Kenyan men must stop whining and put on their big boy pants

I look at Kenyan men and I know for sure that these are not the same men God put in this world to hunt and gather for us. These are not the same men that used to kill lions to win their brides. These ones are fickle. Their masculinity is made of paper straws. If they were sent out to set traps the first thing they would ask each other is, "Where are the feminists?" because they are chronic whiners.

They were raised with patriarchal notions of what a woman should be and they just cannot believe that women are out here fucking and increasing body counts with the same intensity as them and defying the patriarchy in ways their mothers never did. They want us to be their mothers so bad such that it feels like a form of oppression to them when we are not replicas of what their mothers were, so they spend too much time on social media whining incessantly like lost puppies, believing they can guilt trip us into becoming what they expect us to be.
