Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni came under fire Monday for saying he had not stepped into the kitchen since he got married, and that he believes that other men shouldn’t cook as well as it’s not a man’s role to do so.

“The head of the home never goes into the kitchen. It is now 45 years with Mama Janet, I have never stepped into the kitchen. That is how it should be,” he said on Sunday in a statement, as an example of how politicians and civil servants should stick to prescribed roles.

Oxfam’s International Executive Director, Winnie Byanyima, hit back at the 74-year-old president on Twitter, saying she was “disappointed”.

“Cooking isn’t a woman’s job. It’s a life skill. All people – men and women should cook,” she wrote.

“When cooking, cleaning and doing other domestic chores are left to women, they are denied an equal chance to raise incomes or to be politically active.”

Beatrice Alaso from the opposition Forum For Democratic Change told AFP:

“Museveni has revealed to the world what he has always believed in: that women can never be the same as their male counterparts.”

Online news website Watchdog Uganda however defended Museveni’s comments as consistent with the country’s culture which sees men cooking as “taboo”, saying some ethnic groups in the country have a word referring to men who cook as a “transvestite or a man dressing and behaving like a woman so men shouldn’t cook.”

Africa is run by old and senile men who lack the intelligence and moral compass to run this continent.
If only everyone can be included in governance, women especially, then things will start to improve.
Imagine if Okonja Iweala or Dora Akinyuli was stuck in some kitchen during Jonathan's regime.

In as mch as am of the opinion that cooking isnt solely a woman's responsibilty, it should be noted that women are best suited for some of these works..If an woman is hell bent that her man should join her in the kitchen and as well engage in all house chores, i hope she has no qulams washing the car, mawning the lawn and other percieved manly works..They want equall opportunity and lesser responsiblity.. As a woman, before you beg to differ, i want you to ask a man out, get rejected, try again, propose and pay the groom price..Then i will know you have arrived..

There is no hard set rule in marriage. Whatever works for the two individuals concerned is okay. As long as they are happy in their union. While growing up, I knew a man that will never enter to take anything from the pot no matter how hungry he was. Even if he had to wait hours for the wife or the female daughters to come back. So, let's not condemn anyone for their beliefs.

The President is right!

The reason the world is in a mess marriage-wise, family wise and relationship wise is because we feel we have become too wise to alter some natural laws and ways to suit some aggrieved people and to make things equal.

No matter what we do, the world can never be just to all.

No matter what we do, men and women can never be equal.

Class must exist and injustice must exist for us to appreciate justice.

Watch well, married men who cook for their wives hardly make enough money!

They are usually average income earners, broke men or struggling men depending on their manly dominant wife for sustenance and for peace to reign and to please her.

Married men who cook for their wives hardly end up as great men!

Some things are best suited for some genders to do!

Yes women are joining military but which nation have up to 50% of its military and Police made up of women

Only a nation that exist on TVs and in novels!

Feminists can fight till eternity, women can never be equal to men in all things.

Despite the equal right and marital and relationship laws and rape laws and domestic violence laws made to favour women in America and European nations, tell me how many women billionaires in $$ do we have in the world today

Tell me how many women scientists inventing world class solutions do we have today

Tell me how many top class women tech gurus inventing global best tech solutions all over the world today

Women can try, but nature made men the head and the boss, its a man's world....as a woman or lady, if u want to be in charge of the world and own it, then be humble, be submissive, be loyal, be ambitious, be physically attractive by taking care of your looks and be smart in thinking but in all, don't compete with men, respect them and they will worship u and do whatever u desire!

More proof that age does not equal wisdom.
At 74 still stupid and foolish enough to try to teach this nonsense to others.

All of you shouting the man is right. Better respect yourself and look for a woman who has your mentality and marry her, if you don't see, remain single, just don't disturb or try to change other women who don't have time for this.

Pls let's learn to speak with wisdom.

When the house get old who calls for repairs?

When the gas finishes who provides for the next?

Who settles the children school fees and the house rent?

Who refurbishes the toilet and bath space when dilapedated.

Who thinks of moving the family out of a rented place?

Who buys and maintains cars, chairs, electronics, electricals, roof leaks and etc.. ..

A man has more roles to play in a marriage, so to cooks, raise the children, clean the house should not be a big deal.

A woman can choose to work or not, but this is not afforded for a man.

It is only when a man does none of these and the woman does all of these that he should cook as his role.

What is abroad, women's role is still to cook abroad.
Married men role is not the kitchen even in Europe.
They do it just to compliment, it is not a role.

You just married a Woman in a man's body.

If that was really a man you should be by yourself by now.

All this shenanigans is getting out of place.

That is not what I am saying. A man can and should cook if he wishes to but it's not his role in marriage. This rule is World over.

If his wife can't cook then what was her upbringing like, only if she didn't have parents to teach her.

One chief role of a woman is to learn to cook, because she will have children to feed.
