Former President Barack Obama is annoyed with men.
The former president described his frustration with people who have a Y chromosome while encouraging more women to get involved in politics during a speaking engagement in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Wednesday.
“Men have been getting on my nerves lately,” he said. “Every day I read the newspaper, and I just think — brothers, what’s wrong with you guys? What’s wrong with us? We’re violent; we’re bullying. You know, just not handling our business. I think empowering more women on the continent, that right away is going to lead to some better policies.”

Obama took another jab at men a day earlier in remarks at the Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late anti-apartheid leader.
“History also shows the power of fear,” Obama told the crowd. “History shows the lasting hold of greed and the desire to dominate others in the minds of men. Especially men.”
