In African societies, the relationship between masculinity and feminism has long been contentious, especially due to the strict and definitive cultural gender roles.[1] A feminist is seen as a secularist woman who has an uttermost deep-seated hatred towards men and plans on staying single.[2] As Chimamanda puts it: “[Y]ou hate men, you hate bras, you hate African culture, you think women should always be in charge, you don’t shave, you’re always angry, you don’t have a sense of humour, you don’t use deodorant”.[3] Feminism, in the eyes of society, is often misunderstood as a movement that hates men and threatens masculinity.[4] Meanwhile, the law plays a crucial role in either upholding or challenging these societal norms. This article explores whether an African man can be a feminist by examining perceptions of masculinity, legal reforms, and the evolving role of men in gender equality.
