Renowned Kenyan celebrity and content critic, CassyPool, recently delved into the contentious topic of infidelity in relationships, particularly focusing on men’s inclination towards cheating on their partners.
Reflecting on his upbringing, CassyPool recounted the teachings of his grandfather, who emphasized the inherent polygamous nature of men. According to his grandfather, a mark of true masculinity was the ability to maintain multiple wives, ostensibly to prevent infidelity.
Drawing from traditional African societies, CassyPool highlighted how the practice of polygamy was prevalent among ancestors, attributing its absence of infidelity issues to the extensive responsibilities shouldered by men in caring for their multiple wives.
In contemporary times, CassyPool observed a facade of monogamy among men, concealing underlying admiration for other women. He asserted that those who outwardly maintain monogamous relationships often engage in clandestine affairs, suggesting that the absence of a second wife doesn’t deter infidelity but rather facilitates it.
Expanding on his argument, CassyPool noted that such men tend to betray their partners with individuals in close proximity, such as relatives or trusted friends, exploiting the element of trust to evade suspicion.
In light of these insights, CassyPool advocated for a nuanced understanding of men’s polygamous tendencies, urging women to focus on nurturing their relationships and providing genuine love and emotional security to their partners as a potential deterrent against infidelity.
