Casual labourer Bernard Martim, who reportedly slit the throat of Sharon Chepkoech after she jilted him, is 32. I would have wished to enumerate all the beastly perpetrators of femicide in the country but allow me to directly digress to my point. Then, a fundamental question arises: Is there a generational problem that has now decided to flashily rear its ugly head? We are in an era when young men think they are vehemently entitled to the desiderations of their physical, mental and emotional beings. Continuously being violent structurally, physically and emotionally to children ‘caught’ having a relationship is cultivating the art of violence in them too.
