The group in an interview with Andrew Tandoh Adote host of Tonight show said, one of the ‘toxic narratives’ that got them started was the saying that ‘women are their own enemies’“You hardly even hear about people saying men are their own enemies when a fracas happen between two men but when it happens to women, heaven forbid women being able to have disagreement, it has to do with their gender” Amazing Grace noted. According to the ladies, that observation made them start a social media hashtag “men are their own enemies’ to throw more light on the issue and to flip the scriptsResponding to criticism that “pepperdem ministries” is too aggressive, the ladies questioned the premise of that notion. “This issue in itself is gendered, why men who are aggressive in their submission of views are hailed, In fact people are able to see beyond their aggressiveness and listen to them so why can’t they do same for women” Efe observed. “If I misbehave you won’t marry me and so what” Amazing Grace added.
