Another short Amazon Original Story. Unique perspective but felt unfinished.

What an amazing piece of feminist speculative fiction! We follow a man in Nigeria as his friend who lives in America comes to visit. In this world, male and female roles are reversed with women primarily in power with all the priviledge and men staying at home, being under their spouse's thumb, and fighting for their legal body autonomy. It powerfully shows how ridiculous casting people in roles based on gender is.
