Genevieve couldn't say "we live in constant fear of SOME men", & i don't feel this generalises how many are seen, i didn't chose to be a man, the tittle MAN hasn't taken me anywhere in life, I'm just exsisting as Chiedochie Collins Elebor. cause if you tag me directly as a rapist

Saying “NOT ALL MEN” is just the same as saying “ALL LIVES MATTER”, both statements are true BUT very insensitive considering the matters on ground, I see absolutely nothing wrong with what Genevieve tweeted.

Not all men have common sense otherwise they wont have attacked Genevieve, cos common sense would have told them that she cannot refer to all men but she generalized by saying "Women are living in constant fear of men" – That is becos she cannot know which is a Rapist or not..!

Twitter users are exceptional at missing the point of pressing issues. I have never seen a better set of nitpickers in my life. A girl was raped and murdered, you’re worried about what Genevieve said about your gender. Are you the class rep of your gender?

I agree with Genevieve's tweet 100%

I cannot remember one single day in my life I was not scared to walk alone at night because the guy coming towards me or the one behind me might try to rape, mug me or kill me.

Yes. We live in constant fear of men.

You lot are embrassing. Genevieve made a tweet about women living in fear of men and she’s being dragged for not saying “some men”.

If you have a problem with Genevieve's tweet you're a RAPIST!
How can you say constant fear of some men? OGA THEY FEAR US CAUSE STUPID MEN LIKE YOU KEEP SEXUALLY ASSAULTING THEM.

Before you say "not all men" in response to Genevieve's tweet, just think from the perspective of a woman walking alone at night.

She can't identify which man around her is good or bad, so she has to treat every man as a potential predator?

Now you see what Genevieve meant

I see men have gone to build a tent under Genevieve’s post to show us what’s TRULY important to them. Not the rape that occurs, not the deaths, not their fellow men constantly putting women’s lives in dangers but being told that women are living in fear of men. WHERE IS THE LIE ?

Genevieve Nnaji and clout chasing has never and will never belong in the same sentence. She only spoke the truth; go figure!

An average Nigerian young lady starts walking fast if she's walking at 9pm and a guy is walking behind her.

She doesn't know if he's good or bad. She just wants some distance between them for safety reasons.
And you have a problem with Genevieve saying women live in fear of men?

Genevieve Nnaji made a tweet about women living in constant fear of men after uwa's death and men are there shouting "NOT ALL MEN!!" "BAD MEN" instead of facing the actual issue at hand. Nawao we'll be here for a while
