TV presenter and DJ Etania Mutoni has sparked a heated conversation online after openly criticizing women who say they cannot kneel while serving their partners food.
Speaking passionately, Etania questioned why some women reject the act as “too much,” yet comfortably kneel in other moments of daily life especially behind closed doors in acts of intimacy.
“Because you lot are getting on your knees for some other business. And now you don’t want to kneel down to give your husband a plate of food,” Etania said.
She added that many women loudly claim, “I could never kneel for a man,” yet are comfortable kneeling in other private or playful situations.

“You kneel every day. But it’s on respect where you draw the line. It’s on the food where you don’t want to kneel,” she argued.
Etania also reflected on her upbringing, explaining that she grew up seeing her mother kneel for her father as part of cultural practice in a Buganda household.
“My mom is not Muganda, but she married into a Muganda family, and that’s how their culture is. If you want to kneel, kneel. If you don’t want, don’t. But let’s not pretend we’ve never been on our knees,” she said.
She went on to joke that some couples even kneel during role-play or games, yet suddenly reject kneeling as an expression of respect or affection when serving food.
In a light-hearted twist, Etania advised women dating men from cultures that value kneeling to use it strategically during disagreements.
“If he starts an argument, just kneel and say, ‘Baby, what’s wrong?’ He’ll forget everything,” she joked.
Her comments have apparently and quickly trended online, with social media users debating culture, respect, and double standards in modern relationships.
