The discussion was moderated by award-winning journalist, scriptwriter, and filmmaker Anthony Njagi. In attendance was John Sibi-Okumu, who wrote the book’s foreword and other educationalists from different universities.
I woke up with a start. The smell of burning flesh congested the air. I did not know it was my skin singeing until I screamed in pain.

“By the year 2080, our women were not marriageable,” I say, take a sip of the water placed for me on the podium, and continue. “There was a wave of misandry all over the world propagated by feminists, women leaders who instigated a revolution against the man, and government systems that sided with the woman no matter what. Women were the mouths that restored order and justice of the land, prosecutors, and executioners. In their court, men stood accused, guilty, never proven innocent. When one woman managed to create a synthetic sperm in a Petri dish, men were no longer needed. Lysistrata Uprising, they called it.”
