A Twitter user by the name Chioma Agwuegbo has used the platform to question why people often bother themselves over a hardworking lady who’s not married. She used the opportuniy to express how it can be difficult being female, especially when you are expected to be married before a certain age.
Read her tweets below.
”You do brilliant work, hit milestones even you didn’t think you would hit, and all that matters to people who should fucking know better is that you’re working too hard and you’re not married. Absolutely crushing. Being female can be debilitating sometimes. The fact that everything a woman is, is doing, or will do ‘comes to nought’ because there’s a ticking clock and eggs that must be ‘fried’ at some point is definitely a downer. We perpetuate the stereotype of men being (or seeing themselves as) prizes when we create age blocs by which women are seen as ‘rottening fruit’ because they don’t have an ornament that for all intents and purposes, might end up becoming a shackle. We need to do better. People are generally the sum of all of their parts. Women too”.
