@Njeriwaridi They've accepted to be kaliwad by rich boys with old money and don't like it when women don't do the same. Remember the report of a town in Nyandarua (I think) with an epidemic of male suicides? Did men mobilize to speak up? No. But they do when a woman is killed by her partner.
@Njeriwaridi Look at how these rich old men show young men the finger every day. Atwoli snr, no ideas, flaunts around his stupidity, money and wives on JKL, while a young man with energy and brilliant ideas can't get a job and doesn't know if he'll get married. Or is shot dead by police.
@Njeriwaridi Then another one paralyzes a young man and uses money to sanitize himself.
All that's a big eff you to young men.
But the rich men give them one outlet. Women. If the men take out their frustrations on women, the police won't intervene, State House and politicians keep quiet.

@Njeriwaridi If you tell Kenyan men that they're bamboozled, they get soooo upset because they get what you're saying: that they have to stand up to the Ndichu and Muigai types and face more wrath of the state than they already do. That scares the s*** out of them. Afhadhali waauwe wanawake.
@Njeriwaridi They've seen Benson and Emmanuel. They've seen Willie Kimani. Miguna Miguna. Carlton Mwangi. DJ Evolve. These are successful guys doing something right and look what happened to them. Do the men defend them? Silence. Lakini mwanaume akuuwa mwanamke, the man will be defended.
@Njeriwaridi I thought that men would defend Brian because he was allegedly found in a girls' school. Si men should be the ones saying that it's normal for teenagers to want to see girls and they should be guided on the best way to do it, not killed for it? But who is saying that? It's women.
@Njeriwaridi Men celebrate when Boni's house is bombed. They celebrate when a young man is killed for being a normal kid. They celebrate extra judicial killings of men.
It's a psychosis. And we don't have a Malcolm X to call it out for brothers.
That's the tragedy.

@Njeriwaridi I heard film maker Raoul Peck say once that the 1950s and 60s was a holocaust for black men. Martin. Malcolm. Lumumba. Mboya. Kimathi. Add all the young Kenyan male leaders who died in mysterious accidents because old men loved white power too much.
Trauma iko.
Trauma iko.
