A lady on X sparked controversy with her post: “Any unmarried man above 32 is a used product and is likely a problem. Dear women, stay safe.” The post led to numerous heated responses, with one comment emphasizing gendered double standards: “Now the man enter ein prime, the woman ein market value go dey depricate.”

This remark implies that while men reach their peak at 32, women’s worth declines drastically with age—a notion that is both sexist and reductive. It reduces individuals to “market value” based on age and gender, ignoring their character, achievements, and individuality. Comments like this perpetuate harmful societal pressures, reinforce outdated stereotypes, and trivialize the complexity of relationships, turning a personal opinion about men into a sweeping judgment about women.
