"A broke woman is still a woman. An educated woman is still a woman. A woman who can't provide is still a woman. And she gets all the respect she deserves," part of his caption read.
Do people care about men?
When addressing men, he emphasised the role of provider, saying it was a significant concern.
Whether a man is educated or broke, he noted the pressure was on him to provide for his immediate family.
"But a man without these things is a burden even to his family. Being strong as a man is the only choice. No one cares," he shared.
Social media reactions
His post sparked an online buzz, with many social media users agreeing it was difficult to be a man as it came with responsibilities.

"A culture that tells a broke man he deserves no woman has no right to tell him to stick to one woman when he is rich.
We were born to fight the life of a man has never been easy and will never be easy, and nobody will help you, only you. Stand up strong, champ like a real man, and because of us men, they eat, drive, enjoy and be safe ."
mr_dancerfc:
"To be a man is a lonely road, yet where there is great pain, there is great pleasure."
yegodama:
"Women are born with value. For men, you have to create."
Should Nairobi men earn more than women?
Similarly, a Nairobi man urged men to ensure they had more money than their wives.
Bray Okut suggested that men should strive to maintain a financial lead over their wives, even if it's just a modest KSh 80.
The KSh 80 difference symbolised qualities like unconditional love, peace of mind, serenity, understanding, appreciation, support, and respect.
He humorously added that the day a woman outpaces her man by even KSh 10, he should start running and consider himself single and divorced.
