In a lengthy post, the actress argued that if men are often excused for infidelity because they are considered “polygamous by nature,” then women deserve the same understanding, forgiveness and grace.
She wrote in part:
“I AM VERY ANGRY THIS MORNING AND I PRAY THIS IS JUST JOKE AND A CONTENT……
LOOK IF MEN CAN BE EXCUSED BECAUSE THEY ARE ‘POLYGAMOUS BY NATURE,’ THEN WOMEN DESERVE THE SAME GRACE, THE SAME MERCY, AND THE SAME FORGIVENESS.
ENOUGH OF THIS GENDER INEQUALITY!!”
Rita maintained that, “FOR TOO LONG, SOCIETY HAS PREACHED ONE GOSPEL FOR MEN AND ANOTHER FOR WOMEN. WHEN A MAN IS UNFAITHFUL, MANY ARE QUICK TO CALL IT ‘HIS NATURE’ OR A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS, BUT WHEN A WOMAN COMMITS THE SAME OFFENCE, SHE IS BRANDED, CONDEMNED, AND OFTEN TOLD SHE NO LONGER DESERVES HER HOME.”
“IF INFIDELITY IS A SIN, THEN IT IS A SIN FOR BOTH. IF FORGIVENESS EXISTS, THEN IT SHOULD NOT BE RESERVED FOR ONE GENDER. JUSTICE THAT FAVOURS MEN WHILE CRUSHING WOMEN IS NOT JUSTICE, IT IS WITCHCRAFT.”
The actress further stressed that, “A MARRIAGE CANNOT BE BUILT ON A SYSTEM WHERE THE MAN IS EXPECTED TO BE UNDERSTOOD, WHILE THE WOMAN IS EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT. THAT IS NOT FAIRNESS; IT IS PARTIALITY.”
She concluded by insisting, “THE RULES OF MARRIAGE SHOULD NOT CHANGE BASED ON WHETHER THE OFFENDER IS WEARING TROUSERS OR A SKIRT. ACCOUNTABILITY MUST BE EQUAL. MERCY MUST BE EQUAL. DIGNITY MUST BE EQUAL.”
