Did you leave your sense of humor in the toilet?

slimyem: I chose to not to comment on this thread intially because i'm tired of defending myself against all the prejudice,stereotyping and discrimination against women(one of the reason why i'm gradually packing up from the Romance section) which is basically what obtains on Nairaland these days.
This thread has given the word uninterested a different meaning which is unintelligent!!
Seriously?
One even said 99.9 percent of female Nairalanders are unintelligent..
I have availed myself in the politics section a few times especially when its issues surrounding my state which is what i'm more aware of and more interested in.I even challenged a male poster id withheld on his comments once and the only thing he had to say was "its okay that you do not agree with me.you are a woman!"
The chauvinism on here is unrivalled and it dampens one's spirit in every way.
I can only speak for myself and all i can say is i do not see the point in arguing and debating endlessly with people that see my gender first before seeing what my contribution is!

sanb: you've got fans girl and anyone who thinks that because you don't write all your phrases in the queen’s English language hence you're not intelligent should better think again...

spykid014: We're right here 0h.
Thing is, we're so busy with work nd all, we get home late, make dinner for husbands/bfs/children, chores. Women just have a lot to do everytime!

We sit back and observe. Lol.

What is the definition of IQ? And what does an IQ exam measure? I doubt it measures the ability of a Yoruba man to verbally attack a Hausa man, or an Igbo man, or a man of another tribe.

It is the same IQ you claim reigns in tribal arguments that George W Bush possesses. One can use big words and form arguments. It certainly doesn't mean that person is intelligent. Part of what makes a person intelligent is the ability to comprehend and to formulate ideas and express them in a precise and eloquent manner. By this definition, I've never seen intelligence in any tribal thread.

virgo: Dear Nairaland females, where are you all? A quick perusal of topics in different sections as well as the home page, show that the men participate more in discussions than us females. Nairaland is seriously beginning to feel like sausage factory. Even the ads on this website belong to male entrepreneurs. Seun has to do a Nairaland census to find out the ratio of men to women because the testosterone level on this website is alarming. If you are a female on Nairaland, please show yourselves.


Much love

Concerned Nairaland female.

lalaosky: Am so glad this topic made the front page and some guys didnt dissappoint with their chavunistic views..
So cos' a lady bases on the romance section, it now makes her unintelligent?..SMH...
Shymexx, i respect your opinion alot but you really disappointed me with your earlier crap!
(no pun intended)..
Some of this chavunistic guys joined nairaland soley on the purpose of wooing ladies and since the ladies couldn't pay any mind to them, they paint them as being lazy and other useless derogatory words the fools that do such use in describing them.
I am enraged that someone said idowu is not intelligent simply cos she is fun to be with...for that id!ot's info, i go die is buying costly cars right from his comedy/jokes!!..if he wasnt so stupid, he would have noticed the likes of ogugua,idowu,slimyem,freccocoa,kobojunkie,callotti,nayah,chaircover,jennykadry,goldieluks,sisi_kill(how i love this gurl's intelligence),shollypopz,OP and other fabolous gurls of NL(that i cant keep mentioning cos of time) that makes this place tick!!
We guys talk so much of politics yet we go home to meet our different wonderful spouses(romance section)...DOUBLE STANDARDS i tell ya!!
Last year, i gave my uncle an advice chaircover posted on thread which directly reflects what my uncle was passing through at that time with her new married wife..he heed my advice(chaircover's own by the way) and today, the marriage is still waxing strong!!.
I never gave kudos to chaircover but deep within me, i am forever indebted to her.
The only intelligence i see in the politics section is BIGOTRY and TRIBAL SLURS!!
Am a male but i rep the females' on this one

shymexx: I'm 'agent provocateur' and I see women are coming out to challenge my assertion... I'm loving it... Let's see more women in the politics and foreign affairs sections, I'm tired of seeing just Desola and Crayola1 in there...

Let's do this, strong black women - and challenge the status quo...I prefer female intellectuals, to their male counterparts... Females are emotional beings and they're naturally more sensitive to humanity....

*Back to bed*

shymexx: When I said 99% of the female posters on NL are not intellectuals/intelligent, a couple of people thought I was being cocky...

Most of the female posters on NL say things, I already know - we need some intelligent women on this forum... I visit a lot of forums and I see women hold their own in different subject matter - from politics, culture, foreign policy, military hardware, to sports. However, I'm yet to see that on NL, except last week when I saw Desola's back and forth with Gbawe. It's just shameful that most of the women on here only talk about celebrities, family, and romance - who cares about that??

I need some women up in here to stimulate me intellectually!!!

PS: Not kobojunkie's type of intelligence(pseudo-intellectual) - that thing just argues blindly with the same insane rhetorical crap... We need some female critical thinkers!!

sanb: @op... How is my home girl today? Hope you are doing good...well for me, the topic determines if I’ll make a contribution or not...if it interest me then I’ll make a comment otherwise I just read and pass!!!

Sometimes the male folks here on NL are quite aggressive and harsh (no offense to my great NL guys) just stating the home truth...but again sometimes it’s the time factor, work as well as other commitments. NL is a wonderful place to gain knowledge and I have learnt a lot from some of the credible advice that people give...
