Misogyny Exposed
Dear ANR,
Social media has been rife as stories of what happened between men and women in what would normally be private settings have come to the fore.
Many comments have been made as a popular and engaged couple has had the glassy beauty of their relationship shattered as a young lady shared that she too would have gotten in on the relationship.
While criticisms and comments on the situation arose, it was most unfortunate that a person who holds a position at a local media house decided to make a comment that was the most disrespectful about the alleged other woman- suggesting that she is young, dumb and full of what rhymes with dumb.
However, the young lady was able to show that this man would have also been pursuing her, and she turned him down. While I don’t have a personal grievance with relationships with wide age gaps provided that both parties are adults, this man had to have known WHILE he was speaking to her that she was young. Her youth clearly was not a reason for him to go against trying to get her attention. When exactly did she appear to be dumb to him? Did her level of intelligence matter when he was trying to make a move on her?
This level of hatred for a woman for simply being rejected shows how fragile some men in our society are, and the need for fathers to be in homes. I understand that the man who decided to make that comment would have lost his father at a young age, so maybe he needed to be mentored on how to be a man because his endless posts on social media suggest that he is deeply broken and in need of validation, like a lot of men in our society.
Amid all of the madness on social media, this shows how thinly veiled misogyny is within our country where a man could have avoided speaking on a young lady, but decided to say possibly the nastiest thing about her because his little, delicate feelings were hurt.
It also calls into question the code of conduct media house employees are expected to adhere to when a man who is supposed to hold a position of authority IN MEDIA can act so recklessly on social media… it’s baffling.
Anything really goes in Antigua because had that person been anywhere else in the world, they would have been fired with immediate effect and their hopes of being credible in media would have been destroyed.
This letter is not meant to be a “men are evil” letter but to expose that even some men who would try to create the facade that they care for women would only do so if their own interest of getting into bed with women are met, if not, they show their true colours.
There are great men out there in Antigua.
There are men in Antigua who are committed to their families, running businesses, and making a difference in real life and this cuts back on the time they have to be acting up on social media.
Let us know the difference and call out the misogynists as they appear.

Well said writer! To be honest, a lot of men showed their true ‘cheating’ colors especially the big so called influencer who would have listeners believe he ONLY speaks truth! He has been recently that women must value themselves, dress as queens and not have “strings up in their cocaholes,” That he was committed to his ‘wife’ and even chastised females in the comments who gave him the slightest compliment -because he had a ‘wife.’ Going ok so far? Well imagine my shock when on his two lives about this same situation, he ragged off his sheep clothing and exposed the true wolf of misogyny and cheating underneath. The man begged Lauvin to please, please give him the ting till viewers were left wondering if he had broken up with his ‘wife.’ Cause ain’t no way her partner could be on a live with over 3,000 views begging a next woman in graphic detail to let him do all manner of things to her. On a live, mind you…..not in a group with his bredrins making all sorts of jokes, that would stay in the group… on a LIVE. He even went further to show a pic of the alleged side piece in a small bikini bottom and made gestures and insinuated what he would want to do. Now tell us, isn’t this gross disrespect to his so called ‘Queen’ and ‘Empress.’ NOBODY, who was preaching till the spit bombs were hitting the screen, about decency, etc could sink into such nastiness. At one point he even said that even if the main piece had a itchy private part he would still go through with it (with protection). I honestly believe he owes his girlfriend an apology. Truly, she needs to think hard because anyone listening to him for those hours got the feeling that he was and still is a gyalis and not the reformed, committed partner that he pretends to be. Plenty people saw the TRUTH on those lives. Misogyny is sadly and disgustingly alive and well in Antigua.
What did I miss?
What is unfortunate is that your letter has failed to note that at no time in that young and dumb post did the person who holds a position at a local media house EVER mention her name or made reference to her. She took a screenshot, posted it on her page and stated “You always a chat nfk dawg a wah cause I wasn’t “ready to be *YOURS* yet?” “.
Speech is still free in this country even though we may not all agree on how some people choose to express themselves.
It certainly should not be the expectation that woman can get away with anything and when there is pushback hide behind accusations of misogyny.
People need to be done with this story. First off the sports caster did not mention a name in his post and till this day did not. Eveybody is assuming and making an ass of themselves including you and the side piece. Antiguans just dumb and very mum when it comes to the important things that really affect them. The country ah fall apart and this them ah study…SMH
@Eyes Open, come on, you seem like a regular, so you should have been able to recognize sarcasm. His wife was right there while he was saying it.
@Black pineapple. That sports caster apparently has a history of being in women’s (young at that) inboxes. They have this veil of importance and high morally, but as one of the commenters on this issue said, they are DAARGGGss… Yeah, you all won’t say any better because they are your “friends”. KIP OUT A LIKKLE GYAL INBOX. And what’s even worst is apparently, him and the cheater are/were friends. The cheater obviously told him about the young lady and he was trying to get a piece and I’m pretty sure that’s what the young lady alluded to when she mentioned (as per the screen shots), “you know the situation”. I’m paraphrasing here. Rule #1 of the “Bro Code”: Never, ever, try to trouble your bredrin “side gyal”. But these are p**ks are trying to play “sharp man”, trying to sew their oats (as per Coming to America) now them old. Young ladies are easy targets, after all, they’re “young, dumb” and extremely hypersexual. I have absolutely no idea how anyone even considered taking “Relationship Advice” from this so-called relationship guru. I’m no saint.
Conclusion: If they grow up and tap beg likkle gyal fu wife (loyal term for asking for sex), they wouldn’t be embarrassed on social media. Look woman yuh age.
Jtruth is a hypocrite and Lauvin would never even give him the chance. I just hope Franny don’t too cus he love in women inbox. Look at him showing how thirsty he is on his lives acting like a anti-man and love talk bout Brample..
He neva haffu say she name!!!! And when Franchesca answer he rasshole, he never say he nah min deh a talk to she.
Aryu lub fu play dumb when aryu like somebody.
Why are we out here acting like the sports reporter is so old…he must be about 26 which is in franny age range. The reporter just looks old but his not.
To the man in the relationship..next time use your head and not your dick. You out here disrespecting your good woman with someone who have not one care in the world and involved with many other men. Have some respect for yourself…dirty boy.
To franny…these men want nothing but your vagina. You need to go back to school, educate yourself, get a good job and live a decent life. Be smart not a clothes pin.
To the woman in the relationship..you were disrespected by someone you trusted but from what I gather from this whole situation, it doesn’t seem like it’s the first time. You’re a good woman but you have to know your value and know when it’s time for you to walk away. Take your time to analyze all what’s going, don’t rush anything or make any decisions in haste or because you think it’s what the public wants to see. Who feels it knows it.
To the public…let this situation rest and let these people live their lives.
@dj, don’t try that. Sarcasm, we’re familiar with and this wasn’t in the live. NOBODY could talk bout another woman for sooooo long and so thirstily, in the presence of his partner, and she not feel insulted! That makes it even worse! Down right disrespectful. Is that how he treats his ‘Queen?’ Another commenter said that he always in women’s inbox and I can believe it based on how casually he let certain things slip. I swear I thought they were no longer together. Young lady, act like the Queen he says you are and DEMAND better! We love a good joke but this was cringe…….no lie.
By the way how some are you women allow these guys to have sex with you ewwww!!! Looks aint everything but is their popularity have are you so??
