A recent post revealed that the NDLEA is reviewing its controversial requirement for married women to obtain their husbands’ approval to travel abroad. This prompted a user to emphasize the importance of feminism, stating, “This is why we need feminism; if we don’t speak up, nonsense like this will continue.” This sentiment highlights the crucial role advocacy plays in challenging oppressive policies.
In response, a comment dismissing feminism with “fuck feminism” reflects a common backlash against the movement. Such reactions often stem from misunderstandings about feminism and its goals. Instead of resorting to hostility, it’s important to engage in constructive dialogue that promotes a deeper understanding of feminism’s aim to create a more equitable society for all individuals, regardless of gender.
