The comment, “With all this respect, she will fly for the night if she is a Benin woman,” is a troubling stereotype that unfairly associates Benin women with witchcraft. In response to a video showing a woman kneeling to present meals to her husband, this remark trivializes a cultural practice of respect by suggesting that it is linked to negative connotations.
By implying that all Edo Benin women are witches, the commenter promotes harmful misconceptions that can contribute to discrimination and misunderstanding. Such comments undermine the dignity of a community and distract from the positive values of respect and tradition depicted in the original video. It’s important to challenge these stereotypes and foster a more respectful understanding of cultural practices.
