Simi has responded to those who criticized her for writing that “many of our parents raised their girls and let the boys raise themselves”, Oyogist.com reports.
The mother of one in her post on her Instastories earlier stated that more efforts are put in raising girls than boys.”If their boys fumble, they say boys will be boys. if girls fumble the exact fumble they say she is wayward or she wasn’t raised right”, she stated.
She further stated that the pressure to make decisions are more intense on girls than boys as society always tends to excuse the mistakes of boys as “boys will be boys”.
People had questioned her post, asking her why there are many wayward women if girls were indeed raised better.
The singer responded, pointing out that the same things women do that earn them the wayward tag, boys do it and they are hailed. “The things a woman will do and be called Olosho, men will do it and be hailed” Simi responds to critics of her previous post.
She added that the only time men say women have it easier is when they point out that women get favours for being beautiful. She then asked if it isn’t sad that women aren’t rewarded for their brilliance but because of how they look.
She further asked the men who were triggered by her post to assume they were treated the same way women were treated will he choose to be a man or a woman.
