If you’re a frequent social media user, you’ve probably seen the trending Twitter hashtag #MasculinitySaturday and #BetterTogether.
Eric Amunga, a medical consultant who goes by the handle @amerix, created the popular hashtag. He now garnered over 1m active followers on X formerly Twitter.
It intends to provide men with information and advice to help them navigate manhood. It also covers aspects of their lives that necessitate them standing up and taking charge.
His teachings cover a wide range of topics, including health and fitness, finance, romantic relationships, parenting, and other societal issues.
Every weekend, thousands of men flock to Amunga’s platform to hear his teachings, referring to themselves as ‘Students of Amerix.’
So on march 9th, 2022 in one of his teachings, Amerix asked men to ditch their beds and try sleeping on the floor.
“Sleep on the floor tonight. Share results tomorrow. Thank me later,” Amerix shared.
This didn’t go well with some of his followers, others claimed it is a death trap.
Here are some of the reactions from his post.
