Filmmaker Leila Djansi has criticized African men in a new post, targeting what he calls the fragility and misogyny exhibited by them.
In her post, Djansi argued that certain men who demand submission from Black women would behave differently if paired with women backed by stronger social structures.
She wrote, “All I want God to do is to pair these fragile, misogynistic African men with white women. Three months!!! Three months! They will be scrubbing the floors and bringing her breakfast in bed. She will tame him fast fast!”
Djansi suggested that the power dynamics many of these men rely on would quickly collapse in spaces where women have institutional support.
“Let me see you demand submission and nurturing from a blonde haired white woman with the establishment behind her. Fast. Brutal. Humbling,” she said.
According to her, such men exhibit their dominance selectively.”Because these men can only flex for black women,” she added, arguing that the cultural and systemic positioning of Black women makes them easy targets for controlling behaviours.
