zboyd:

First, you no read well.

Second, pointing out men behaving badly is not man-hating - it's truth-telling.

Third, why would any good man object to criticisms aimed at bad men?

Fourth, squinting is just a step up from eyes closed.

Fifth, thanks for your opinion - it's well noted!

. Always complaining about men is not truthtelling, its an obsession, it invariably points to a fault in you rather than in the men you always complain about.... Your criticisms are not aimed at bad men, they are usually one sided, myopic postulations... Nd I squint because I am unsure of your intentions here.... Thanks...

lol...

Okay so what exactly is the purpose of the OP?
Listing ways to emasculate men or advising women against doing any of the things listed?

The title and first sentence contradict every other thing in that post.

@OP,

Good points

Lol! at NLers

bukatyne: @OP,

Good points

Lol! at NLers

Good points you want to try out OR good points to never try out?

I think this zboyd character needs to just state explicitly what the purpose of the post is.

.

scoop...? ... i will call this using bucket....


one can only scoop from the excess they have

only from examples relevant in their own lives

Ewuro1 these things happen everyday in Nigeria. Frustrated wives stay in the marriage because of the society, divorce is like a crime in Nigeria. Unlike in developed countries where once a party can't tolerate the other in marriage and has tried all possible avenues to make it work its divorce. Ours will preach endure.

Badt man

OP lives abroad hence my question.

Besides lets stop belittling Nigeria women to nothing, they have a choice to walk if it ain't working.

I dnt knw

You are right, they do but not every one in a bad marriage is brave enough to make that leap especially with the stigma they'll face as divorcees

Well that's too bad cos she laid her bed. Quantifying frustrated wives in Nigerian marriage to prove a point won't erase the fact that 'emasculating men' - OP ways , is pure evil and shouldn't be applaud.

True, its better to leave than to turn into a monster.

I thought the OP was clearing against it?

Seems like that at first read.

The OP was very clear on that

Sure you were not reading with some bias against the thread starter (if any)?

Well she's not entirely known to paint men in good light.

So you were biased.
Ahhaa

Well that's nairaland anyway. No one reads what you're saying at the moment. They read what they assume you mean. Because of their pre-formed ideas about how your mind works.

I guess you trying to pass a message to someone else other than me with the second part of your post huh?

I hardly ever assume, which is why my first post was a question for clarity....still, this doesn't negate the fact that the OP has a war she wages with all things male and African.

cococandy
admit wetin.. which bias.. abi no this OP?

Instead of writing posts exhorting women to exalt their man, this poster is writing posts on how to emasculate

Note the word is even written in quotes,,, basically even bringing into disrepute and negating the feelings of the man - that he should 'suck it up' like a real man right?

And you dear my friend have a very weird way of comprehending people. If I read you correctly,you're saying she's giving women tips on how to actually emasculate men rather than discouraging them from it?
If that's what you mean,all I can say is 'WOW

So someone who calls guys out frequently can't one day chose to call women out? Is that an impossiblity?

If your conclusion was based on the fact that the word emasculate was in quote,then it may be a wrong conclusion.
Emasculate is not a correct english word. I don't know about the OP but anytime I'm writing I put words like that in quote because my device gives me auto-correct on them.

My friend cococandy.... cococandy.. i love debating with you but at times...

i will only respond to two things in ur post

Try and understand others' posts before u just respond.. understand the nuances tooo

Emasculate is correct grammar...and the quotes are the killer\

e·mas·cu·late iˈmaskyəˌlāt/ verb
make (a person, idea, or piece of legislation) weaker or less effective.
"our winner-take-all elections emasculate fringe parties"
synonyms: weaken, enfeeble, debilitate, erode, undermine, cripple; More
deprive (a man) of his male role or identity.
"he feels emasculated because he cannot control his sons' behavior"
archaic
castrate (a man or male animal).



In English writing, quotation marks or inverted commas (informally referred to as quotes or speech marks) are punctuation marks surrounding a quotation, direct speech, or a literal title or name. Quotation marks can also be used to indicate a different meaning of a word or phrase other than the one typically associated with it and are often used to express irony. Quotation marks are sometimes used to provide emphasis, although this is usually considered incorrect

It depends on if you're on american or british english.
My device definitely gives me the autocorrect on it.
Which means that I'd put it in quote too if I was typing.

But I'm not saying that's why she did. I'm saying it could be. And I'm saying if that's why,then we can't use the quoted word to discredit the whole post.

Meanwhile I'm not good at nuances. So give it to me straight oga.

You ?.. trying to twist?... that u confessed you dont read posts but just the title...

You agree I have a point but dont want to admit

Lets agree to admit we each have points...


PS that word is english... not linked to US or UK eh?

Na wa for you o.
It was only on one thread I said I didn't read the post but only the topic. So now that's my style? Phew.

Anyway the thing is you haven't made your point clearly.
I think she's calling out women here.

But you think what?
I don't know what to admit to.
Is the problem the emasculate in quote or don't you agree with the body of the post?
If it was someone else would you see it that way?
Or because you don't believe she'll ever call out women you doubt if this one is sincere?

I think each post should be taken as it comes and not misinterpreted because of the posters history.
Which is what it seems you're doing and is wrong. That's all.

If I see your point and agree with it,I'll tell you..

When I'm typing my phone underlines incorrect words or those absent in it's dictionary.
Here's a screen shot from my phone to tell you that there could be a reason why that word is in quote and maybe not necessarily what you think.
I maybe wrong as to her reason why but I'm
Just saying give people the benefit of doubt ok?

Goodnight

hmm.. i have to applaud your sense of equitable consideration, though misplaced somewhat
But the loyalty counts
I hear you

Good debates today... some other day

njokusboy: . Always complaining about men is not truthtelling, its an obsession, it invariably points to a fault in you rather than in the men you always complain about.... Your criticisms are not aimed at bad men, they are usually one sided, myopic postulations... Nd I squint because I am unsure of your intentions here.... Thanks...

There are only TWO sides to a MAN COIN - good side - bad side - same for WOMAN COIN.

The only ones standing on their hind legs howling bloody murder are usually those who can't handle the truth about themselves (past or present) or those they know who are dirty birds. Why do SOME men start foaming at the mouth, at the very mention of the less than gentlemanly behavior exhibited by SOME of their fellow brothers, especially online? Very weird.

Ask yourself: Do good men call women nasty, degrading names, label them as liars, cast aspersions on their parents and heritage, insult their intelligence, aim vulgar remarks at them, talk under their dresses, call them lesbians, crazy, nutcase and everything in between - without knowing them from Eve? How many men hurling insults and invectives at women online would have the guts to bring that nonsense to them offline?

How many women do you know will jump to the defense of a sorry, trifling skank of a woman? She is who she is - true to her nature - and every woman knows her name.

The only intentions you should worry about are your own - whatever they are.

So please direct your squint elsewhere.

Go ride someone else's hindquarters!

What's good for the gander is good for the goose.

Over here...

We use quotation marks around a word or phrase that we see as slang or jargon:

Ex. The police were called to a "disturbance" - which in reality was a pretty big fight.

We also use quotation marks around a word or phrase that we want to make "special" in some way:

⦁Note that sometimes we use "italics" instead of quotation marks.

Emasculate, in this case, means emotional/mental castration - verbal abuse.

I enclosed "Emasculate" in quotation marks, because it is one of those special words used to describe the process of demeaning and belittling men.

Just like verbal abuse, from a man can destroy a woman's confidence - same goes for women who verbally abuse men, thereby, destroying their confidence.
