Genevieve couldn't say "we live in constant fear of SOME men", & i don't feel this generalises how many are seen, i didn't chose to be a man, the tittle MAN hasn't taken me anywhere in life, I'm just exsisting as Chiedochie Collins Elebor. cause if you tag me directly as a rapist

Saying “NOT ALL MEN” is just the same as saying “ALL LIVES MATTER”, both statements are true BUT very insensitive considering the matters on ground, I see absolutely nothing wrong with what Genevieve tweeted.

I agree with Genevieve's tweet 100%

I cannot remember one single day in my life I was not scared to walk alone at night because the guy coming towards me or the one behind me might try to rape, mug me or kill me.

Yes. We live in constant fear of men.

You lot are embrassing. Genevieve made a tweet about women living in fear of men and she’s being dragged for not saying “some men”.

Before you say "not all men" in response to Genevieve's tweet, just think from the perspective of a woman walking alone at night.

She can't identify which man around her is good or bad, so she has to treat every man as a potential predator?

Now you see what Genevieve meant

I see men have gone to build a tent under Genevieve’s post to show us what’s TRULY important to them. Not the rape that occurs, not the deaths, not their fellow men constantly putting women’s lives in dangers but being told that women are living in fear of men. WHERE IS THE LIE ?

Genevieve Nnaji and clout chasing has never and will never belong in the same sentence. She only spoke the truth; go figure!

An average Nigerian young lady starts walking fast if she's walking at 9pm and a guy is walking behind her.

She doesn't know if he's good or bad. She just wants some distance between them for safety reasons.
And you have a problem with Genevieve saying women live in fear of men?
