There’s no 'epidemic' of violence against men

It is not hard to tell why married men have been sleeping with their eyes wide open. Violent attacks by women against their sleeping husbands in parts of Central Kenya have sparked panic among menfolk in the region and beyond.

Indeed, no other story has been more debated lately in the public sphere than this one. The talk of town is that husband battering has now spiralled out of control. Mr Nderitu Njoka of Maendelo ya Wanaume obviously concurs that this is the case. PointBlank disagrees.
