The Kitchen Conundrum
Someone recently asked me what I think of the phrase
"No matter how educated a woman is, she will still end up in the kitchen".
Apparently as a socially liberal individual I was supposed to disagree with the phrase.
However thinking about it I realised that both people who are strongly wedded to women's rights and those of a more patriarchal bent would agree with the phrase.
The women's rights crowd will say that the above statement is true as it is the result of the compromises that women have to make in their lives no matter how educated.
The patriarchy crowd will say that the above statement is true because all women must put their families first no matter how educated.
I say finally something they can both agree on :D

Hmmm... True... We can agree on this... Not saying it is right, though.... One of those sad facts of life, particularly in Naija.
