A video circulated online showing a woman who allegedly poured hot water on her husband over an accusation of infidelity. The disturbing incident sparked widespread outrage and debate, with many users reacting emotionally to the act of violence.
Among the responses, another comment took a stereotyping turn, stating “Why are Igbo women so aggressive towards their husbands?” The remark shifted attention away from the individual involved and instead generalized the incident to an entire ethnic group. By linking one alleged act of domestic violence to Igbo women as a whole, the comment reinforced harmful ethnic and gender stereotypes rather than addressing the specific wrongdoing captured in the video.
