A TikToker who is now well known for her unconventional opinions on women has sparked social media outrage and applause from some, for saying feminists and feminism, hates holding women accountable.
Siphesihle ‘’Sihleeey’’ Ngxokwana, who is a viral sensation on TikTok, appeared this week as a guest on the YouTube podcast, The Penuel Show with Penuel Mlotshwa.
During the episode, Ngxokwana did not shy away from candidly speaking her mind about some of the choices made by women of this generation.
The 27-year-old has dedicated her TikTok page to ‘’bashing’’ women who use filters as well as their morals and values.
Ngxokwana shares that feminism is used to promote and normalise the modern day women, adding that feminism is an agenda to make women, men.
‘’I wish we could go back to women embracing their womanhood and not wanting to be like men,’’ she says.
The East Rand resident shared that she loves women but does not necessarily agree with how women carry themselves these days.
She adds that there is nothing hateful about her content as she does not hate women and loves being one herself.

She said she was from a Christian background, where she was raised to have different standards and moral compass when it comes to the outside world and outlook on life.
When asked where she gets the audacity to speak on the topics she tackles, she shares that her parents are a prime example of morality.
‘’Morals are not just a theory to me. I actually live it and have lived it my whole life, that’s why I have the audacity to say it’s possible,’’ she says.
She adds that some women do not know better but she advocates for the ones women that can always ‘’re-brand’’ and change their ways.
As a young person, she says she has also gotten herself into situations that were unnecessary and does not paint herself as a perfect person but takes accountability for all her choices, which is a quality other women lack.
‘’A lot of women think that if they take accountability that means men are free,’’ she says.
Ngxokwana uses her platform to show people that some of what has become social norms should not be normalised, like young girls watching shows such as ‘’This Body Works For Me’’ a provocative series that follows the lives of young women who work in the adult entertainment industry.
Ngxokwana wants to show girls and other young women that what they see on television should not be what they follow.
The social media reactions to Ngxokwana’s takes have been a mixture of applaud and disagreement from both women and men with some women saying she does not understand feminism and what it stands for.
