UrbanDox is a conspiracy theorist and a major figure among men’s rights groups. UrbanDox gives an interview with Tunde in which he confesses that he believes the women will eventually try to kill most of the men because they don’t need as many women as men to continue the human race. Tunde is deeply skeptical of UrbanDox, particularly because his manifestos are often used by male terrorist groups as motivation to carry out bombings and other terrorist acts. Towards the end of the novel, Tunde becomes especially resentful of UrbanDox because he diverts attention and causes people to focus on the extremist side of men’s rights groups and ignore the actual injustices that are befalling men in Bessapara.
