Kenya’s exploding ‘manosphere’ | The Listening Post


Populated by loudmouths, shock artists and unapologetic chauvinists, the Kenyan ‘manosphere’ is promoting an influential – and at times dangerous – take on modern masculinity.

Featuring:
Audrey Mugeni – Co-Founder, Femicide Count Kenya
Awino Okech – Professor of Feminist & Security Studies, SOAS
Onyango Otieno – Mental Health…

We Men are the prize. You can't even spell 'woMAN' without the Man. Shame on you Al jazeera. Change or perish!

@Rhobhyville

How does telling men not to simp associated with femicide? I think Amerix has nothing to do with femicide

@peterkamau3521

Ala! 😂

@ramavivour3602

By looking at the comments, this was a wastage of time and resources.

@ramavivour3602

"Hii imeuma inje". Great topic,poor misrepresentation, wrong guests and wasted my time. If Doc denied your invitation what does it mean I know! do you?.

@mwenyeji-

FAKE NEWS…Do better research next time. Very unprofessional, shallow, subjective and biased journalism.

@noelchristian4858

This documentary is misleading. Why is it made a case of men vs women. Amerix and others are just trying to help men improve and become better fathers, husbands, brothers. Most men in Kenya are fatherless and need this guidance.

@tonnyjarret9490

All this to fund your NGOs! Greed, dishonesty, solipsism.

@frankwachira

With such stories and many similar ones, we are obliged to leave the mainstream media and rely on X for unfiltered news without agendas. The MSM is very misleading and soon enough, you will all close down. SHAME!

@SandraSandra-cm6em

I was saddened when Amerix told men, "Get her pregnant then detach completely 😮, you have done your job, let her do hers!" Pregnant women are at their weakest and most vulnerable, be more supportive instead!

@aimanabdullah5712

The men should look at the life of our Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him.
How much he respected his daughters, sister and his wives. He had the best manners and was polite and respectful towards the women of his house. He was happy to play with his wife Aisha, happy to do his own tasks, respected and praised his wife Khadija even after her death.
Remember, how much he emphasized on the rights of daughters! People use to bury thwir daughters alive but Islam stopped this tradition. The Prophet Peace Be Upon Him gave glad tidings of Paradise to parents on the good upbringing of their daughters.

These men are getting paid by the government, this is why birth rate and marriage is down.

@KiplangatEmmanuel

This is the stupidest thing i have ever seen. At least be honest

@RichardMitati

Interviewing a gay and feminists on matters concerning men just makes the whole thing wrong.

@joseky254

It mind blowing to see in matters concerning men you choose to interview feminist women and a gay Onyango to talk abt men issues. Ntk!!

@nelsononjala7669

The west and feminism have destroyed men in Africa that's why we men are looking towards the East towards Russia and China. Im happy Trump won. Make men great again 😊

@LeopardsHereThere

useless station

@OltaikaTv

Change or perish

@PETERSIMIYU-sk4no

Nonsense, Waste of Time.

Andrew kibe to the world 🌎 🙌

@themantalkspace

Themantalkspace initiative also champion for men we look at the problem then solution and forward all social media handles themantalkspace

@anthonyonyango5808

You are running out of stories thus clinging on iconic personnel to certain relevance. I pity the mainstream media and their sleepy followers. This is a shout out they never needed but definitely deserved I concure under ERICK AMUNGAS' GUIDANCE MEN will be MEN.

@bradykenya

This is why Aljazeera needs to be banned. Fake news

@tmk-c5r

What a Joke!!

when men empower men we are labelled misogynists.When women do the same is empowerment.

This is the Most Misrepresented Documentary I've ever come across.

Al-Jazeera used to be a serious media power.

@MajorMaina_M

Kwa country ya hawa wasee wanawake hawaezi drive🤣🤣
Lakini Amerix na Kibe ni misojinist? Maumbwa😂😂😂
Sasa men should look up to the likes of Rix Poet ama? A cross dresser? Tuachisheni Ngui Ici

@abiriafrica

I didn't see any man being interviewed 😂

@happytape307

The manosphere is a response to feminism that labeled all men as trash. It is a philosophy, not a violent system. Do an piece on militant feminism next. The manosphere philosophy is generally peaceful and objective criticism of the general chaos we see in relationships nowadays.

@amootinyakaana4031

I can't help but watch to this documentary with utter disgust. I am disturbed that first, they patch up stories to make it like manosphere can easily be linked to the increased domestic violence, secondly you use a gay man to talk about things affecting real men and thirdly, there is no link by whatever inference that Amerix's teaching contradict or rather fight the rights of women emancipation. I am hoping you can find better things to talk about for sure.

@johngathuita2553

Selective journalism.

@abdulbarimiyir4740

Bullsh*t one this time, AJ! I follow Amerix from Canada and he enlightens both men and women in important life issues, health being number one!
