Juliet Ibrahim defends single mothers, says men are j**ks

Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim has expressed her sentiments on why people take delight in attacking single mothers like herself but doesn't mete out such attacks to men.

While decrying the rate at which single mothers are being attacked and relegated in the society, asked if men don’t deserve the same treatments.

The actress who is also a single mother of one said the society praises men for being jerks and adulteress, while the women are being looked down upon for ending the relationships, despite bearing their children.

She wrote

"Isn’t it funny how people seem to forget that there is no rewind button to undo everything that didn’t work out in our lives?

When I see the attacks on single mothers including myself It’s always mind-baffling, to be honest. So what is the decision-making sin that single mothers are so badly guilty of? Being single?! Suddenly, “Single mother” is defined as a woman  who’s bad and deserves bashing?!

If a single mother is not in a relationship, regard- less of the reason; she’s always to blame, yet we give men praises for being adulterers and jerks so long as he’s “good to his kids” .

If a man doesn’t get “tagged” or “bashed” for actually being at fault for why a relationship ended, why isn’t the  woman given the same leniency, even if why the relationship ended wasn’t her fault? Or maybe it was her fault but it was still for the best?

Telling my story soon enough. It’s about time.
