A lot of feminists came down hard on Ayesha for her tweets, but life coach Demetria Lucas D’Oyley feels like those who were the most offended were really just jealous and waiting to attack Ayesha.
She tells Ebony Magazine:
“Curry only commented on whom she shows her own lady parts. She noticed that a lot of people are wearing less, which is a fair observation. Again, she never said anything about anybody not mattering. She implied that her husband does to her. Shouldn’t he? I mean, he is her husband.
“I wonder if the real issue here isn’t just what Curry wrote but what Curry represents in our culture. She’s a young, Black, happily married mom of two. She and her media-friendly, Christian husband project what some might think of as the perfect relationship. They’re always posting goofy family videos of them loving on each other and the kids. She has something that a lot of people wish they had, and for that, some people have been looking for a reason not to like her. In some baffling way, they think that her recent set of tweets are a solid reason to rally against her and that doing so will hide their envy of her life.”
What are your thoughts?
I agree
I said this on the other post. Ayesha has the life a lot of women want. Let’s just keep it 100. They were just waiting to attack her.
All Ayesha did was give an opinion. I don’t know why it offended people.
The thing I don’t understand why it was such a big deal. She just said for her, she’s prefer to dress more conservatively and only her husband needs to see her goods. Nothing more, nothing less.
Like I said on the last post the more popular she becomes the more jealousy and criticism she will get it. Some people were just waiting to pounce on her.
I can’t even say this isn’t true.
People don’t have to have the same perspectives on fashion. Some like to be sexy and others conservative. It’s not that serious to me.
I see no lies.
UB thank you for posting this. It’s been something I’ve been thinking about since it happened because I just don’t feel what she tweeted warranted all the hate she received from other women. How can you be a feminist and in the next breath you verbally tear down another woman for not thinking the way you want her to? Isn’t feminism about women having choices? Isn’t what we should be striving for is women having the right to choose how we want to dress everyday? And like Queen already said, Ayesha never said she’s better than the women who choose to dress more provocatively. All she said is that for her, dressing conservatively is the right thing to do. It’s her own moral code. Every woman has a right to have our own moral code.
Well said.
I’m a feminist but I couldn’t get behind the outrage. It’s like being mad at women for deciding they feel more comfortable being covered up. Doesn’t make any sense to me. Now if she said dressing conservatively is the only way to get a man to marry you, then I would have a problem.
Nothing but the truth.
