I just saw a topic on the front page about a girl keeping her virginity till marriage to conform with broad expectations of good womanhood and I began to think, why?

How does our society perceive gender roles, sex and culture?

Are we evolving, or stuck with same ol way of thinking?

I wanna share a story about a female King Ahebi Ugbabe (female) who took advantage of a gender fluid Enugu-Ezike to become a King and was described as a King (not a Queen) because that institution never existed before her (so kingship couldn’t have been gendered in absentia).

If a female could perform a nongendered role of a King then, how open do you think Nigerians are to electing female leaders, or setting same standards for boys and girls.

Will Nigeria ever evolve past this circle? I fear my daughters might grow in a society gendered around masculinity.
