A Nigerian woman sparked online reactions by renouncing feminism and returning to her previous lifestyle. She acknowledged that embracing feminist ideals created months of tension in her marriage to a Benin man.
Rejecting Feminist Identity
TikTok creator @an_gel52 surprised followers by publicly abandoning feminism. Her video quickly went viral, generating diverse responses.
Marital Discord from Feminism
She explained that household conflicts emerged after implementing feminist concepts from online sources. “I stopped posting here due to ongoing arguments with my husband. I refused to teach principles I couldn’t practice,” she stated.
Social media influenced her to experiment with these ideas at home. “I followed feminist creators extensively. I attempted to apply feminism domestically, forgetting my husband’s Benin heritage. This approach proved incompatible,” she admitted.
Social Media Withdrawal Reason
Guilt prompted her social media hiatus. She rejected preaching values she didn’t uphold privately. “My conscience prevented me from posting. How could I advocate submissiveness while practicing differently?” she questioned.
Reclaiming Original Identity
After months of strife, she discarded feminism. She told viewers the movement conflicted with her nature. “I’ve returned to my authentic self. Feminism proved ineffective for me. Submissiveness aligns better with my personality,” she declared.
Resuming Marital Guidance
She concluded by announcing her return to advising women. “I’ll resume teaching submissiveness and spousal harmony,” she promised.
