This is a good short story. The gender roles have been reversed and the world lives in a female led society. It was an interesting look into the lives of Obinna and Eze. They are two friends who grew up together, yet they have very different views on society. Obinna is the traditional, stay at home husband while Eze is a free spirited progressive, who champions men’s rights. This is a short and quick read that I would recommend to others.

It was an enjoyable read I guess. Not particularly imaginative, just men playing the traditional roles of women in a pretty cliche story. 

I did laugh a little about Eze's club outfit and I think I would enjoy living in that world.
