Television hostess, Gifty Anti has denied that she knelt before her husband in a now viral photograph that has resulted in many questioning her stance as a feminist.
The photo which shows Gifty Anti in an embrace with husband Nana Ansah Kwao was was met with a backlash on social media with many bloggers accusing her of abandoning her feminist ideals.
In a post on Instagram, Gifty Anti said such reports were motivated by persons who were scared by the growing feminist movement in the country.
She explained that contrary to the reports, the picture was captured on her birthday when she out of excitement hugged while seated on a stool.
She posted: "Well it seems the word FEMINISM and the coming up of young ladies joining the movement is scaring some people. "It was my birthday, 23rd January, 2017, and my husband gave me a stool. I was so excited and honored. He put me on the stool and I hugged him. "But well according to some bloggers, I was kneeling before my husband and so some feminists are 'heartbroken'. Lord have mercy".
Mrs Anti also stated that, there was nothing wrong with a wife kneeling before her husband.
"And by the way what if I was kneeling before my husband?(who is a chief too). Does it make me less of a feminist? Which feminist code does loving your husband break? My Name is Oheneyere Gifty Anti and yes I am a FEMINIST, married with many children," she added.

Hello big sister i respect you alot indeed you're the wife of the one of the big chief in Ghana please don't mind any one keep it up i really like you bless you.
Gifty should have ignored her critics and move on to enjoy her marriage. Her reaction has the potential of even injuring her sweet marriage. For there is an adage that "it is only a ***barred word*** who doesn't change his mind". She might have made some utterance out of ignorance before marriage but being married now has opened her eyes to mysterious things about marriage which she is now overwhelmed. Feminists are extremely selfish miscreants. They forget the honour ladies in relationships are privileged but not a right too. Well, alot more to write on but time. To me, her response shows that she have not yet come to the REAL TERMS of marriage evidenced in she still holding to her maiden name minus the husband's, camouflaged with Oheneyire.
what is if she did that? Is it a taboo .
I find this absurd . Want ego is eating us up, if she did kneel before her husband what's wrong with that? Don't men kneel all the time before their wives went they want to make love.. smh!,,,
@ Champion's Corner, this is the answer to your question. A feminist is a person who supports feminism.
Nanayere, Gifty,is there even a need to defend yourself ? What if you did? Is it a taboo for you? Assuming that would make you and your husband happy,what right have outsiders to nose into your affairs? Please, concentrate on what will make your marriage work and stop being influenced by those who have nowhere else to live than on social media .
who is a feminist any way?
you see, that is the reason why women are been divorced left and right because they think they are equally the same as men. Talking about feminism. If Gifty is preaching about feminism, she is looking at it in the form of a woman has every potential to become educated as a man and that woman should be granted the right of good job and remuneration as her fellow man. Look at how women who think they can rock shoulders with men marriages
So what is this about the woman and the husband? Everyday this and that. Why can't we have something better to talk about?
feminism? time will tell. when they get husbands their tone will change.
