Somali dugsi makes you tougher and reinforces masculinity in the soft west
That being said I myself got beat very badly when I went to dugsi in Kenya and since there were no cell phone cameras in Africa 2004 there was no way to prove it .I beat him very badly when I became 15 for trying to touch my sister inappropriately.
I still remember the look on my moms face when i came back with a broken nose and blood all over my hands got sent back to America after that

I don’t think it’s misogyny, it’s plain old child abuse. Those macaalins beat the boys even worse sometimes. I used to get beat with a stick and even a wire. I had a macaalin beat me up like I was his age mate as a kid. I never told Abo though…. I thought it was normal.
However, in saying that I do find it interesting that Somalis aren’t softer on daughters. That’s what makes Somali misogyny very interesting. The men look down on women, see them as less than men, but they’ll be rough and beat little girls like they’re boys, when they’re older they’ll have no issues with them working or having businesses since they’ll tell them to help parents pay bills and or send remittance whilst saying they must be the ones to do all the cooking and cleaning. Fathers and brothers will be more than happy to take money off their daughters and get them to help with bills, whilst treating their sons like princesses. The Somali form of misogyny is to exploit women like a work mule whilst demeaning them in the process.
Whilst I don’t deem the actions of those dugsi Macaliins as misogynistic, but a form of child abuse, I do think beating girls like they’re boys is a great example of how Somalis see gender and when you assess the overall picture, you see how unique African form of misogyny is. Tbh, you also see this with working class South Asians.
