Nancy Isime’s recent revelation that she feels ready for marriage at 34 has triggered a wave of age-shaming and misogynistic reactions online. While many applauded her honesty and confidence, others attacked her using harmful narratives about women, age, and fertility.
One particularly harsh comment read: “A weak man will e ready to marry someone an inch to menopause.”
The remark reduces a woman’s value to her reproductive timeline, implying that marriage is only worthwhile if tied to youth and childbearing. Critics condemned the comment as ignorant and dehumanizing, noting that menopause is neither an insult nor a measure of worth.
Supporters of Nancy argued that marriage readiness is about emotional maturity, stability, and choice—not age-based panic. The backlash highlights how society continues to police women’s timelines while excusing men from similar scrutiny
