cowANDchickenANDcoward is a cyber world created by four female first year Rhodes University students. This blog, despite its name, is very brave in a sense that some of the topics that are discussed within it are really delicate and sensitive issues.
As expected wherever autonomous female minds congregate, the ladies from this blog tackle issues that are common hits among women. Issues such as weight problems and of course feminist campaigns are among the topics that fall under the umbrella of subject matter that form the crux of this blog.
The blog is also a reflection our world today, as politics also make a guest appearance among the conferred areas covered. Politically oriented current affairs make up the larger proportion of this blog, who said politics are for men? The blog also tends to take on the role of big sister as it has posts that are about the “top 10 things to do in the process of exam preparation,” which are clearly aimed at fellow students.
There are also some very fine narratives to be found on the blog, on that caught especially caught my wandering eye was “Dope time or dope out?” which was posted by writer Seeyah.
The name of the blog and the issues covered suggest that the makers of this blog had an intended contrast in mind. Only once upon a blue moon does a coward tackle these agendas with such bravery, a job well done!
