EfemenaXY:Feminism heaps false accusations on men. That's what pisses guys off about it. Most of the time what feminism tries to highlight are either old ways or highly exaggerated imaginations. And most times they pin it on the man. Nobody likes being falsely accused. See efe asking a guy in this 21st century if he will think his girlfriend is a prost1tute for taking charge during sex,  Like seriously? Next thing is to tell you we make love on palm trees and beat native gongs after the act. 3 Likes |

When I read it on sunday, I couldn't laugh. It was so real and painful. I have a man who would be so delighted if I fixed a weave, acted like the typical uninformed Naija female and stopped reading so much and decided to do a Masters (rather than be an artist). And he met me like this. I am almost about to break up with him for the atheist who likes me the way I am. I will never forget my first, whom when I told him "this hurts", said "it's your fault, there's something wrong with your body", and I almost married him. He was also confused by my choice of career (his mum was a trained lawyer who opened a shop, he thought that was what all women were meant to do after marriage). Thank God for whatever encouraged me to run from him ooooo One of my colleagues last year (a man in his 40s) declared venomously "Why do women need orgas.ms? That is what is causing a divorce, I have never asked my wife if she enjoyed it, she does because she has children". When I think of all times shii gets said to my face because I'm female. Or the several times when once a girl has a car, Daddy bought it or she's an ashi. Or how the fact you don't attend church every sunday is alarming, nevermind your personal morals and ethics are above reproach. Or how many times I was commiserated with for having studied Engineering, because according to them, "that's why you're not getting married on time". Or how my mum would chase me to the kitchen on Christmas-day and leave my older brothers to watch tv in peace, as a kid. Or how some crazy dude at MMIA was shouting (because no-one let him cut the line and chance women) that we were "disrespectful" and if we had husbands, he would deal with us. Sorry, I had to modify my post: I met this mother at an art store in Ojuelegba, she was buying materials for her son, and we started discussing future careers. She then said "my daughter wanted to study Nursing, but I convinced her otherwise. When she gets married, she won't have time for her family. What if she marries a Pastor, will she neglect him at home?" That chick wasn't even in SS3 yet. She could have been Nigeria's Florence Nightingale, but her mum felt her marital prospects were more important than her contribution to society. Why does Sarcasm go over Nigerians' heads?? Didn't they study English and Literature in school. 37 Likes 15 Shares |

njokusboy: I agree. And its sad to think that after all the cash blown on education some youths still think its okay to have this mentality. |

Whoever wrote this is an idíot. I hate when people bring up these annoying feminist sentiments all the time and I hate feminist arguments. It is always one sided and full of emotions rather than acute reasoning and logic. Besides, most of the issues the writer tried to raise are not peculiar to Nigeria alone but a general or perhaps a global issue. The writer is just jobless and is desperately seeking attention from his emotion laden and sentimental public. 2 Likes |

tintingz: True?Does it matter if a feminist wrote it? Why will you leave the message and attack the messenger? Why don't you dispute the facts constructively without playing the blame card. As long as I'm concerned, the writer made a solid valuable points laced with truths. Even here on NL, Rita Dominic's and Genevive Nnaji's achievements are thrown away because they ain't married. It's very pathetic!! The writer is to a large extent right, about the plight of the average Nigerian female. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

5minsmadness: So you agree there was an 'old way?' Don't you believe that some people will still want to be stuck to it especially when it favours them? Some guys still think like that. You need to hear posh men talking in my office. Some are so archaic! 'How can my wife ask for my whereabouts? When she sees me, she sees me'; 'All these feferity na courtship o! after marriage, she go know say she don get husband' etc. etc. Omo, character no be by poshness. Beneath all the class, some guys are really not different from their 15th century counterparts. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

EmoBoy: Whoever wrote this is an idíot.Instead of huffing and puffing, why don't you criticise the points raised by John and leave the feminist out of it? Apart from the "equal rights" point, I don't see what this has got to do with feminists. The writer raised truthful points there. Tackle it and stop cussing. 8 Likes 1 Share |
