        Dear @BBCAfrica, this man does not represent the views of Ugandan men. He is a delusional man who needs help. Please treat these comments as those of one who has lost his way. Thank u.

        Hmm this man don't realize that you can sit down and talk without a slap. If one in a relationship feels that they can be heard there is other ways to handle it. Like African social traditions you go and speak to the elderly or why not seek professional help! Don't slap, find way
