Were you not the one who claimed that women have been allowed to do whatever they want in the West since the 1840s?

Were you not the one who said that anger and aggression are not emotions?

Were you not the one who claimed that in Nigeria the law does not discriminate against women?

crackhaus:
And now the bipolar manic-depressive skank with identity crisis jumps in from nowhere to quote me and up her failing self-esteem with rhetorical questions...b1tch can't get enough of me.

Have you seen your psychiatrist yet?

Anyway, let me humour you a bit since your tendency to misconstrue posts just to feel good about yourself is no longer news:


The first women's rights convention was held in 1848. Figure out what this means in the context of that statement, if it comes easy to that sugar-solution you call a brain that is.


I neither typed this nor made this assertion.

Make an appointment with a psychologist, and a speech-therapist as well - I have a feeling you may also suffer from Down Syndrome, else you won't be getting your own interpretations from thin air.


State one law in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that discriminates against women - don't forget to note the section(s) and subsection(s) for reference.

You're going to make a bigger fool of yourself with your next post.

You admit that you claimed that women were allowed to do whatever they wanted in the West since the 1840s?

am not doubting what yu said about bride price being taking care by the family or extended family...because in indian or ghana ,i heard they bear their mother's name as their surname becos they re
the one paying or taking care of their groom's list or price...
So my dear... Re yu ghana or where re you from?

Don't back-track now. No amount of damage control can erase the rubbish you wrote.


If you weren't so foolish, you would have known that those organizations are not even popular enough. Try "Googling" feminist groups and see if any of those names pop up.



I donate regularly to NOW and I'm a member of CAI*

CAI* focuses on the education of female children usually in elementary and high school level. Started two yrs back and we're going strong.

CAI* is not a feminist group but it's mission tallies with mine, hence a strong member.

I don't know what you mean by feminist groups but I belong to organizations that are tailored to helping women. You don't have to be a feminist to participate in majority.

As for a lot of the underground "feminist groups" Bride price is not a concern of a lot of them, it's not practiced in their society.

For Sango sake, look at my signature. I always promote the empowerment of women. [/s]

[s]Carefreewannabe, let me answer this one for you a lil

The constitution discriminates against women by not protecting them from the patriarchal society it functions in.

1.) M*arital rape is legal in Nigeria by omissions. BTW, it was brought up to them and they dismissed it. (Early 2000s, I'm sure)

2.) There is no law specifically addressing sexual harassment in Nigeria. According to DHS, over 30.5 % of ever-married women have experienced some form of physical, sexual, or violence at some point. http://www.unicef.org/nigeria/ng_publications_Nigeria_DHS_2008_Final_Report.pdf

3.) Polygyny is legal in NIgeria. Polygyny is prohibited in civil marriages, but authorized under customary and Islamic law.
Polygyny is a term that comes from the Greek "poly" which means many and "gyny" which means woman or wife. This term is connected to a type of marriage where a man is going to have more than two wives at the same time.

4.) In no region of Nigeria, does customary law grant women equal inheritance rights with men.[/s]

Who asked for your autobiography?

You are a feminist and an African - what feminist organization/group do you belong to and what have you done about putting a stop to the daylight-extortion of potential sons-in-law, ergo wife-purchase?

Simple question for God sake!

carefreewannabe:


Cut that crap!

Women have been allowed to do whatever they want in the West since the 1840s and in Africa since the 1890s, only 50 years later.

It does not matter that women were not allowed to work without their husbands' permission in Germany till 1977.

It does not matter that women have only been allowed to vote in the USA in the 1920s.

It does not matter that women were not allowed to obtain degrees in the UK at the beginning of the 20th century.

And it does not matter that in Nigeria customary laws discriminate against the female child when it comes to inheritance and that it was only in April, 2014 that the Supreme Court invalidated this ancient, backward, discriminatory cultural practice.

And feminism has nothing to do with all these achievements. Men like Crackhaus liberated women.

And he has the audacity to call other people s*tupid.

Another thread showing a rip-off list dished out just to marry from a thieving family

coogar:

what kinda MILs drink beer & get high on snuff?
by their list, you shall know them. i don't mind buying ram, clothing items, tubers of yam, soft drinks for MIL. however, the moment i see beer, snuff, indian hemp, paraga, etc then the marriage is off. an old man once told me if you want to know what a wife would become, check out her mother.

Not every woman and her family are poor.

2buff:


I was talking about THAT marriage specifically. The one the list generated from.
For allowing herself to be cashed out like that, that woman can never open her mouth to say anyhow feminist thing for as long as she lives.

carefreewannabe:


So you think she was sold off like a piece of property because of this tradition and she has no right to speak anymore?

2buff:


She can speak all she wants, but she has no right to claim "equality" with all that was put on that list.
Way too much.

crackhaus:

What horsesh1t is this?

State a law written in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that discriminates against women, and you're talking about something being legal by omission.

1. Is ra.pe legal - marital or otherwise?

2. Again, is ra.pe legal - marital or otherwise? Will a violent wife-beater be charged to a law court and go scot-free?

3. Lmao, this is what you typed first:
Polygyny is legal in Nigeria, then on the next line you typed this:
Polygyny is prohibited in civil marriages…

You're confused, so I guess that answers that.

As for the customary/Islamic laws, are they part of the constitution of the Federal Republic or is this not what I asked?

And FYI lots of women willingly go into polygamous marriages, hence I don't see how this is a discrimination - I guess you have your work cut out for you in trying to sensitize women about the discriminatory nature of polygny, good luck with that.


4. Again with the customary laws, absolutely nothing to do with the sovereign constitution.

However, if women inheriting property means so much to you, what are you doing to make it normal occurrence?

carefreewannabe:


Would you expect your son-in-law to pay a bride price for your daughter?

Buahahahaha....oh my days, I can't even take anything you say serious after this post. You're so desperate you had to go add that bit in bold? Buahahahaha....

Did I type that bit about Africa in my post?
B1tch you have just confirmed my suspicion, you are definitely mentally unstable.


I said that feminism had nothing to do with women's rights? Buahahahaha....
You are definitely a bipolar manic-depressive skank with sugar-solution for brains.

Quote where I said 'feminism had nothing to do with the success of women's rights movement' - and this time without edits.

You're deranged and pathetic, PLEASE see a shrink.


If I wasn't sure you were stvpid before, I definitely am now.

You got nothing on me, you got desperate and had to edit my posts with stuff I never wrote?

Oh dear, I'm so so very sad for you....darn!

coogar:


why won't i see it?
i have to spend on such things to buy you like a piece of foodstuff while you are on NL claiming to be a feminist. can you not see the hypocrisy you immerse yourself into? costly shoe for FIL, undies for MIL. what kinda MIL drinks 3 cartons of beer, a carton of hot drink & snuff? you better stay in the kitchen 24/7 after i manage to pay that kind of brideprice. if i hear the letter "f" before you even pronounce feminism, i would give you a dirty slap. your feminism should be paying your brideprice, not me.

carefreewannabe:


And that means that women have been allowed to do whatever they want in the West since the 1840s??

And you ironically call other people genius?

And you have the audacity to call others mentally ill?

crackhaus:

In a society that marginalized females, women were allowed to organize a convention in Seneca Falls, New York.
After 2 days of discussion and debate, 68 women and 32 men sign a Declaration of Sentiments, which outlines grievances and sets the agenda for the women's rights movement. A set of 12 resolutions is adopted calling for equal treatment of women and men under the law and voting rights for women.

Now genius, are you still having any doubt of your stvpidity?

Keep coming at me like this and you'll get burned so bad, you'll have to wear wigs for the rest of your pathetic life.

On a serious note, that is why u young guys should start going home and voicing out ur concerns over all these unusual traditional rites.
By d time somebody from another town tells of what he spent in ur town compared to urs and use it to ridicule ur gals, nobody will tell u and ur people to do something fast so u will not be left behind.
D thing is our guys stay in townships, never going home and still expect things to change when they r supposed to champion d change, u get it.
Its not a feminist thing. Though daughters protest to the hearing of their fathers. But d final judgement always come from d men of d house.
So men, go to work and stop whinning.
