Do you think the reaction would have been the same? Nope. The social justice warriors would have strung him up and demanded that he lose everything from his job, reputation, to his livelihood.
The answer as to why Brendah's story will not get this reaction is pretty simple, it is because she is a woman.
The world and primarily social justice warriors treat violence differently based on the gender that did it.
Now, why is this an issue? Because people who identify and support the LGBTQ community is rising in the world, even in Kenya.
As such people cannot keep on ignoring violence within the lesbian community, which studies have shown to be very high in western countries.
Why? Because ignoring gender violence perpetrated by a woman to another woman, in essence, legitimises it.
Social justice warriors should be very concerned that Brendah wasn't one bit concerned about confessing to the violence against her lover.
It shows that some women aren't afraid of the repercussions that come with putting their hands on another woman or man for that matter, because there are none.
It shows that social politics worldwide (which is run on Twitter by the social justice warrior mob) have normalised this type of violence by being keeping quiet about it. As they say, silence is consent.
But what do I know?
