African philosophy shows two waves of irrationality about women’s roles

Evidence

While Bantu Philosophy highlights conflict in the West’s perception of African ontology, my postulations seek to further highlight a deeply embedded double challenge: (1) Western feminists’ perceptions of an African feminist worldview, and (2) the tragedy of a difference in perception between African feminists and Africans who are anti-feminism. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 896 (#complicates, via linked claim)
