I left my marriage because submission was an issue - Feminist Rene

Nigerian feminist, Rene Noire has stated that the reason why she left her marriage is because of submission.

Married to a husband whom she described as a wonderful man, Rene stated that she had to leave because marriage in today's society no longer appealed to her.

Taking to Twitter, she gave a list of the qualities she wants from her next husband and marriage.

She wrote: "All my life, I have made decisions based on what men would like, hair, clothes, weight, complexion too. I spoke less, lowered my voice, lost arguments on purpose. Then one day, I was 33, married and unhappy with a wonderful man. It wasn’t his fault; it wasn’t mine either but I Made the choice to be there, to be who society wanted me to be. I tried so hard but even with a wonderful man, marriage in this society no longer appealed to me. I wanted to be me! I wanted to be me so bad!

Made the choice to be there, to be who society wanted me to be. I tried so hard but even with a wonderful man, marriage in this society no longer appealed to me. I wanted to be me! I wanted to be me so bad!

I am goofy, playful, cheeky, unpredictable. I don’t fit in your definition of “ideal woman”. I’m a lot. I can be professional, sexy, seductive, serious, playful all at once or one at a time. I play by my rules! I will not be put in a box or told how to live my life. I wear my Heart on my sleeve, I want to fuck my man whenever and wherever I want. I want to be with someone who isn’t scared of my growth or worried about naysayers. I want a man who isn’t scared to create new rules with me. No religion, no culture ,no rules; just us. We would love

One another and love others too. Be good people and share our resources with the needy. Teach our kids to respect people and never see women as less. I want to be free with the love of my life. I am whole and will never let any man block my light !

THATS WHY IM SINGLE. !!!

I would rather be single.. With kids than be married or be with a man who sees me as less.

You see, I am not one of those women who’s scared of being alone. Loneliness comes and goes but you see peace of mind is priceless. My idea of happiness is not the same as yours. It’s hard to explain but once you

Start loving yourself, no one can outlove you. It’s a blessing and a curse but it’s worth it. My advice to young women is to do what makes them shine bright. Marriage is beautiful but it isn’t by force. Be selfish and think of your future. Yours and no one else. Men will come

After but till then just do you! Make decisions that suit you and your growth. If you want to be a housewife, do it cos that’s what you want. Society will try to direct and cage you but don’t let it. You will suffer the consequences alone and society will still judge you.

Life is short, every bit of it should be enjoyed. I hope you learn from me and hope life smiles at you".
