In a recent online controversy, Evelyn Mic, a well-known presenter on Galaxy FM and Spark TV, sparked a heated debate with her statement that giving women Ugx 50,000 after a date falls short and that men should step up their game.
Evelyn emphasised the significant investments women make in themselves just to show up on a date, arguing that receiving a small sum that doesn’t even cover half of their expenses is unjust.
She shed light on the costs involved, mentioning that an outfit alone could set a woman back 200,000 Ugandan Shillings, coupled with a makeup expenditure of 70,000 Shillings, an Uber ride adding another 30,000 Shillings, and the invaluable factor of her time.
This bold perspective from Evelyn Mic triggered a flurry of reactions from the online community, with some labeling her as materialistic and financially demanding.
Critics argued that it would be more straightforward to communicate one’s expectations clearly rather than burdening men with expensive demands.
Some even suggested that seeking financial independence through employment might be a more sustainable approach.
