Fly is Open
A man’s reaction is the same in all corners of the globe, in Putin’s Russia and Biden’s America. Maybe not all corners because in highly religious countries, men have layers of clothing. But in general, men immediately look down and zip up when they hear: Your fly is open. They show gratitude with a THANK YOU.
It’s very private. That is why ESPN commentator and former player Stephen A. Smith was mad at Dillon Brooks for tampering with LeBron’s valuables during an April 2023, basketball game. There is a Zulu word for what Stephen A. called ‘family jewels.’
No. I won’t tell you because it cannot be repeated on this global platform, the same way we were chased out of the room when adults discussed it. There are proverbs about it. Someone will say in Zulu: “Puck and I are one jewel.” They are brothers. A family fights over land or other serious issues, neighbours say: “War is in the family jewels.”
If the world is mad at Dillon Brooks for hovering around LeBron’s no-go area, how much more castrating boys? Can you imagine the pain? Once more, grown men are free to have sexual experiments on each other, but they must not force it on the rest of humanity, and definitely not school kids. I said it, humanity, which is male and female. Oops! Is that being right wing, hate speech or high treason?
