Parenting today can sometimes feel like a competition. Many parents, often with the best intentions, end up directing every detail of their child’s life.At first, it seems harmless: structured routines, achievement checklists, fancy extracurriculars.Over time, parenting starts to resemble project management. Children, expected to perform rather than explore, begin to feel the heavy weight of perfection pressing down on them.

In reality, your child is not a blueprint to be executed. They are a whole, evolving person. One who needs space to grow, fail, feel, and find their way. They don’t need to be micromanaged into a version of someone else’s ideal.

Kenya’s social events are starting to look like women’s conferences. No, really. From concerts to curated brunches, the crowd is inherently female, and social media has taken notice. Scroll through any event recap and you’ll see it: women dancing, women vibing, women holding the entire atmosphere together.

The men? Either missing in action or lurking in the background. They haven’t been banned. They’re just not showing up.

An example that sparked debate was the Mataha Festival, a music event that drew hundreds of attendees, but noticeably few men. Social media users quickly pointed out the gender skew, with photos and videos showing women dominating the arena.
