Award-winning filmmaker Funke Akindele has proudly declared herself a feminist, but with a crucial caveat: being a feminist doesn’t mean disrespecting one’s husband. In a viral video, Akindele emphasized the importance of earning respect and doing what’s right, rather than promoting disrespect.
Akindele stressed that men should treat women with respect and dignity, recognizing that women are not the weaker gender. She also highlighted the significance of women’s economic power, which enables them to support their families and maintain their independence.
The filmmaker encouraged women to be strong, bold, and independent, while also promoting healthy relationships built on mutual respect. Her message is clear: feminism is not about tearing others down, but about lifting oneself up and earning the respect one deserves.
As Akindele so eloquently put it, “I’m a feminist, but I don’t support a woman disrespecting her husband. Make sure you do what is right.” Her words have sparked a necessary conversation about what it means to be a feminist in today’s society.
