What if the fight for "liberation" was never truly ours?
In Africa, once the cradle of matriarchs and rain queens, womanhood was not screamed in hashtags but lived in balance with manhood. Yet, modern feminism, draped in wigs, borrowed slogans, and donor-funded scripts, has turned harmony into hostility. What was once a covenant of gender has been rebranded into a battlefield.
The Wound Beneath the Wig is not just about Africa. It is about every nation, culture, and religion that has abandoned its ancestral rhythm for imported ideologies. From Ugandan courtrooms where fathers are denied their children, to Western campuses where masculinity is criminalised, to households worldwide where domesticity is mocked. This is a story of how feminism lost its compass and embraced misandry.
But beneath the wound lies wisdom. Africa's history reminds the world that gender was never war, but a covenant of balance. This narrative is a call to all cultures, East and West, North and South, to peel off the borrowed wig and confront the deeper wound of division, pride, and cultural amnesia.
If feminism has become the new empire, then truth must be the rebellion.
