She noted how when a man cheats, they say it’s a man’s world and expect everyone to applaud him

Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has claimed that the society praise men who cheat while women are shamed and judged.

She took to her Instagram to make the statement.

According to her, all who cheat should be made to face the consequences regardless of their gender.

She wrote: “When a man cheats, they say it’s a man’s world and expect you to applaud him, but if a woman cheats, the man must send you packing.

If the man allows you to stay, you must be in hell staying with him. I swear this life has no balance.

We live in a society filled with hypocrisy and inequality in gender rights.

Why is it that when a man cheats, he’s often met with a pat on the back and a ‘boys will be boys’ attitude? But when a woman cheats, she is shamed, judged, and often sent packing by her partner. Is this really the kind of society we want to live in, where double standards and hypocrisy reign supreme?

Cheating is cheating, regardless of gender! It’s time we stopped making excuses for those who break the trust and started promoting accountability and respect in all relationships. The same rules should apply to both mën and women. If you cheat, you should face the consequences.

But instead of fostering a culture of accountability, we often enable and excuse the behavior of those who cheat. We need to change this narrative and start valuing honesty, loyalty, and respect in our relationships.

Let’s stop the hypocrisy and start demanding better from ourselves and those around us.

In as much as I encourage the submissiveness of a woman to her man but cases of spousal infidelity must be judged and handled with equality. Mën and women are admirable creatures of God Almighty. No one is inferior to the other. Even the Oyibo wey una dey copy know this and dey careful”.
