The same reasons why many women can't openly criticize wearing the hair of women from other countries in the name of fashion (India, Brazil, China, and most recently Goat hair, etc.) These are the same women who want to us to believe they don't suffer from inferiority complex... 9 Likes 1 Share |

pickabeau1: I'm just saying speaking up against gold-digging, maybe! but speaking up against marrying older men seems a lil off. You cannot just automatically assume any woman marrying an older man is doing it for money. That assumption is too general! |

I think the problem lies with women folk. And it should be: when are women going to stop provoking/instigating domestic violence? Then, we also have to show the same level of concerns for men who are/have-been victims of domestic violence, the same way we have been doing about women. Once we start doing that - a lot of things are going to change. 3 Likes |

Nonso23: It's the second time you try yourself in linguistics and it is the second time you make a mistake. You have taught me about the sound barrier and you have given me free lessons in philosophy and I have taught you about the various meanings of the word "chat" and now I will teach you about the word terrific. Terrific is always an adjective. And an adjective does not have to be followed by a noun. And I am not a traditionalist. I appreciate smart, good-hearted, strong, hard-working men. And the handsome ones too. |

SirShymex: How do women provoke domestic violence? Do men also provoke domestic violence? Statistics: http://www.americanbar.org/groups/domestic_violence/resources/statistics.html Just so you understand why it appears that women are getting more 'concern' than men. You don't have to state the fact that the article does not account for all male victims in the US since it is known that some men shy away from reporting domestic abuse. The government, private/public organization can only act on the resources available to them anyway. Back to why I'm quoted you..... |

Nonso23: I have clarified what I meant by this word so you don't need to believe anymore. And for everyone who has not read it, they can read and write it down now. There are PLENTY OF WONDERFUL MEN in and outside my family. Nairaland knows no smart, hardworking, handsome men unless they are family members. How can "Nairaland" know what its members do offline? We can only judge people by the comments they make. And to be honest with you, there are some very nice men on NL. I had a very good conversation with you a few days ago, I learned a lot. I think you are smart and I think you are nice. Maybe the friendliness will change in the future but this is what I think right now. |
