I belong to some Christian ladies group on Facebook. And we all know where there are plenty women......
So a lady posted something I would call a list of instruction for women to follow. In summary, it says to make our homes lovely, peAceful, welcoming etc for our man. And that we should listen to him, cook, take care of him, stroke his ego and all the plenty instructions women are bombarded with on marriage.
See vexing for comments o! I thot it was only feminist me wey dey always vex for that kain mata, I get senior vexers o!
The author spoilt the whole matter when she added that if u dont do all those, there are other women waiting to do all those things and more.
BULLSHIT!
That very phrase is one of the reasons marriages don't work. Because we feel the need to eat shit so we can remain mrs somebody. Iranu oshi.
You should have seen the way my eyes rolled to the back of my head.
I know this issue gets an over flogging every other day but it annoys me each passing moment.
Most marriage seminars, counselling sessions and the likes seem to focus on how marriage can be convenient for men. It's always women, women and women all the frigging time! Every erring man and women who validate crap is quick to wave the a-wise-woman-builds-her-home magic wand, the defence seems to work every time anyway.
How about reminding the man to do his part all the time? To remind men that it takes 2 willing people not one enslaved woman to make marriage work?
Women are expected to always be understanding, manage funds, work and still be super moms and wives. You expect me to go to work, face 3 times the kind of crap that comes your way cos am just a woman and still expect me to always be ready to give you a warm hug and kiss, great meal, clean home and kids, fuck like a minx (pardon the French) and always be good in every aspect. So who takes care of me?
If marriage were about men jumping to the next woman who can do better then no man will be married cos there will always be someone better than u in one aspect.
And no, this is not my excuse from performing my wifely duties or becoming the Proverbs 31 woman. Even she wasn't super woman cos the bible implied she had maidservants. That's why she didn't die in the process of becoming that woman.
Dare I also imply that her husband was a fine man who didn't threaten her with a 2nd wife and didn't give her crap. It's only fair since she's perfect, she must have had a perfect man too, abi nah.
As for me, I'd love to be tis woman as long as hubby is ready to be that man who worths her. Yep I said it. No, I didn't backslide. I'm just a woman tired of reading these plenty instructions.
Signed on behalf of angry women. Endorse if you are tired of these bull crap.
