Why feminism is a problem in Africa




Most people think feminism is about women on board. While, Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. . Feminism is about having the guts, knowing what you stand for and knowing what you deserve and settling for nothing else. It's about being brave and beautiful at the same time.

 Women used to hide a lot of things in their hearts, back then they had no say but with feminism, they express themselves and they make their rights known. They are now able to resist exploitation and intimidation, sadly not all can stand up for their rights. Feminism needs to infiltrate its course. Feminism empowers women to be able to see that even though it's a man's world, women have a part of it too.

For instance, before feminism women had no voice. When we talk about feminism, we are talking about a certain type of cancer that is eating women from the inside. This is like a global warming. Feminism is the worst thing to happen to women. We are judged when we try to fight for our rights and freedom .People think we are stupid because we are women but let me get this right, a person becomes stupid when she or he is stupid. When I fight for my rights it doesn’t shows that am seeking for sympathy. No, it only shows that I know my rights.

As one of the feminist said, Birds are not shy of brokenness because nest are built of brokenness. Sometimes we are so dramatic such that we are driven by the movies we watch. Maybe we should start thinking the other way round. Ask yourself why movies uses hot guys in the movies. We at times talk negative about our men in our women clubs but it doesn’t mean you are a bad person.

It has reached a time where Women are now freaking out because men are not interested in marriage. We have people that support and criticize feminism for it has exposed true female nature for what it is Feminism has chained women to jobs they were not allowed to do back then and recognized single motherhood. 


As most men say, Feminism isn't about equality due to some of the feminist demands for something which is generally female-oriented or leans in the benefit of being a women. In many case women are considered to be a weak species. People say it’s so bad to show emotions. But women are not only allowed to cry but they are expected to cry. This is so true and feminism is trying to fight to change this.

Gender equality should be emphasized, it's said that women can't hold some positions of office simply because they are women, such lame excuses are to be discouraged. Feminism advocates for equal opportunities without discrimination, in the marketplace, in white collar jobs, in the industries and even in leadership positions. Women should be voted in for parliamentary seats, they should have be in charge of major ministries. Major ones and not those considered "weak." Women. Voices should be heard and given the attention it deserves.
