A post circulated Rudeboy of PSquare’s statement where he spoke dismissively about feminists. In response, the lady who shared the post shifted focus from his argument to his appearance, mocking his hairline and captioning it with a jab suggesting that men fear aging more than women. This reframed the discussion from ideology to personal ridicule.
A comment under the post read: “If them call me old man na respect to me. If them call u old woman na insult to you.”
This response reinforces a harmful double standard around aging and gender. It normalizes the idea that aging elevates men socially while devaluing women, turning “old” into praise for men and shame for women. Instead of challenging the original mockery or engaging the feminist debate, the comment entrenches sexist cultural norms that tie a woman’s worth to youth while granting men dignity simply for aging.
