women have work boyfriends.
“Most women who go to work have work husbands/boyfriends. Work husbands actually exist. Your woman will be in a relationship with you back home, but simultaneously also in one with a workmate/boss,” reads part of the post.
In response, Masarira expressed her dissatisfaction with such objectification of women, noting that women in Zimbabwe have been too lenient for too long. She explained that not all women are the same and that just because an individual had a bad experience with one woman doesn’t mean they’re all the same.
She emphasized that women have been fighting for respect globally for centuries, and now is not the time to condone gender discrimination. The world is moving towards equal opportunities, rights, and gender equality, and Taona’s opinions could only reverse these gains.

Masarira warned that extremist alpha male opinions, such as Taona’s, should be kept to themselves unless they seek to pollute the mindset of other men. According to her, there’s nothing positive to learn from misogynistic content that is very discriminatory and has the potential to destroy the marriage institution.
In response to these statements, Masarira said that the women’s movement in Zimbabwe is drafting a bill to protect women against sexist, misogynistic statements, insults, name-calling, body shaming, and other related derogatory statements. She, therefore, advised Taona to be mindful of his utterances, as the movement would not condone any form of derogatory statements against women.

Masarira concluded by issuing a warning to Taona that if he wanted a battle with women, she was ready to deliver one. She demanded respect for the gender that carried and gave him life and warned Taona not to underestimate women.
Taking to her X account, she said:
Enough of your objectification of women Shadaya. I think women in Zimbabwe have been too lenient on you. If a woman messed you up, it doesn’t mean that all women are messed up. Many women do value their marriages and have never had an affair either at work, church, or wherever. Women have been struggling to be respected globally for centuries. Now we are at a time when the world is slowly accepting equal opportunities, rights, and gender equality, then boom, we have some weird characters like you trying to reverse the gains of the women’s struggle since 1921. It is better off if you keep your extremist alpha male opinions in your mind lest you polute sane men’s mindsets. What kind of man are you who doesn’t have anything positive to write about women. There is nothing to learn from your misogynistic content, which is very discriminatory and has the potential to destroy the marriage institution. You are one of the reasons why the women’s movement in Zimba we is drafting a bill to protect women against sexist, misogynistic statements, insults, name-calling, bodyshaming, etc. We can’t be facing such derogatory statements as women in March, a month set aside internationally to celebrate women and their achievements. If you want war with women, we will give you war, Shadaya! Usaite kunge wakadonha kubva kudenga. Respect the gender of the womb that carried you and gave you life! #WomensHistoryMonth
