In a discussion on the latest edition of Asetena Pa on Pure FM, host Akoto Mansa boldly challenged the long-standing notion that hygiene is primarily a woman's responsibility.
She started by addressing the common misconception that cleanliness is often seen as a concern for women, urging the listeners to rethink this perspective. "Hygiene is not just a woman's job," Akoto Mansa said. " It's a shared responsibility in any relationship, and men must be equally invested in maintaining cleanliness" she stressed, Her words resonated with the panel, which quickly rallied behind the idea that hygiene plays a crucial role in the dynamics of a relationship.
They collectively agreed that men should not expect intimacy or affection if they aren't putting in the effort to keep themselves clean.
Evangelist Michael Antwi, known by his alias Condemn, brought a startling reality into the conversation by sharing shocking statistics on men's bathing habits. "Some men go as long as three days without a bath," he revealed. "Others bathe only once a week." His comments were met with disbelief, but he explained that these habits often stem from a lack of discipline during childhood. "If a man wasn't taught to take care of himself growing up, it's hard to expect him to change later in life," he continued. "Those of us who were raised with structure feel uncomfortable if we don't bathe at least twice a day, because that's the standard we were taught." For him, the connection between upbringing and hygiene was undeniable.
