𝐔𝐍𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐃 – 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐔𝐬.

by Jacob Aliet.

After postponing reading the book, I finally got it from Nuria Bookstore, Courtesy of Bennet, the chief Marketer at the bookstore, on 12th October 2024.

I later met the author, Jacob Aliet, at the bookstore on 2nd November 2024. He signed the book for me as I commenced my unplugging journey. I promised to campaign to men to purchase the book and read it.

This book is a masterpiece of Jacob Aliet’s best work, yet.

When I finished Chapter 1, It was speaking to me. I had a lot of mixed reactions and feelings as I read each page. I first went to the village, Kahuho to see my grandfather as we discussed how modernization has challenged Marriage institutions in our time. I explained to him what I read from Chapter 1 as he shared how their time was.

The story of Denno was heartbreaking, but a reality that I have seen men going through in life. No one taught us how to handle each other in marriage, especially in the modern world. Marriage nowadays is trial and error.

Young Men nowadays are refusing marriage because it has been weaponized against them. Many young men keep on telling me they don't want to get married, and their parents are worried.

Can we enjoy marriage like the way our African forefathers enjoyed it?

What attracts women to men, and how can men maintain that attachment?

In the age of social media, where women get free attention and validation from hundreds of men, how do men in long-term relationships deal with partners who feel they have so many options?

This book traces the origin of the steady decline of the man’s role in the family. It also seeks to help men understand female nature, revitalize masculinity, and build full-stack men who can navigate relationships while providing leadership in an increasingly gynocentric world that has largely silenced men.

This book will plug you from comforting lies to cold hard truths.

These are three of the questions posed by author Jacob Aliet in this masterpiece book.

Aliet argues that we now live in a femicentric world, where popular media panders to women without regard to what is proper or beneficial to society.

The first part of the book then goes into common and factual anecdotal narratives, most of which happened during the past two years during the COVID-19 period, when domestic violence and divorce rates in Kenya shot up.

𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐛 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧. 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐲, 𝐅𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦, 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞.

To understand the dynamics of the present, Jacob takes us back many years into the past, exploring how various factors influenced changes over time. He draws connections between historical events and current situations, linking human nature to animal behavior and relating biblical references to modern times. His analogy weaves everything together seamlessly.

Anyone who genuinely wants to understand the dynamics of intersexual relationships should pick up a copy of this book. It's important not only to read it but to use it as a guide to evaluate oneself.

Aliet is correct when he points out that these are lessons fathers often do not teach.
