"True feminists make the best wives, friends, sisters, and partners because they believe in fairness, respect, and empowerment for all.—feminism uplifts and it doesn’t tear down. I don’t understand the misconception about feminism and why quite alot of Nigeria men are against it. Is it that you want to oppress women?"

"Feminism has never been about disrespecting men."
