RE: Breaking the Silence: Challenging Societal Stigmas Surrounding Depression and Anxiety

Nice points raised here. I feel there is need to go in directions other than the cultural prototype, for my health's sake I will gladly ignore any belief that is glaringly detrimental to my mental health.

Recently, someone was talking about how men are expected to show love by footing bills of their spouse, and he even gave cultural backings to his claims. I only smiled and said nothing but wonder when love became a transaction.

As you stated in your interesting piece, some cultures are also against women. The best is to make informed decisions rather than base one's life on some cultural beliefs established by some men who are long gone from the current reality.

Nice writeup well done.

Sort:  

the funny part is that some women believe in this cultural stigma. The man should provide, and she's meant to do nothing. This is how bad the society is .

@fashtioluwa very true.. it's well..
