Nigerian Vocal Queen and Singer, Simisola Bolatito Ogunleye, popularly known as Simi, in an interview with Hip TV, said it is ridiculous that the society is harder on women who cheat.
She posited that if both parties cheat in a relationship, they are both scum saying men and women are equal and are supposed to value and be good to each other.
“Nobody is allowed to cheat in a relationship, but they do it anyways. If a man cheats, he’s scum, if a woman cheats, she’s scum. Obviously, people are harder on women, if it happens to a woman’’ she said.
“The society is harder on women who cheat, I think that is ridiculous.
‘’I feel like If you value what you have , If you value someone you are with, you are going to do your best to treat them right. It’s the same for both a guy and a girl.
“It’s a man’s world because we let it be a man’s world, It is not a man’s world because they have any special powers.
‘’It is not a woman’s world because we have any special powers, we are all supposed to be good to each other. I am supposed to value you as a man and you are supposed to value me as a woman’’ She concluded.
While Feminists over the ages have argued that men and women should be equal. Others have held that men and women are equal in certain aspects and not equal in other aspects. The later group will posit that while a man is considered irresponsible when he does not work hard to provide for his family, a woman is not held to the same standard. The question for intellectuals to answer is if faithfulness is something that the woman should be held to a higher standard on and why.
