These conversations are really funny to me cause it's a very small percentage of the urban population. In rural areas people marry very young & have kids early 20s. A 24 y/o without a spouse or kids is a huge outlier there. Same dynamic with people in rougher city neighborhoods.

Ten years ago when foreign NGOs were funding gendered campaigns as "women empowerment" I knew it would trigger gender wars. And it did. What I didn't expect was gender wars to find its way into the medical world especially theatre rooms.

@Wordslinger__ Nyong'o has a, what shall I call it, interesting political philosophy. I stopped trying to understand him when he supported the government against doctors. In both Kibaki's and Uhuru's governments.
This is evil. Absolute evil. How desperate are you that you will ruin citizens' eardrums because you don't want them to meet?
