Every Feminist I Know Are Not Successful In Marriage - Oluwatoyinzoe

A recent post by a woman on X highlighted perceived double standards between men and feminists in relationships, stating, “If a husband loves and provides for his family, the ladies will be in support. But for her to be submissive has to be an episode.” This sparked debate on how gender roles and expectations are often perceived.

One user’s response, “Have never seen a feminist who is successful in marriage,” added fuel to the conversation, suggesting that feminism and marital success are incompatible. Such statements overlook the diversity within feminism and the many successful relationships feminists have built on mutual respect and equality. Comments like these can perpetuate the misconception that advocating for equality conflicts with family harmony, when, in fact, balanced partnerships can thrive on shared values and support for each other’s independence and ambitions.
