Being a woman in 2020 isn’t all bad. We have unprecedented access to information, we can reach out to those who need support, and we can speak out about the areas of inequity that persist.
I used to hear the vagina being referred to as ‘down there’, and I've found that not all women are actually comfortable saying 'vagina'. They refer to it as 'thingy'!
Does the vagina really snap back after childbirth? Doctors are always quick to reassure you that it does indeed go back to how it was originally - or close, at least!
I don’t think I’ve met a Nigerian who doesn’t frown upon abortion. But we don't applaud the women who choose to be single mothers either. Either way, the girls are seen as wayward.
It’s a different world we’re living in. Women are no longer expected to be superhumans who take care of every task and person in their home while holding down a job.
