Not African to Subjugate and Oppress Women – Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti has stated that it is not African to subjugate and oppress women but rather Africans elevate the females in every sense of the way.

He pointed out that it is an European proverb that states that a woman’s place is in the kitchen and advised men to know more about the African culture and practices.

In the post he shared on his Instagram page, he wrote, “A woman’s place is in the kitchen? Which kitchen? Whose kitchen? Not our ancestors kitchen! This proverb is European without any equivalent in any African language. So before you start attaching your toxic masculinity to African culture ask yourself this, do I know African culture?”

“As an African what culture practices of African heritage do I engage in? Religion education liberation? If the answer is none, how come u want to suddenly become African to subjugate and oppress your woman? Ain’t no such thing as half way crooks. You are either African or u aren’t , there is no picking and choosing especially when you want to dump ur toxic self on our women. REAL AFRICANS ELEVATE THE FEMININE FORM #getthesax”
