From the Djibouti first lady topic, I noticed that some Somali men think that Somali women have no clans, no agenda of their own, no feelings and so forth.
Some of you desperately want to believe that your wife from another clan, will choose you and your clan over her own clan. That's not how it works. She's not your daughter, she's your wife. If she marries you, she doesn't become your clan. She has her own father and her own clan. I hate to state the obvious, but she also has her own thoughts, opinions and so forth.
Rest assured, if a war broke out between your clan and hers, she will find a way to assist her own family without you even knowing it.
Do you guys really think that women will listen in on reports about their family/region about to get attacked and they don't leak the information?
Somalia's constitution used to have a clause, that prevented men with foreign wives to run for office. You really think a Somali wife from a clan that has serious beef with yours, will not be a threat to your agenda? Think about how deeply divided Somalia is, before answering.
I personally love it when women get underestimated/misunderstood. It allows women to rise to power and move undetected. This is why, I will never vote for a Puntite politician with a shisheeye wife. I know my gender.
