Research in geography and allied disciplines on gendered experiences in Africa have struggled to comprehend the nuances that make up young men's lifeworlds. Influenced by theoretical orientations in urban studies, which demonstrate how music offers a way to explore social dynamics in Africa, we examine the thoughts, actions, and experiences of male youth in Ghana using Guru's popular song “Boys abrƐ [Boys are tired].” Drawing on interviews and focus groups with young people in Accra, the empirical findings and analysis illustrate how the phrase “boys are tired,” and the dispositions it evokes, provides a subversive critique of and protest against the precariousness of contemporary Ghanaian urbanism. Problematically, “Boys are tired” also encourages the (re)calibration of gender relations on patriarchal terms. These insights extend debates around geographies of children and youth and gender relations in two novel ways. First, the vernacular of “tiredness” generates fresh theoretical perspectives on a wider set of questions about youth agency and contemporary gender relations, namely, how young people are implicated in the reproduction of patriarchy. Through doing so, we identify a set of troubling gender relations unfolding in Accra that are conceptualised as “retaliatory patriarchy” which has three constituent elements: entitlement, resentment, and obliviousness. Second, the paper detects reasons why young men in Accra are reluctant to support feminist action and suggests how to counter this trend. These findings support wider efforts, within and beyond the discipline, to better conceptualise and prevent the perpetuation of inequity and oppression along gendered lines.

男孩们累了！青年，城市斗争和报复父权制
有关非洲性别经历的地理研究和相关学科一直在努力理解构成年轻人生活世界的细微差别。受城市研究的理论取向的影响，这表明音乐如何为探索非洲的社会动力提供了一种方式，我们使用古鲁的流行歌曲“男孩厌倦”来研究加纳男性青年的思想，行为和经历。通过对阿克拉年轻人的访谈和焦点小组讨论，实证研究结果和分析说明了“男孩累了”这一短语及其引起的性情，对当代加纳的城市主义的the可危提出了颠覆性的批判和抗议。有问题的是，“男孩累了”也鼓励以父权制重新调整性别关系。这些见解以两种新颖的方式扩展了围绕儿童和青年地理以及性别关系的辩论。首先，“疲倦”的话语产生了关于青年代理和当代性别关系的广泛问题的新理论观点，即青年如何与父权制有关。通过这样做，我们确定了阿克拉正在发展的一系列令人困扰的性别关系，这些关系被概念化为“报复父权制”，它具有三个组成要素：应享权利，怨恨和遗忘。其次，本文找出了阿克拉年轻人不愿支持女权主义行动的原因，并提出了应对这种趋势的建议。这些发现为该学科内外的广泛努力提供了支持，
