Dear men, let’s get one thing straight — the idea that you have a right over a woman’s body simply because you are her boyfriend, husband, or admirer is completely false. It’s a lie rooted in outdated patriarchy, toxic entitlement, and deep misunderstanding of what relationships and consent truly mean.
Many men have grown up in cultures where dominance is mistaken for leadership, and control is confused with love. We’ve been taught, directly or indirectly, that once a woman agrees to be with you, she owes you physical access. That mindset is not only dangerous — it’s dehumanising.
A woman’s body belongs to her. Consent is not a one-time checkbox; it is continuous, conscious, and can be withdrawn at any moment. Being in a relationship does not mean ownership. Marriage is not a license to demand sex or affection. Respect begins with understanding that her body, thoughts, and decisions are her own — always.
Let’s be real — if a man constantly feels the need to assert power or guilt his partner into intimacy, that’s not love. That’s coercion. And in many cases, it borders on abuse.
We must unlearn the toxic masculinity that celebrates dominance and start embracing emotional maturity, respect, and partnership. Real masculinity is not about control; it’s about mutual respect, boundaries, and honouring a woman’s autonomy.
So, dear men, if someone told you that you are entitled to a woman’s body, they lied. What you are entitled to — if you’ve earned it — is her trust, her respect, and her love. And even then, those are gifts, not guarantees.
Let’s raise the bar. Respect her, or leave her alone. Period.
