This Woman Is Trending Online For Her Heartfelt Tweets On Raising A Boy Child
A twitter user who goes by the name, Ayodele Olofintuade is trending online at the moment because of the series of tweets which she dropped relating to raising the boy child.
According to the single mother, she and her son face criticisms from both sexes on a daily basis because she brought up her son to respect women and not believe that women deserve less.
She went on to give instances of situations where her boy had been called effeminate because he did not live up to the standards of what people felt a boy should be.
Below are some of her tweets
One day I’ll talk about my journey as a single parent trying to raise two feminist sons and how the society is trying to fuck with their heads.

While in secondary school, my older son decided to drop subjects he really wouldn’t need in the Uni and pick those that can make his grades look really good

One of the subjects he picked was food and nutrition. The day after he resumed for the class I got a call from his school.

When I got there thinking the boy had done something terrible, I was informed that I needed to see the school counselor. I went to her office only for her to tell me that my son picked food and nutrition.

I waited for the punchline and got none. Does this mean that the boy won’t be able to apply to a uni? No. Is there a law against an art student picking food and nutrition? No. So madam what’s the problem?

Don’t get me started on the number of times I had to go to that school and inform them that they should put my fucking name on his school fees receipt because I’m the one paying the damn school fees.

Food and nutrition is for girls. I swear I was so fucking mad! The funny thing was that after Alex joined the food and nutrition class more boys joined the class too. Yes he scored an A in the subject because… Why not?

The principal told my son that he’s going to be a failure and a dropout because he’s being raised by an unholy single parent. I enjoyed the shock on his face the day I went to pick Alex’s original WAEC result so he can submit it to his uni

The Boy was trying to date a girl in his uni and she turned him down, why? Because he doesn’t behave like other boys, he’s always asking about feelings instead of just taking what he wants. He’s not ‘rough”enough.

The one that stood out for the eight year old was when he was asked to write an essay on ‘my family’ which included “the roles of a mother and a father’. The boy cried back from school because the teacher gave him zero.
