Kwasi Kwarteng, Education Ministry spokeswoman, accused ace broadcaster Oheneyere Gifty Anti of ruining young women who listened to her feminist teachings.
According to him, her audience who heeded her advice on women empowerment began unhealthy competition with men which collapsed their homes and marriages.
On Wednesday, he wrote on Facebook that the former news presenter pushed her followers to eschew marriage and concentrate on their jobs, only to do the reverse.
He calls this a “betrayal” that she must fix by training women to combine work goals with other priorities.

“Sadly, you have reduced life to a competition between men and women. In your attempt to help young women find their identity, you erroneously created an impression as if the only thing they need in this world is their career and that life is all about how they can be better than men”, he said.
Mr. Kwarteng continued, “Young women were told the only important variable necessary for their development was their career and nothing else. Today, you betrayed the very principles you stood for.
“I wish you have the courage to re-educate them that a well-balanced aggregation of family, marriage & career is equally vital to one’s identity. And that they can still get to the top without seeing men as their competitors”.
“To over-emphasize career at the altar of others has proven to be consequentially unfulfilling, especially in a world where our identity is largely corporate and shaped by society”, Kwasi Kwarteng concluded.
Mr. Kwarteng made these remarks in reaction to a publication in which Oheneyere Gifty Anti (formerly Gifty Anti) is reported to have said that ‘Every man is afraid of a powerful woman’.
According to Mr. Kwarteng, her comment, in addition to similar remarks in the past has doomed many women who were wrongly inspired to compete with men, in ways that affected their relationships.

However, the star broadcaster claims she would not comment to the Education Ministry spokeswoman and other social media critics on feminism.
The feminist says she won’t reply to social media criticism even though she’s enthusiastic about women’s liberation.
Speaking in an interview with JoyNews’ Paa Kwesi Schandorf on Wednesday, she stated that she stands by her assertion that men fear women with power, but won’t respond to critics on social media.
