Photo: Nairobi News The clash of chauvinism and gender equality has been best captured in a photo of a woman standing in a train as men sat and played dead.
The woman in the photo holds onto a pole facing a bench full of men who were either asleep or looking away.
The men clutch tightly onto their bag packs with none of them offering the woman a seat.
The photo elicited mixed reactions on the internet, with a majority of men commenting that true gender equality means no one should offer their seat to another on account of gender.
Women on the other end urged men to be gentlemen and stop hiding under the gender equality campaign.
