It is part of the English Culture series, published by Saide, a South African Institute for Distance Education initiative, with copyright in 2015. The story is set in a country with a cruel leadership structure where women hold all positions of power, serving as chiefs, elders, and primary decision-makers. Men are relegated to domestic chores and serve their mistresses. Initially, the societal structure functions well with everyone fulfilling their roles. However, over time, women begin to treat men cruelly, imposing forced labor and mistreatment. Disagreements within families are attributed to men, who face public punishment without fair hearings. The rules become increasingly strict, eroding men's rights. Despite the oppressive conditions, the men desire dialogue to address their grievances. They organize several meetings, but the women's stance remains unchanged, leading to even tighter regulations and a ban on public gatherings for men. Consequently, men are confined to their homes while women continue to work in offices.

The narrative explores themes of power imbalance, oppression, and the struggle for justice.","Men or Women  \nWriter: Simon Ipoo  \nIllustration: Wiehan de Jager, Rob Owen, Magriet Brink, Vusi Malindi, Mango Tree and Zablon Alex Nguku  \nEnglish Culture  \nMen or Women  \nWriter: Simon Ipoo  \nIllustration: Wiehan de Jager, Rob Owen, Magriet Brink, Vusi Malindi, Mango Tree and Zablon Alex Nguku  \nEnglish  \nMen or Women Writer: Simon Ipoo  \nIllustration: Wiehan de Jager, Rob Owen, Magriet Brink, Vusi Malindi, Mango Tree and Zablon Alex Nguku  \nSaide, South African Institute for Distance Education [www.africanstorybook.org](www.africanstorybook.org)  \nA Saide Initiative  \nCopyright © 2015, Lolupe pilot site  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
