Ashanti: Men
built 631 days ago
Ashanti women are as brave and daring as the men. But for the impediment of motherhood that keeps them at the home-front they might even have outshone the men in triumphing in wars. For the situation change when villages are attacked. The women stir the men up with war cries and supply them with stones and sticks for offence or defence. If an attack was too sudden and caught the men unprepared the women especially those nursing young babies, filled in quite adequately by bringing out all accessible defensive weapons.

An article that mentions Ashanti at Jermaine Dupri’s Annual Pre-Grammy Awards Party held at the Central Hollywood Lounge in Los Angeles, CA February 8th 2008. No photos yet, but here's what it says:

The average Ashanti is polygamous. Many men strive to marry more than one woman to show their readiness to support a large family and their generosity. Ashanti communities are basically communal and the wealth of one should benefit all. And many men think the best way perhaps, of sharing wealth is taking two or more wives.

Marriage is very important to Ashanti communal life and it can be polygamous. Men may want more than one wife to express their willingness to be generous and support a large family. Women in the Ashanti culture will not marry without the consent of their parents. Many women do not meet their husbands until they are married. Even so, divorce is very rare in the Ashanti culture and it is a duty of parents on both sides to keep a marriage going.

Everyone was partying in Vegas this weekend including Ashanti at Pure and Floyd Mayweather, Reggie Bush, and Kim Kardashian at Prive. Where apparently Floyd Mayweather and Zab Juddah had a “who could ball out more” competition. The two were battling on how many bottles bought and how many dollars were thrown in the air. Two grown ass men battling on who could make it rain the hardest…what a waste.
