souldust: my dear, i support all the things good feminists agitate for but some people have given the movement a bad name. I think it is so so unfair to the genuine cause some of them are fighting. You echoed my thoughts exactly Mr. |

Afam4eva:Are you an Idiot??!! Of course, there are women that earn more than men if they are in better positions or higher paying jobs. A female computer scientist is going to earn more than a male mechanic, you mor0n! I said counterparts, meaning women in the same workplace doing the same job as a man and earning less than he does. Nigerians don't see male children as been better. It's just that they always strive to get at least one male child to continue with the name of the family. A woman gets married off anyways.LMAO!! You just shot yourself in the foot. I'm so disappointed cos I truly feel like I'm talking to a f00l. You just listed why males are viewed as more important than females and then you complain about people that are trying to remove the factors you mentioned above. The question I would want you to ask yourself which I'm def sure you already know the answer to, is: Why is the male child the one allowed to carry the name of the family?? Why aren't you in support of women that also want to carry on the names of their families?? Don't you think that if equality truly exists, both children would be given a chance to choose whether they want to carry on their father's names or not?? How come that what you listed above hasn't had any influence on how a female child or male child is viewed?? I mean, for God sake! Look @ what you just wrote to me while telling me that there is gender equality. "A woman gets married off anyway". What sort of gender equality exists when women gets sold to males like a piece of property. And how does that make them equal to the opposite gender?? Biologically, men have more physical strength than women. No one is disputing that. Therefore women become easier targets to troubled souls. If you look @ statistics of r*ape victims, women are obviously the one suffering more from this. This is the only explanation I can give on why it might appears than when we talk of rape victims, we think women. I believe that a wife that rapes her husband, deserves to be jailed. I am for gender equality not for female superiority. What's wrong with gender roles? Isn't it common sense that since men are stronger physically and women are more multi-tasking, that they will fit into roles that require these strengths?The issue with what you have above is the modern society. Earning a living doesn't require physical strength anymore as it does acquired skill, and brain power. I'm so mad that I'm talking to you and I have to be telling you the obvious. Women are not born with an innate power to cook, do the laundry, wash the bathrooms or lay the bed. There is nothing in our genes or organs that make us any better than men in doing those things I've listed. Why should financial provision rest solely on the man?? What gave rise to these whole feminist BS is that women want to take up roles masculine roles instead of sticking with their roles as women. Very soon women will start saying it's gender inequality not to have d1cks like their husbands.D1cks doesn't make you any powerful than women. In fact based on history, most men that made decision with their d1cks got themselves in serious trouble, so permit me to say d1cks only makes you weaker than the female race. 8 Likes |

carefreewannabe: It's wrong to say feminists can't marry and that this is a contradiction. Check the definition of feminism. it then begs the question - which man in his right senses would put up with a feminist and marry her? how long before the marriage khaputs? feminism is just communism in thongs....feminism has turned women into men and i don't want to marry a man. in other words, feminists should forget about getting married! it defeats their purpose.... 2 Likes |

Afam4eva: It beats me why humans just like causing confusion. We were created as tribes and as if that was not enough, people started creating religion. As if that was not enough, women started asserting themselves in the most stup1d ways. As if that's not enough, one day we'll have children fighting for their rights from their parents. Kai.THEY HAVE ALREADY STARTED FIGHTING O! E B LIKE SAY NA VILLAGE WE GO RAISE OUR CHILDREN! |

Shollypopz:Go and sit down Both men and women get what they are qualified for. How do they still see male children better than the female. One fact here is since women have been enancipated in the western, have they been able to beat the strides of men. What is marital rape? What is gender roles? Why do some women deceive themselves. Ok tell me u and ur brother are at home and what to go out but the car has a fldt tyre, who will change? I am 100% sure that if he ask u to change it, u will him its men's job 1 Like |

ekwah:Gender role limits individualism. It is not only unfair to women but also to men. As a child, gender roles places limitations on what they can do and how they want to express themselves. I chose to focus on women because this thread and my reply to Afam is focused on feminists. Gender role can also lead to an unfair and unequal balance in roles taken on by both genders in homes. |

coogar: To your first question: Men are different and so they have different preferences. Many men would NOT mind marrying a Feminist. In fact, they would prefer to marry one. It doesn't mean these men are out of their minds. Some men just prefer Independent women who are into politics and who have big ambitions when it comes to their careers, women who have an opinion, women who want to be active and contribute to the family's income. Feminism is not communism. Communism is based on the principle that everyone is equal. Feminism is based on the conviction that every woman is different. Consequently, some women are more family - oriented whereas others are more career - oriented, yet others want to have it all, career and family life. It's all about the FREEDOM to choose. Let women who want to be stay-in-home mums, be, and let women who are not meant to raise 5 children and do housework all day Long, do something else. Everyone should have the freedom to choose according to his interest and abilities. Look, I DO consider myself a feminist, in the sense, that I am convinced that women should be EQUAL before the law and enjoy the same rights as men and be valued like men and I claim that I'm one of the most FEMALE creatures on earth. I have not turned out to be like a man. I am simply me, carefreewannbe, a NATURAL woman and happy about it. I enjoy it so much. It may come as a shock to but I love keeping the house warm, clean and comfy, I love cooking, I love Shopping and Fashion, I do my nails ...... and guess what, I'm interested in men. I am really sad you have so many prejudices against the feminist movement which is also meant to serve your (future) daughters' safety and freedom. 3 Likes |

Isn't marriage supposed to be a personal agreement between just two people?? Why should whatever two people decide to do affect anybody? Its all about personal preferences. She didn't force you to marry her, if you don't agree with her own perspective on how the marriage should be run just shut up and leave her alone, its that simple, someone out there will definitely marry her with all her conditions, even though I agree some of the conditions stated are laughable. Why would anyone take opinions from a survey of just 200 brides serious anyway?? 3 Likes |

Witty07:As I replied someone earlier on this thread, save yourself from appearing silly by taking a few min out of your time to Google whatever I've written before calling it false. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-06-21/equal-pay-plaintiffs-burden-of-proof http://www.catalyst.org/knowledge/womens-earnings-and-income Marital rape is a non-consensual sexx in which the perpetrator is the victim's spouse. Gender roles is a set of social and behavioral norms that are generally considered appropriate for either a man or a woman in a social or interpersonal relationship. I don't have a brother. I have always taken care of my car issues myself. I don't go around labeling things as a man's job, just because I'm too lazy to do it myself. 4 Likes |

Omo_Alata: how can you fight for women's rights and then marry when the tenets of being married as a woman is submission, obey and honour? why don't you people start fighting for body modification altogether? let everyone(both male and female) choose a neutral body features: same number of ribs, same brain size and 2 pairs of succulent brëasts for men so we can also be sharing the chore of breästfeeding our children 2 Likes |

coogar: Like I said, men are different and so NOT every man wants to have a submissive woman. Apart from that, NOT everyone is a Christian ... so it doesn't concerm him / her what the Bible says about sumission. When we talk about the Bible, by the way, don't Forget what the Bible REQUIRES of husbands to make the picture complete. Please, there is no Need to be paranoiac, feminism is not aiming at changing the natural body and biology. Relax a lil bit. 1 Like |
