The Problem With Modern Feminism

Sometimes, a simple story can illuminate truths that complex discussions fail to capture.

I recently heard a story about a Senegalese woman appalled by her aunt's traditional lifestyle in France. She thinks her aunt is living in the dark ages, but the reality is – she's as happy as can be. This little tale is a perfect snapshot of today's feminism losing its grip on reality.

And let's be real…

It's time to call it out.

I'm an “anti-feminist feminist” and a “conscious capitalist”.

And if that sounds like a contradiction to you, it's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

I'm all about giving people CHOICES.

Real choices… Not this boxed-in, one-size-fits-all nonsense that modern feminism is selling.

Let's get something straight.

Feminism 1.0 was groundbreaking, with women like Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti kicking butt and taking names. Then came the Gloria Steinem era – a real powerhouse of change. But fast-forward to now, and it's like feminism has gone off the rails, veering into a bizarre world where choice seems to mean conforming to a new set of rigid standards. No, thank you.

In my world, I embrace my roots, my choices, and yeah, I love running my kitchen at home. But I'm also calling the shots in the boardroom. It's not about sticking to traditions or breaking them – it's about making my own damn rules.

This isn't just about feminism. It’s about conscious capitalism too.

I'm standing for an Africa that rises through entrepreneurship, not handouts. It's about empowerment, not dependency. We're talking about creating real, lasting change, not just sticking a band-aid on the problem.

So, here's my question: has modern feminism lost its way? Become too fixated on winning a power struggle, much like the twisted paths of Marxism? We need to get back to the roots – real choice, real empowerment, not just empty slogans and social media activism.

Let's have a real conversation, one that’s as vibrant and uncompromising as the streets of Dakar.

Drop in your two cents.

Let's shake things up and get back to what REALLY matters!
