Ace Ankomah 'fights' feminist Dela Goldheart on Facebook

The long-standing argument on ‘a woman’s place is the Kitchen’ has been resurrected with a new twist on Facebook where the famous legal practitioner, Ace Ankomah engaged in  war of words with a die-hard feminist Dela Goldheart.

Ace Ankomah in a Facebook post on Wednesday January 31, 2018 which was a piece of marriage advice to his ally Kobby Addo stated that  the responsibility of a husband is to provide money for the home while the wife is to ensure that the home is properly managed with food on the table always.

Ace Ankomah suggested that these roles cannot be swapped irrespective of whether the woman chooses to work or not, the kitchen is part of her primary responsibilities.

 

“A woman, even when she works (and every woman should work if she can) should provide only if she wants to. But she is in charge of everything else that has to do with the home. Yes, it is her kitchen, not mine. That’s why she chose everything in there. My only space in the house is my basement. Everywhere else is hers. I don’t care. Just don’t paint our room pink. That’s all,” portions of his post read.

“Don’t MAKE her do it. PROVIDE the means to do it so that even if she doesn’t do it herself or isn’t there to do it, it still gets done. For example, I expect dinner when I get home; and meals when I’m home. You don’t have to cook it. You don’t have to serve it. Just make sure the system I have provided for produces and delivers the food.
“In the same vein, I don’t wash, clean, sweep, vacuum, dust, or do any housework. I am “DADDY.” That’s why I live in Ghana and not in the US,” he noted.

 

Ace Ankomah’s assertion seemed to have angered the die-hard feminist Dela Goldheart as she expresses her extreme disappointment in the famous Lawyer for his post.

“I never thought I will say this about you but I guess career excellence and knowledge in law doesn't make you exceptional when it comes to issues affecting women. You grew up in a patriarchal society. The system is designed to favour you. You had no education on gender equality when growing up. But you know what? That can be changed. You have everything your wife has. I know you are smart enough to see that your wife does not use her vagina to cook or order food. And when it comes to strength, you even have more (likely). So if anyone should work and cook, it should be you. And one more thing, the meaning of daddy and mommy has never been static. Those who improve the world understand that change is one of the factors of progress. Think about it,” she argued.

However, in a sharp rebuttal, Ace Ankomah described the thoughts of feminist Dela Goldheart as “jaundiced”.

“The problem with some of you is that you think every male thinks in a certain way and that it is up to you to educate us. Madam, the person who needs education here is staring right at you in your mirror.

“And where did you get the nonsense from about cooking with a vagina? Are you stupid or just deranged? Does the anonymity of social media give you the right to speak tosh to everyone. You would be proud to be associated with my wife for just 5 minutes in your life. Twit!!

“Take your personal frustrations and bitterness with life elsewhere and get the heck off my page with your angry, rabid and misdirected feminism. Learn to show respect to yourself first. You are a young woman with serious psyche issues. You need help,” he rebutted.

But in responding to Ace Ankomah, feminist Dela Goldheart, claimed the legal practitioner has removed her from his list of friends, she then called Ace Ankomah a coward for running away after calling for a ‘fight’

 

“I thought you are the boss with the tough skin and I am the little worm without a backbone? Someone, tag him if he is your friend. Or better still, Victor Brachie send him a snapshot. Tell him I said that only cowards call people to fight and when they show up they run away.”
