Mwalimu Rachel: Women were not created to work hard, life forced them to
By Paulette Mboga, October 8, 2025Media personality Mwalimu Rachel has said that women were not created to work hard, arguing that life’s circumstances have pushed them into roles meant for men.
Speaking on the topic of gender and work on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, she said women were designed differently and that the pressures of modern life have forced them to take up responsibilities that go against their natural design.

“Biologically, psychologically, spiritually, any LY you can think of, women were not made to work hard. We were not made to work hard. Circumstances have forced us to take up this quite masculine role,” she said.
She explained that while women were meant to achieve and be creative, society has pushed them into competing in spaces that drain them. “We were meant to achieve, yes, but we were meant to be creatives. I keep on telling you, life is very spiritual. Uki learn hizi vitu utaelewa,” she said.
‘We wanted equality but went too far’
Mwalimu Rachel went on to say that the feminist push for equal rights, though well-intentioned, went too far and changed the balance that existed between men and women. She said that the original fight for women’s dignity and fairness turned into an extreme push that has now forced women into masculine energy.
“I still tell my auntie until today, mlienda sana. You were not meant to push that to such an extreme of equal rights and for us to now be the men in the workforce and everything,” she said.
According to her, women wanted decency and fairness, not to fully take on the struggles that men face daily in the name of equality. “We wanted decency but walienda sana. Wali overdo,” she added.
Mwalimu Rachel’s statement highlights her belief that women have a spiritual and creative role that society should respect. She said that life’s challenges, especially economic pressures, have forced women to take up difficult responsibilities that go against their ‘true nature’.
Her comments open up a conversation about the balance between gender equality and traditional gender roles, as well as the emotional and physical toll that comes with trying to fit into expectations that may not align with one’s natural design.
