When a woman is involved in an argument with a man, he slaps her, she feels the pain, yet they tell her, she provoked him. She should have been quiet, she should have been patient. She should apologize to him.
She get into an argument with a man, she slaps him, they say to her, she has no respect, no home training. She should have been quiet, she should have been patient. She should apologize to him.
Because she’s a woman, she doesn’t have a right to be angry. So, the degree of her innocence is directly proportional to the degree of her silence in the face of oppression and brutality. . .
Because she’s a woman, her husband cheats on her, she’s told to tolerate it in order to save her marriage. The barbaric and stupid excuse is that ''it is in their nature to cheat, she should slim down, dress better, cook better, pray harder and be more pleasant to him".
But when a woman cheats, and she’s called a whore, she has committed an abomination, she has no right to look elsewhere for the love and emotional support she lacks at home, she’s an irresponsible mother. So she’s sent packing, from the home they built together, with all her earthly possessions stuffed into a tiny box on her head. She’s henceforth forbidden from seeing her three older children, she’s even lucky to be allowed to go with her little baby still suckling on her breast.
Five years later, the little baby is tagged a bastard. Now, the woman’s new name is "after- four", because she’s a woman.
He is 30 years old and runs a company. He's tagged wonderful, hardworking, focused, career oriented, successful at a very young age.
She is 30 years old and she runs a company "Hmmm....she is not even married, she's unserious, she cannot order her priorities right, she’s a hustler, she loves money, let her go and get a husband oh…ashawo…”
I wonder if being successful has anything to do with a person's gender.
Because she’s a woman, therefore, she’s not allowed to have wits or be a prodigy; she cannot be financially buoyant, professionally successful or be treated with respect without a man beside her. Then she’s tagged a generous leg opener, "a runs girl". They never see the possibility that she actually had to go through ups and downs to get to where she is, because she’s a woman.
A man loses his wife to death and remarries a year after, he did the right thing, and he’s being praised and congratulated for moving on, and after all, life is for the living.
A woman loses her husband to death and remarries after 4years, "aaah…! So early? Are you sure she wasn't sleeping with that man even when her husband was alive? That was why she killed her husband. She's a witch! Because she's a woman.
Being a woman does not make her less human, women are to be loved and respected; always tell your woman that you love her.
THIS IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE WOMEN OUT THERE…
