Nollywood actress and film producer, Funke Akindele has shared her opinion on feminism and the role of women in society.
Gatekeepers News reports that the actress expressed her thoughts on the topic while addressing skit maker Kamo State and his wife in a video posted on her Snapchat story.
Funke said despite being a feminist, she does not encourage women to be disrespectful to their husbands.
The filmmaker said she doesn’t support the notion that women are the “weaker sex, but rather “strong and bold”.
She urged men to treat women “specially” and not confine them to traditional roles of being in the kitchen.
Funke said, “I’m a feminist but I do not support a woman disrespecting her husband. Do what is right.”
“I believe that we are not the weaker sex or vessel. Men are suppose to treat us specially and respect us. Men should not also feel that a woman belongs to the kitchen and can be talked to anyhow.”
“We women are strong, and bold. Also, our economic power is important that is why we should make sure we have the power and protect it so we can support our husbands.”
