The Intersection of Feminism and Marriage Values
Nigerian actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has publicly identified herself as a feminist but emphasizes that this does not condone women disrespecting their husbands. In a recent video, Akindele stated, “I’m a feminist but I don’t support a woman disrespecting her husband. Do what is right.”
She advocates for mutual respect in marriages, urging men to treat women specially and not confine them to traditional roles. Akindele also highlights the importance of women’s economic empowerment, encouraging women to achieve financial independence to support their families effectively.
