A Nigerian man provided a brief comparison of society’s double standards towards women in the area of separation.
He mentioned two separate situations in which a woman left her spouse because he was unable to give in a tweet.
He also cited an instance in which a man received care and attention not because he was a good spouse or father but rather because women looked after their husbands.

He made the observation that while society praised women when they did something to benefit the guy, it was always the male’s fault when things went wrong.
He argued that men were unfairly punished by society because of the double standards it maintained for women.
Society has double standards towards women
He wrote: “When a man is abandoned by his wife and children in moment of need, it’s because he wasn’t a good husband and father. But when a man is receiving attention & care, it’s because women always take care of their sick husbands. It’s no longer because he was a good husband & father.”
His post caused confusion as people tried to comprehend his perspective.
@TheBigMan2Pees asked that he explain further and he responded saying,
“I’m talking about Twitter standards from feminists and their allies. If a man is abandoned, feminists claim that he deserves it because he wasn’t a good man. When he’s taken care of, It’s no longer that he deserves it because he’s a good man rather that women are simply kind.”

Your femininity is your bragging right – Women advocate encourages females
Meanwhile, social media users reacted significantly to a Nigerian woman’s advice to women, “Your femininity is your bragging right.”
This was consistent with her line of thinking, which held that even though women did not make financial contributions, their capacity for nurturing was something to be proud of.
She accompanied the tweet with a video of a woman caring for her children and added a caption to support her argument.
