Nollywood actress and single mother of one, Uche Ogbodo has come for her colleague, Monalisa Chinda Coker over her stand on domestic violence!
Last week, Monalisa granted an interview saying “Women should also be blamed for domestic violence”.
Not happy with her opinion Uche Ogbodo took to her Instagram page to air her view. According to her, it can never be a woman’s fault
She wrote:
First of all, society looks down on women who
stay in abusive relationships and pities them for being “helpless” and
“weak.” Domestic violence victims can’t be categorized into a
stereotype, but range among all types of women. Yet society places a
specific insecure, weak, vulnerable woman into the category of most
likely to be in an abusive relationship.Rather than
ridicule or punish the man who commits the abuse, this wrong perception
will fault the woman for putting up with it because she possesses these
negative traits. Women are taught that it is our personality “traits”
that got us into this problem, and therefore we feel we must solve it.As
a result, women are quick to blame themselves for why our significant
other is acting so violently. We angered them, we upset them, we pushed
their buttons — but none of this is true. It shouldn’t matter what you
do or how you live your life, it is the man’s choice to react in a
violent or physical way.As little girls growing up,
we learn fast to always be aware and to always be afraid. Girls are
told to dress and act a certain way so as not to upset men, yet boys are
not lectured on how to react when angry or treat women respectfully. A
man’s anger is equal to his power, try and diminish it and you risk
emasculating him. It is this gender stereotype that makes it easy for
women to receive the blame for abusive relationships instead of the man.
