Answering Your Boyfriend Yes Sir Is An Indication Of Slavery - Onyekaozuru Ogwuegbulam

A man sharing a video of his girlfriend being obedient and understanding before heading to her hair appointment sparked controversy, particularly among women. One critical comment, “Why she come dey do like slave. She even say yes sir,” makes it seem wrong for a woman to show respect to her partner by using such language. The comment implies that being respectful is equivalent to being submissive in an unhealthy way.

However, equating respect with servitude can distort the dynamics of a healthy relationship. Mutual respect, including expressions like “yes sir,” should not be automatically viewed as oppressive or degrading. Each relationship has its unique way of communicating respect and affection, and dismissing it as servitude overlooks the individuality of partners’ choices and expressions of love.
