Letters to the Editor

Those who hold on to the past and blame it for their misfortune should look for ways to better themselves

Dear Editor, Ms Niacelis Williams’s mention of ”Guyana’s menfolk’ and their unacceptable behaviour towards women’ together with ‘we in the Caribbean bear the legacy of being commodified, negated, dehumanized by the colonizer, but we carry scars that go much deeper: the scars of self-contempt’ needs to be clearly looked at before one can truly understand which menfolk/women she is actually talking about.
