Dear Editor,
Of late on social media more and more we are seeing puppy dogs being breastfed by cats and vicer versa. lionesses breastfeeding tiger cubs cats playing with snakes, but here by us for a good while now daily or nightly women on St. Maarten are making it a practice to publicly fight with each and will not stop until one or both are practically or completely naked
Because I have lived through the era when our parents used to tell us "Only dogs and cats does fight like all you" and "Not even dogs and cats don't fight each other any more" leading up to these days that the different animals are breastfeeding each other's pups and kids.
Instead of us copying from those animals, between the fighting and the kind of clothes women wear in public nowadays, I am at a lost. We were brought up to respect women. My mother who was the mother of eleven boys would always say to us " What you don't want any man to do to me or your sisters, do not do it to another woman".
I have always taken that warning into consideration, but when I see the way women dress in public nowadays no matter what time of the day it is, I wonder what my mother would have said. There are laws governing this kind of behaviour and I believe those who are involved with Carnival should listen and look around and consider the image of St. Maarten. Are we known for sleeping with our bedroom windows open?
