NAIROBI, KENYA: Whenever I hear a man say he owns two or three pairs of shoes, I am always tempted to ask him how long he has had the problem. Similarly, when a woman says her spouse or boyfriend has less than five pairs of shoes, I always wonder if she has had such a traumatic effect him.
We can forgive some men for developing cold feet when it comes to the number of shoes they own, but that does not mean we should suffer absurd reasoning like ‘owning too many pair of shoes makes you effeminate.’ That is rubbish!
