Here's what happens in Kenya when men aren't around:

Mr Muite caused laughter when he told parliament that the monkeys had taken to harassing and mocking women in a village.
because women are primarily responsible for the farms, they have borne the brunt of the problem, as they try to guard their crops.
They say the monkeys are more afraid of young men than women and children, and the bolder ones throw stones and chase the women from their farms.
"When we come to chase the monkeys away, we are dressed in trousers and hats, so that we look like men," resident Lucy Njeri told the BBC News website
"But the monkeys can tell the difference and they don't run away from us and point at our breasts. They just ignore us and continue to steal the crops."
When the men aren't there, the monkeys basically dominate the women.
Why do feminists say women don't need men and are independent when this is what happens when men aren't there?
