A Muslim woman’s tweet has gone viral after she humorously challenged gender stereotypes.
Gulbahar, a 20-year-old student in London responded to a tweet by Twitter user @Miiss_Liimzaay who asked her followers to share what they fear most in marriage.
Gulbahar responded, “To come home all tired and see my husband hasn’t cooked dinner yet.”
Following a mixed reaction, she followed that with the tweet, “Dear all men who are hurt by this tweet; you’re right he shouldn’t cook, he should also have the laundry done.”
The tweet has been retweeted over 26k times and liked 32k times.
What is your biggest fear in marriage?
