Let’s talk about the idea of women as breadwinners.

How can we get to the point where more people stop seeing money as a reason to have more power than your spouse in the relationship?

How do we get people to leave behind the idea that there MUST be a head of house, and instead consider cooperation and partnership with their spouse?

How do we make society more accepting of a woman being the breadwinner?

Let's talk about homes where the wife is the breadwinner.

How do things change when the wife is the one making more money, or making ALL the money?

And WHY do those things change? Is it because of the wife, or the husband, or both? Or is it due to external pressures and expectations?

Do we expect a level of humility from women with money, that we don’t expect from men with money?

Is there an extra level of subservience we expect from women to their husbands that we don’t expect from men to their wives?

Now I’m not saying anyone should lord it over anyone. Not husbands, and not wives. But I’m just asking: when it happens, do we shout more about wives doing it, than we do about husbands doing it? And if so, why?

On today's #TheGlassCeiling, look at this story:

"There was a lady who I wanted to come and work with us. But she didn't have an MBA. So included it in her offer letter.

She turned the offer down because her husband said that it would be bad for their marriage if she got a masters before him."

What do you think about her husband's reason?

What do you think of the wife's decision to give up the job?

We’re talking about situations where husbands see a wife’s continuing education or career advancement as a threat.

Why Are Women Getting Harassed For Wearing Abayas?

We’re talking about this because it’s happening right now, in different parts of Nigeria. I started noticing the discussion on social media about 3 weeks ago. Apparently, men of different ages are accosting abaya-wearing women in public.

They’re claiming that it’s not a decent way for a Muslim women to dress. She’s too exposed apparently. And these women are subjected to all kinds of assault: from heckling, to insults, to physical assault.
