RE: Feminism Sunday: Feminism 101, With GIFs!

in #feminism6 years ago

Feminism isn't really accepted here in Africa, especially in Nigeria. With its diverse cultures that believe women should be hidden/quiet. I'm from the Igbo tribe and my fiancee @adedoyinwealth is from the Yoruba tribe. The Igbo people believe that women have no say in the family/society and the man has all authority and should be highly respected by women. Even if the boy is the last child out of 8 children, he would be the one to make decisions in his family.
So being engaged to a woman that is ready to argue for hours about women's rights and equality is amazing, as well as challenging.
I'd sure join your team soon.
Cheers man.

Sort:  

I started out fairly feminist, what with both my parents being medical doctors. But much of the credit for my ongoing journey of awareness has got to go to my SO, with whom I've been for 18 years now. She, too, will happily argue for justice and equality.

18yrs?, Wow, you guys have come a long way.
We hope to get married soon☺️.
Would keep you updated.
✌️
