Of Women and Career Preferences

(By Joy Isi Bewaji) – This meme is everywhere sha.
I have a problem with it, because it addresses absolutely nothing...
Just a vague idea of what a woman should do or be before greatness can be determined.
What is greatness anyway? How do we determine another woman's greatness?
This mission to drag all women into a boardroom has become ridiculous. Does she want to be in a boardroom?
We have moved from dragging women into kitchens, now that seems old-fashioned. The new trend is to create the desire to be room-ed away from the typical rooms suggested by society for women.
Why should it be ok for me to like boardroom activities, but not ok for the next women to like kitchen room activities without judgements?
We should not be tempted to design badges of greatness for women based on our own ideas of what greatness is.
Beyond the conventional utterances of Buhari... there is something great in being a housewife, working within the important rooms of kitchen, living room and the other room.
At the least, children are fed when a kitchen is put to good use.
