Nigerian media personality and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tolanibaj, has made a bold statement asserting that women are not meant to compete with men, thus distancing herself from the feminist movement.
Tolanibaj argues that while she respects women who choose to embrace feminism, she believes in embracing her femininity alongside men rather than constantly striving to surpass them in every aspect.
Tolanibaj believes that women are meant to be complementary to men rather than to be in direct competition with them.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate stated that, for the reasons mentioned above, she is unable to identify as a feminist.
In her words:
“I feel like women are not supposed to compete with men, they are just supposed to complement them. That’s why I can’t say I am a feminist because I don’t see how if a man is doing gra gra, as a woman I should be doing gra gra too”
