Woman highlights discrepancies between how both genders are treated when visiting their prospective in-laws

X users are sharing their opinions on the expectations people have for women visiting their prospective in-laws.

This comes after clergy woman Funke Adejumo advised women on how to behave when visiting their in-laws (read here).

She asked them to kneel when greeting and remain kneeling until they are told to stand. She also advised them to avert their gaze and avoid looking their in-laws in the eyes.

When looking around at the house, she said they should move their eyes, not their necks, and when asked questions, they should give short answers.

After eating, she said the woman should take her plate to the kitchen and wash.

This has led to a debate as people question why women are expected to audition and serve when visiting their in-laws but men are doted on and served by their in-laws when they visit.

An X user has now shared her own experience, writing: “It’s actually irritating. I remember when my ex visited me at my Uncle’s place, I was so pissed at how they were all doting on him. When my brother brought his girlfriend to the same house, they told her to come and fry puff puff for a family function.”

She added: “In the evening after the entire family had eaten, they told her to wash plates. I had to ask them to leave her alone and did the dishes myself. What rubbish.”
