As a woman, here are some of the insults you accept as compliments.
True compliments recognizes you as a full human being, capable, thoughtful, intelligent, and self-aware, without reducing your value to how well you fit into some marriage role!
1. You're Beauty with brains.
Never allow a man say this statement to you without countering it or rejecting it
This statement is born out of the twisted assumption that women can not be both beautiful and brainy. And so a woman who’s both beautiful and brainy is an exception.
No woman should be termed ugly. Every women is beautiful, so using beauty with brains is an insult to all women!
Don’t accept this!
2. “Na man you be”.
This is an insult to women’s strength, resilience and tenacity. This is a back-handed compliment geared at undermining the value of a woman and equates a woman’s strength and achievements to just men.
It implies that strength, leadership, intelligence, or resilience belong to men, and that a woman displaying these traits has stepped out of her “natural” role. It shouldn’t be accepted because a woman does not need to be compared to a man to be worthy.
Strength is not male. Courage is not male. Competence is not male.
Women! You’re enough being a woman.
3 You think like a man.
They say this to praise logic, strategy, or emotional control and It suggests women are naturally irrational, emotional, or incapable of deep thinking, and that good thinking is male territory.
Women don’t “think like men.” Women think like women, and thinking well is a human trait, not a gendered one. Men don’t think better because they have a penis. As a matter of fact, some of them use their penis to think sef.
4. “You are not like other women”
