crunchyg: Yea I agree with you, girls of these days lacks respect. I am really SMH for all the ladies more especially all these immature girls on Nairaland. Please some one should help me. How can I post on Nairaland for my post to get to front page? Lol, There is No special way your post get to Front page. You just have to nick a spot in the topic before the first page gets Full. I myself dont get a Damm if my post hits FP. I just make my Point and Go away. As for the Topic, we're confusing Feminism with women who want equal right, Women who hate men and those straight ones who aint Satisfied with the treatment from their spouse. Its just an Ill of the mordern world. |

Tallesty1: Ok....... But the problem African men have is not these women that clamour for equality. My wife is not my slave, she is my body and deserves every respect. Our real problem is feminism. I know it may sound funny to hear that I'm in for equality but against feminism, I ll explain. The people that clamour for equality want the same opportunities as men. They want equal pay to men. They want to walk alone and feel safe, they want to have a say. These are the things they want and men are ok with them but feminism but feminism operates under the assumption that simply because women's roles were considered "submissive," that they alone should be freed from gender roles. Somebody give this man a medal. Silly deluded, confused, naija feminist girls completely clueless as to what feminism and equality really is.... 2 Likes |

Are you seriously telling me that you've no idea that gender inequality exists in your dear country? Now you're just trolling. As for your middle eastern women,I'm sorry to say you can't use people who are shackled by religion to set standards for me or any reasonable person. If they want to continue being smothered,what's my concern? Am I supposed to keep quiet because they are keeping quiet? If anything I think we should give a round of applause to feminism for taking us further than them in actualizing our own goals.

I don't know why a vessel, molded to be decorative and be of importance (female) wants to be a clay pot with nothing significantly special about it. (male) Adam was made of clay but Eve was d final perfect and finished product from this solid mass of no special significance. All the perfection and the necessary tweeks were made in Eve. So why would any Eve wants to be an Adam? I am woman and I do my duties as a keeper of his mess and the wrapper of his shortcomings from the ridicule of the society. What else is there? 3 Likes |

The same Nigeria that a man will wake up after 15 yrs of marriage and decide to tak in another wife without considering how it make his wife feel and he is okayed. With no compensation to the distressed woman? Same Nigeria where a molest victims is shamed and blamed for maybe having seduced her attacker by her dressing? Or at the very least is left with the stigma as if it's her fault. Or the one where some companies don't employ women?

Pls all those things u mentioned as lies are not lies,do a thorough research and u will find out they are not lies. For the records,Feminists are not men haters neither do they want to be men,all they seek is something close to equality and a reduction in d double standard in our society. Thank u 2 Likes |

Re: Theory Of The Modern Wife by crackhaus: 8:46pm On Jul 18, 2014 |
cococandy:I assume the answers to the questions i asked earlier was yes to all. So now I ask, if that is the original purpose of equality cum feminism, why are feminists not satisfied? Why are you now including these things that I will deal with below in the agenda of feminists? Is this the Nigerian version of feminism? Do feminists in Nigeria even have a society or movement, I mean a non-governmental organization recognized by law? Why don't you people start rallies, hold seminars, organize peaceful protests and make the change you seek. Let me deal with your list below; Is not the same Nigeria that a girl can't inherit in her home compound?Is this the equality you're fighting for? Y'all are jokers, so this is what equality means to feminism? And you still don't understand why I say that feminists just want to be competitive. Are there not cultures in Nigeria where women inherit property? You're grasping at straws. Besides, what does a married woman with a husband want with her father's property? The same Nigeria that a man will wake up after 15 yrs of marriage and decide to take in another wife without considering how it make his wife feel and he is okayed. With no compensation to the distressed woman?Not all men do this. But I fail to see how this can be solved by equality...or maybe the woman should also wake up and take another husband huh? Oh wait, I just remembered, it was the man who married the woman and fulfilled the marriage rites and not the other way around.. go figure! Same Nigeria where a molest victims is shamed and blamed for maybe having seduced her attacker by her dressing? Or at the very least is left with the stigma as if it's her fault.Again you're grasping at straws.. There are civil groups all over Nigeria that deal with this already. No one openly says that a rape victim is to blame, even if they're thinking it. We only get to read that on the internet anonymously and that's really where it stays. I doubt a father, mother, or brother will blame their daughter or sister if she gets raped. Or the one where some companies don't employ women?Name one company, the job description and requirements. Look around your society and stop acting like you don't live in itSeen. Pickabeau1 is already on this. And yea, it is getting tiresome. 3 Likes |

Smh at some post. What has being a modern wife got to do with bride price,paying bills and feminism.

crackhaus: What I gave you were just few examples. So if the answers to your questions are yes that means inequality does not exist? You're the joker here. And yes I've been denied employment before because I'm a woman. Not gonna name company name. Even if constitutionally women are catching up with men in many spheres of the society,can you in good conscience say that women are regarded as equal to men in Nigeria? Society wise? I want you to answer that honestly. Honestly and stop beating about the bush 2 Likes |

I want you to answer that honestly. Honestly and stop beating about the bush. Rallies are noisy and tend to attract the wrong crowd. So the ministries of women affairs and our female legislators are expected to help take the cause of women further. Meanwhile I know you won't give me an honest answer about the way women are regarded here mostly as inferior to men. But it's a bias I understand. Adios 2 Likes |

Yeah,female should have eqaul right with men I.e right to live,vote,talk and law. But our roles are different because we are created differently, naturally we men were created from dust which makes us strong, bold and do some work, while women were created from our ribs(living things) which make them soft, this makes our role to be different. The chaos we have all over is that our roles has been interchange. Check those terrorist guys, is either they had no mother care or where brought up by men, if mother role had been in their life, am pretty sure the society will be @ rest. Personally I think the women folks role is like the moon:- very cool, stars come out, children feel confident and comes out to play, while the men role shld b like the sun that provide food and give confidence to everybody and also provides light for the moon so as to play its role @ nyt. When the sun and the moon try to change their role they will be ECCLIPSE which is what we are having now, unrest everywhere,419,YY etc. Let our mother play their homely role and c wht we will get in d society in the future |

there are many different kinds of women out there. I say marry the one that suits you. if it is a village woman that attracts you, marry a village woman. If you prefer a city or modern woman, marry a modern woman. if you want an illiterate, marry one. if you want an educated wife, they are also available. what's so complicated about this? 1 Like |
