Toke Makinwa Nigerian media personality, has revealed in her own point of view the definition of a strong woman as perceived by Nigerian men.
According to Toke, the Nigerian men define such women as those who are of ”long-suffering, suffered emotional abuse and totally have a high tolerance of accepting bad behaviors.
Toke shared this thought on her Twitter Yesterday evening.
She wrote;
”Nigerian men’s definition of a strong woman is long suffering, emotional abuse and a high tolerance of accepting bad behavior. You’ll hear them say “she turned the boy in me into a man”, that means her name is endurance, the woman has endured.
Society at large is not left out, as they encourage that sort of narrative, she added
“women are seen as strong by the amount of BS she’s has to endure till the man was ready to give her peace. When they meet the women who stand up for themselves? Society labels them as wayward and too opinionated. Who is Society again?
