    “I’d always dreamed of getting a college degree, but I got married right after high school. We started having children right away, so it wasn’t easy to convince my husband to let me study. The one time I tried to mention it, he immediately said ‘no.’ But a few years later..."pic.twitter.com/CRn2XOsjFv

        Women shouldn't have to ask permission to study n follow their dreams. Shouldn't have to wait til everyone's asleep 2 study or do anything for themselves.He is selfish, like many others. Unfortunately we normalize this, treat them like saints for "allowing" women to be something

        I really love when people dont get other countries' culture and start hating on everything. How about looking at the development in the man? He first told her no. Then let her take "a look" and after she got her degree he was "thrilled for her". Dont be so judgy you perfect ppl

        you're very sick for thinking the husband is right to have stalled his wife's growth for years due to this selfish and patriachial nature. what is wrong with you people? why should anyone be denied an education because of her gender?
