My Closest Friend

One of my supervisors at work is Paula's&my closest Ugandan friend.  He showed us around the office, answers all our questions, and helps us with non-work related questions such as where to do laundry and where to watch the soccer games.  I also fundamentally disagree on major principles with him.  He believes women are mentally weaker than men.  His evidence was that no woman has been President and that women do not hold positions of power.  Paula & I debated back and forth with him, citing past discrimination, maternity leave, and scientific studies to back us up.  He then said that Eve was made from Adam’s rib, which is somehow proof of women being mentally inferior to men.  I asked him if he thought Paula and I were mentally weak, but he said no because we argue back with him.  I asked him if I could quote him on all of this and he said yes.

He also is in firm support of the law criminalizing homosexuality, and made that clear on Day 1.  His proof that this was a valid law was pulling out books recording the Ugandan law (derived from the UK) from 1960 where homosexuality was outlawed, and saying that the founders knew it was a sin back then.  In 1641, Massachusetts legalized slavery.  Just because something is a law does not mean it is right.

He thinks it is a sin to dye your hair.
