Kenyan law scholar, Prof Makau Mutua, has been waging a war against western weaves and wigs won by African women. “If one must wear a wig,” he asks, “why not one of natural African hair?”
He has received some flak and been accused of mansplaining women’s hair. Mansplaining is the explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman on something she probably knows about, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronising.
