A TikTok video of a woman expressing a desire for a partner who would “beat her when she is wrong” attracted a comment saying, “From your mouth to God’s ear, that thing wey you dey find, you go see am.” This remark, essentially wishing harm upon her, underscores a misguided approach that trivializes serious issues within relationships.
Such comments miss an opportunity to encourage healthier perspectives and instead affirm dangerous preferences, treating abuse as a joke rather than the red flag it truly is. Normalizing violence as a “preference” not only perpetuates cycles of abuse but also devalues the importance of safe, respectful partnerships. Society benefits when we promote self-worth and redefine “love” to prioritize care, understanding, and safety.
