The past two days on X (formerly Twitter) have been ablaze with reactions to remarks made by Eric Amunga, widely known as Amerix. The self-styled men’s advocate, boasting a following of 1.7 million on the platform, stirred controversy after an appearance on NTV’s *Your World*.
During the interview, Amerix asserted that “at 30, a woman is supposed to be married with children,” a statement that ignited widespread debate. While some agreed with his perspective, the majority voiced strong opposition, challenging his views on marriage and societal expectations. CHECK OUT: The reproductive health specialist and University of Nairobi graduate, known for his unapologetically traditional stances, faced backlash from both women and men who questioned the relevance of his statement in modern society.
Critics emphasized that fulfillment doesn’t always stem from adhering to societal norms. One user, @june_nyar_onyuna_laktar, challenged the notion, asking, “Is marriage an achievement if I may ask? We have more pressing issues to discuss.” Another, @fashioniconstan, dismissed his views outright, stating, “Please don’t make your mothers’ choices our choices.
We know better, and that’s why we are patient and selfish with ourselves.” Sarcastic critiques also emerged, with @dr.keziah_njuguna noting, “A divorced man advising married people,” and @kamil.
