Women empowerment isn't an excuse for the negligence of the boy child. Reason? Women empowerment is a movement as opposed to a coup.
Just the way table banking operates, whereby the strong, successful and knowledgeable members mentor and share experiences with the other members, women do the same for one another. That's why there are more women scaling the heights of economic success than men. It has even got to the point that they are mentoring other men on amassing wealth!!
Women are naturally supportive hence the fast growth of the women empowerment programme(s).
Do men support and mentor one another? No they don't. Men tend to assume that their fellow men are fine but the truth is they need mentorship. They don't have to form chamas but they can do it in their meeting places.
How many fathers coach their sons on life, marriage, wealth and fatherhood? How many brothers care enough to mentor their younger male siblings on life? The reason there were real men in our grandfathers' days was simply because the uncles, elders, fathers, older brothers dutifully mentored the young men on life, marriage and fatherhood.
Basically, gender empowerment is all about mentorship. So men, women haven't taken over your throne; you have just refused to wake up from your 2 decade sleep. Your throne still awaits you.
