“Why you go dey quarrel with your helper?”
This comment implies that a man is justified in locking up foodstuffs during a quarrel, reducing a woman’s right to express her feelings in the relationship. Such thinking enforces unhealthy power dynamics, suggesting that the man’s role as a provider gives him control over basic needs. Relationships thrive on mutual respect, not punishment or dominance. Disputes should be resolved through communication, not actions that strip dignity or create dependency. Partnership means equality, not subjugation.
