Award-winning filmmaker, Funke Akindele has proudly declared she is a feminist, sharing thoughts on what it means to be a feminist in a viral video.
While offering advice in a video, Akindele emphasised that being a feminist is not about disrespecting one’s husband, but rather about earning respect and doing what is right.
Akindele stressed the importance of men treating women with respect and dignity, recognising that women are not the weaker gender.
She also highlighted the significance of women’s economic power, which enables them to support their families and maintain their independence.
She encouraged women to be strong, bold, and independent, while also promoting healthy relationships built on mutual respect.
She said: “I’m a feminist but I don’t support a woman disrespecting her husband. Make sure you do what is right.
“I believe that we are not the weaker gender. Men are supposed to treat women specially with respect. Also men should not feel a woman belongs to the kitchen and talked to anyhow.
“We women are strong, and bold. Our economic power is very important, that is why we should make sure we have the power and protect the power so we can support our husbands.”
