Nigerian Men’s Definition Of A Strong Woman Is Long Suffering, Emotional Abuse And A High Tolerance Of Accepting Bad Behavior - Toke Makinwa

Popular OAP and vlogger, Toke Makinwa, has taken a swipe at Nigerian men, stating that according to them, the definition of a strong woman is ''long-suffering, emotional abuse and high tolerance of accepting bad behaviour''.

Toke shared this thought on her Twitter handle on Tuesday evening.

She Wrote;

''Nigerian men’s definition of a strong woman is long suffering, emotional abuse and a high tolerance of accepting bad behavior. You’ll hear them say “she turned the boy in me into a man”, that means her name is endurance, the woman has endured.

Society encourages that sort of narrative, women are seen as strong by the amount of BS she’s has to endure till the man was ready to give her peace. When they meet the women who stand up for themselves? Society labels them as wayward and too opinionated. Who is Society again?

They automatically think being alone at a certain age means you are miserable. Would you not rather be 55 and alone than enduring BS with someone? If that’s the definition of miserable, a beg which one will you rather be?''
