Sonia Chisom Chukwu, a Nigerian woman, has made public her choice to reject feminism, stating that she no longer wishes to take part in what she called an expanding culture of animosity and hostility between men and women.

Chukwu, who called herself a “proud pick-me woman,” claimed that her encounter with her biological father had contributed to her prior resentment of men.

She clarified that she later discovered that a number of men had supported and been kind to her at various times in her life.

Chukwu said in a long social media post that she had been “fighting because I was angry at my dad,” but that she had changed her mind after thinking back on the kind men who had helped her.

Read what she said below;

“I’m publicly denouncing Feminism!

“This world is becoming too toxic for us because we are busy h@ting and fighting each other! I’m a proud pick me woman. I no do again!

“We are all fighting from a place of pain, I’m fighting because I was angry at my dad! But I just realized that there a million and one Good and kind men out there!”

She went on to describe her husband as one of the good men in her life.

“My husband is one of them! He is a good man!

“He’s not perfect, has his flaws just like myself, However He’s a kind man!”

A taxi driver, her uncle Ifeanyi, her foster father Mr. Arthur Iloh, her best friend Barrister Onuora, Honourable Chima Obieze, and her older brother were among the men Chukwu named as having shown her care.

She also mentioned Daddy Joshua, her godfather, as another individual who had made a great difference on her life.

She claims that these encounters helped her recognise that her unfavourable attitudes about males had led her to ignore the men who had supported her.

Chukwu also related a personal story from 2018 in which she said that just before she was scheduled to take her WAEC exam, she almost died from a ruptured appendix.

She remembered that during that trying time, a number of men helped her.

She wrote:

“When I almost d!ed in 2018 as I was about to write my Waec because appendicitis ruptured in my stomach it was men that saved me.”

She said that the principal of St. Paul’s College Eke, Rev. Fr. Franklin Eze, was the one who covered both her hospital expenses and the cost of her WAEC exam.

She also mentioned the surgeon who performed the surgery, saying that he was considerate and nice to both her and her mother.

Chukwu also talked of how, when she was unable to walk, her foster father, Mr. Arthur Iloh, carried her on his back.

“He carried a grown woman like me on his Back in the middle of the night cos I couldn’t walk! He was there at the hospital till we were discharged, then took us Home.”
