Lady stirs controversy as she opines marriage benefits men more
A lady has stirred debate online after openly sharing her thoughts on marriage and motherhood, arguing that men benefit more from the institution of marriage than women.
In a viral post, the woman reflected on her personal experience, saying it was only after getting married and having a child that she came to this realisation.
Lady on why marriage benefits men more
According to her, marriage places disproportionate expectations and burdens on women, ranging from domestic responsibilities to physical and emotional demands tied to childbirth.
She questioned societal narratives that describe children as blessings, wondering why something considered a blessing comes with significant pain, stress, and sacrifice, particularly for women.
Women as ‘tools’
The woman also raised concerns about bodily autonomy in marriage, suggesting that women often lose control over their own bodies once married.
Her comments further challenged traditional gender roles, as she asked what tangible benefits marriage offers women compared to men, and what responsibilities men truly shoulder within the union.
She said …
“It took me to get married and give birth to realize that men benefit more in marriage. You get married to a man and you become like a tool, they own your body. You cook and clean. They say children are blessings, something that is a blessing, should it stress you? Should it take you pains to bring the blessings into this life..whats the benefit of marriage to women? What does the man do?”
