Lamborghini: Alright, sorry. Good to know sensible women like you exist. And for the record there is nothing like gender equality, women don't and can never equal men in physical terms or intellectual terms. If anyone can't accept this fact they should kill themselves, I don't care. you mean there's no female equivalent of seun osewa in nigeria? that's harsh o. 3 Likes |

Every sexx needs to respect the other; woman respect your man/husband and hopefully his parents brought him up well to do the same. However having said that, i can NEVER EVER EVER justify what this man did in this case. He had the choice of walking away but he choose to deliever that knockout punch. By the way did you see how she was pulled out of the elevator like a rag doll? WOW! That was an over kill. I cant justify that brutality for any reason on earth. Nah nah 2 Likes |

And for the record there is nothing like gender equality, women don't and can never equal men in physical terms or intellectual terms. If anyone can't accept this fact they should kill themselves, I don't care. Men are definitely more emotionally intelligent than women; a 1000%. When it comes to intellectuals however; it's a tricky one. At the elementary and secdondary level of education, boys and girls are roughly on the same level. when we get higher on the ladder; the university/demanding level, women tend to drastically fade away. They tend to go for psychology, communication; those useless courses sha. But when it comes to STEM courses, women are nowhere to be found. Imagine, only 9% of engineers in the UK are females. I wonder why. The blame it on mothehood. |

Reference: i am a modern man. i believe in sex equality - my female colleagues performing the same role as me should get the same pay as me. they should get equal opportunities as their male counterparts in every sphere of life. that being said, if a woman hits me - what will i do? i would do exactly the same thing i do when a man hits me. my sex equality policy does not falter that way. if i retaliate when a man hits me, i should retaliate when a woman hits me as well. it's pretty simple! 4 Likes |

If anyone can't accept this fact they should kill themselves, I don't care. No problem in having this logic, but you do not actually help the man's case, rather it helps the battered woman more whether she started the scuffle or not. There are certain perks in being not equal. She being the 'lower sex' puts the man at a higher responsibility not to raise his hands on her. |

Sadly for you gender equality is alive and kicking, if you are finding it difficult tp accept the glaring fact then you do us the honours of killing yourself. We seem to be doing fine and getting everything we need in the gender equality department enforced by the law. (cherry on top) 5 Likes |

BABE3: and only about 18% of engineers in america are females. the most intriguing part is more american females get admitted into universities for STEM courses than men but they never follow it through to the very end.... whether the issue is motherhood or limited intellectual capacity, i don't know.....but to think more men with the genuine intention of reaching the engineering pinnacle are being denied admission to accommodate women who soon throw their engineering dreams away for domestic chores is quite disturbing! 4 Likes |

sCross: Solange was wrong, she showcased her ghetto character and how she carries herself, while Beyonce showed a more matured and different character. That alone should tell you people choose how they want to behave or react to something. So did Jay, respond in his own character which has saved him his fortune and bad undeserved publicity. He became the hero of the day. I guess he thought he would not reason like a poor man, he knows his worth he also knows its not worth it. I know people expected Jay to knock Solange out, to show he is the man, he on the other side did not need such validation, he knows who and what he is. He also knew, ona one on one fight with Solange he would probably kill her with one punch. No question about it. Well on verbal abuse, i think naija man can stand their own verbally as I have experienced on nl but the problem is you quickly get angry and want to slap because in your up bringing someone told you a woman must never talk back to you. Its in your head not out there, you deal with head wiring you'll be okay. No one dies of deflated ego. 4 Likes |

Re: Violence: Again The Double Standards by Kimoni: 4:44am On Sep 12, 2014 |
ocman: I quite understand the emotions and reservations but need i add that there is a hit from a woman that is not meant to harm or hurt. It is an emotional hit. Only humane and loving guys can decode that kind of hit (hit not slap). Take for instance a guy says something hurtful to her woman, and it hurts her so bad that she cries and hits u thrice on the shoulder of back, screaming "why do u derive joy hurting me"? Mehn!! would you take that as a hit and go back at her? I would never do that. my point is, it is not all hit from a girl means fight or invitation for a fisticuff or brawl. I would be the last man standing on earth to touch my woman. So, let us not generalize a hit from a woman. Some hits are affectionate. I know such hits and they are also emotional to me cus it gives me a sense that i have hurt her badly.... I'm loving this your analysis and Magic Johnson's story readily came to my mind(quoted below). From his story, I'll say there are emotional slaps too... Magic Johnson: After revealing the shocking diagnosis(HIV), Johnson told his wife he would understand if she wanted to leave him. She responded by slapping him in the face for making such an unthinkable suggestion. Back to the matter at hand, I am 100% with Chilli and kanwulia on their quotes below - Chilli - supporting violence against violence makes you a violent person too... Kanwulia - I make a celestial effort to walk away from violent people.... |

BluIvy: lol. Yes. Go ahead, make excuses for Solange, "ghetto character " indeed. You forgot a critical thing; Beyonce was present. Very few men would beat up their wife's sister in her presence. very few!! An average guy gets physical in the middle of a heated argument by default (male or female); that doesn't make it right but that's truth. What he did was wrong; no doubt but the way she acted was equally wrong. They are both guilty. Solange assaulted Jay Z and she wasn't even reprimanded instead people concluded that Jay must have done something prior. If that is not double standards, please explain what is. You're also very wrong about naija men being able to stand verbal abuse just because some do it here on nl. Nl is not the real world. There's ample time to craft out a killer response. In the real world, the woman usually says about 20 words before the man can muffle a weak reply Last missile: There's a beast in every man and the "right" woman would bring it out. 1 Like |

BluIvy: That is not what he is saying. What he means is that gender equality means Solange gets the rap, loses her wealth, gets kicked off her job, does time, whatever. That's equality. You get equal punishment by the law and society. All you did was to call Solange a ghetto girl then turned on JayZ with all the praises for not reacting. That to me is tacit protection of the female folk. Equality means Rice gets called a ghetto dude and we thank his wife for not reacting and we all go home happy. Nothing happened to Solange. Equality means nothing should happen to Rice. 6 Likes |

Re: Violence: Again The Double Standards by Reference(m): 7:18am On Sep 12, 2014 |
Going back to the OP it still remains to be seen how men and women garner equal liability for equal crime whether by law or within the society. Yes poster, what has Solange Knowles lost as a result of her act as compared to JayZ if the tables were turned. There are tons of influential women out there in business, industry, politics, sports, the performing arts, etc and a number behave badly. How many do you see go down in a blaze of glory, hardly any. The society remains heavily skewed in favour of women when it comes to liabilities. That's a fact. |
