Lilimax:They say that to justify their wandering 3rd legs, women can be just as polygamous. It's not a married woman choosing that life per se, she has to be married to more than one husband, otherwise it's not polyandry. Seems you are confusing it with a married woman sleeping around, they are two different things. 1 Like |

Who are these so-called feminists anyway, and why haven't i met them in real life? As an engineer, i come in contact and interact with a lot of top-class female professionals, and i have not seen them practising feminism, or atleast the kind of feminism being propagated on NL. Watching a feminist display in real life would be fun. I would probably laugh my hearts out while she fools herself to stupour. 3 Likes |

ileobatojo: Yes we will as long as we agree that equity means fairness and it is also a recourse to principles of justice to correct or supplement law. It is in this sense that specific measures must be designed to eliminate inequalities between women and men, discrimination and to ensure equal opportunities. Gender equity leads to equality. In a simultaneous equation, you need two variables which may not necessarily equal each other but both are equally needed to make the said equation. Therefore, their functions in the equation are equal but their values may or may not be equal. Equality does always mean equity, equity however is equality everyday, all day and all times. 2 Likes |

cococandy: u assumed that those women have supplying husbands that dont feel emasculated, you might be wrong. those women you mentioned a strong, domineering, they might be gentle and meek behind closed doors o but i doubt. nkojo for example, i can tell u dat woman has know her place in this word early in her life, he father is a well educated traditional ruler, she schooled in Harvard, if u now say its her husbands support that took her to the top... even if those women refuse to marry they will dominate. look at that oby ezekwesili, she be man o. lai lai that one no fit humble to any man . if u have female bosses you know that if a woman is always flexing her muscles in the office, her husband is also suffering the same fit at home #fact |

freecocoa:you mean one of the men will have to wait for over a year before he mates with his wife. never mind. I've come to realise that on nairaland even the most insane illogical things or ways of life can have support from some posters. interestingly they always put fort seemingly intelligent argument.... which still doesn't make I right. I never fall for that any way. two or more men that are cool with marrying one woman should go ahead and suit themselves. |

Arsenate:For starters I'm not in support of polygamy but let's not okay it for one party and then say it's not supposed to happen for another because one carries a baby. Who says he has to wait for a year? Don't pregnant women have sex? Or are you worried about a pregnant woman sleeping with a man who isn't her baby's daddy? Well, the sperm doesn't affect the baby in any way and again if you are worried they might not be able to tell who the real dad is, then there's DNA testing, better still, if the man's genes are strong like that of tuface, then there you have it.. Yea, I know it sounds ridiculous and all but it's feasible just like a man marrying more than one wife is. |

carefreewannabe: No carefree, she was given a raise for her past contributions, her current dedication to the job and the trust that she will continue to maintain high standards when she resumes. This is a typical example of how equity is a step ahead of equality because it seeks to be fair, if not for the pregnancy which is a natural cycle a woman has to go through, she would not have taken that time off and would have contributed the same level of productivity that her male colleagues gave to the organisation. Her bosses applied equity and treated her fairly, if they had applied equality, she would have lost out on the pay raise through no fault of hers and then become demoralized. Naijababe gave an another excellent example of how equity is different from equality in how athletes are not made to start from the same mark when running round an oval field. I didn't see any discussion on that. On a general note, let's not think that when a woman does not support feminism or gender equality, she is an enemy of female advancement or she wants women suppressed. I see that a lot on NL, eg the way Omotola was torn to shreds because she said she doesn't support equality. Some women just think equity gives everybody a better deal especially women. |

This "sexism" can be taken to crazy level at times, even in very mundane things by the feminazis. For such people, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is AGAINST WOMEN AND THEY MUST FIGHT TO CHANGE IT! For example, in Germany, something as simple as "Street Lights" has become the next object of attention of these "attention-seeking" feminazis. As far as a lot of people are concerned, street lights should guide you into when it is safe to cross the road, not whether it is shaped like "Daddy" or "Mummy" but the Feminazis would have non of that. Wherever a "male" is represented, a female equivalent/EQUAL has to come up! Maybe they need to have something more worthwhile to do with their time and energy! Lastpage!

Here in the US, the feminists movement has managed to completely turn family courts into a war zone where the women are automatically victorious or at least given certain rights and privileges that are not even offered to Men. I know Nigeria and Nigerian people like to copy certain American societal mannerisms and activities. Nigerian men I beg of you please keep alert and watch legislation, be educated on laws that are being proposed and make sure none is given idiotic powers to women.

birdman: You might be right. But I try as much as possible to follow the progression of African Americans, especially their academics and achievers cos you know when it comes to black diaspora, they always create the blueprint for everyone else to follow. And you have to get on the wave early. Still don't know that many, tbh Anyway, there is nothing ground breaking about real estate investors...but I agree with those who have patents though. Lol, that is the truth lol. Hence I told one of our feminists on here to go read about Angela Davies and Alice Walker - the pioneers of black feminism who got on the wave after the civil rights movement. And these were brave women who actually marched with MLK daring racist pigs to shoot them. Angela Davies also marched Huey P. Newton. When they grow in wisdom, knowledge, and experience - they will see the light looool. 1 Like |

naijababe: Exactly what I just described (except that equity is not necessarily equality all day, but that's just by the way) So how then can you say gender equality is the worst thing that possibly happened and on the other hand say you love gender equity when gender equity is just the tweak that helps achieve gender equality? 1 Like |

And the funniest thing is that: they always deny it, claim they agree with a few things about feminism, or say they are traditional. However, I just tell them to stop acting like men cos it is unattractive lol. Clown their ar.ses and laugh my ar.se off. Ain't no one got time for manly ladies with too much testosterone trying to overdo things. Steve Harvey done raise a lot of clowns in trying to sell a book. Think like a man, yano lol.

naijababe(f): 2:37pm On Nov 11 Abeg! make una no crucify all Naija men naa... The beautiful ones are not yet born ... The wise ones are hiding themselves far far away so that they don't fall prey to the many heart snatchers waiting to empty their pockets and ruin their destiny all in the name of true love Love today is not blind o... "Shine your eye well well", before you take the leap of faith and crash inside the mud It is difficult to find true women in Nigeria today who will love you not because of your pocket like you said. So also its difficult to find true men who are true in every sense of the word. But that does not mean that true men do not exist in Nigeria. that does not mean that true women do not exist in Nigeria The fact that 'Most' men are sleeping around does not mean all men sleep around. The fact that 'Most' men bully their wives at home does not mean all men are the same. It's all about Understanding and Values which a lot of people claim to have but do not have. You cannot give what you do not have. You cannot be what you have not trained yourself to be. Love is ever bearing, love is ever forgiving, love is always looking out to complete what is missing in the beloved. Many Men today are living in a fake life because they were told ' its a man's world' where the man is always in control Your sweet husband can never inspire you or help you achieve greatness, if your husband does not understand what it really means to Great or to share in Greatness. The fact today is that many see their wife as just a mere commodity or contract partner they paid for and not as a true friend / best partner in Success / best partner in failure I have seen a handful of men who have been true to themselves and to their role as husband, or friend and I will always respect them for the brave choices they made in their life to be good for the sake of being good, to a true friend rather than being a boss, even if society tears itself apart with vice and male dominance. As it is today, Marriage has been bastardized, Family has lost its true meaning, its values and 'togetherness' as it is supposed to be. Most people today are just trying to patch it so it does not fall apart openly in public. The rate of domestic violence inferiority complex against married women in Nigeria, the rate of divorce, the rate of heart breakers, the rate of immorality amongst guys and gals, married and unmarried makes me wonder what this generation is turning into. True Love is actually dead ....as far as I am concerned unless you can prove me wrong otherwise with your good behaviour which I know can also be faked. Most men on the street today toasting girls are just catching fun for the sake of it or rushing off to catch a sweet apple so they can quickly answer the name 'Married' But the reality of it is that the Marriage they think is an easy stuff is more than an Encyclopedia which one needs to study carefully before getting into it. They are acting a script they were already told that ' its a man's world' . The woman has no right to know where you have been all day. The woman has no right to follow you all day. And as they bounce into marriage ---they will soon bounce out of it when they are tired even if they are the best of celebrities that people admire. Sometimes I think it's better not to get married at all in the first place than to live in this false 'shell' called marriage. I can't imagine myself staying 1 minute away from my true friend, the one whom I entrust my heart to. Forget about what the world wants to say. its 'our' life not 'theirs'. Better not to give my heart away at all (remain Single forever) than to give it to someone who cannot take good care of it and motivate me to succeed as I constantly motivate her. The Best way to live life, i think should be to be yourself and keep doing good, be smart and don't get carried away by first impressions of beauty, wealth, sweet talks etc. All that glitters is no longer gold. The best way to live life is to train yourself to tolerate any kind of person (personality types) as long as you have built your strong heart, with a patience and sweetness that can change even the worst of men into your best buddy. But that does not mean you should just accept anyone that comes your way. If you can't change their attitude, values and view about life before marriage, then you will have to live with it for the rest of your life or join the popular club called 'divorced' . Alternatively if you have have built yourself up with a strong heart and values to tolerate any kind of person, you stand a better chance of being able to patiently and carefully convert that person into the type of person you want ....but you may need to learn a lot about human psychology (what makes people act the way they act). From my experience in dealing with people, i've learnt that those who prove to be wicked or tough on the outside are really very weak inside (its just an outer covering they are displaying - defense) as a result of the type of harsh environment /wisdom they grew up in , the over expression of love received (betrayed love) or absence of love (no one to share or truly care) and their system has naturally built its defense wall...(wickedness / fear me) ..to change that attitude in them you have to be extremely careful before you can earn their trust as a good friend (who is not self seeking, earthly reward seeking, one who is your friend because he wants what is best for you even if he or she is not a part of your life or happiness, they still help you gladly to find your happiness) and then you can gradually dismantle that outer shell so it becomes easier for them to accept other people the way they are..(without feeling that all are the same - bad ).and now they are free to look out for or help others achieve their goals in life .....its a mindset thing that you can with patience and wisdom change gradually as I did with one of my bosses at work. If you are obeying them now out of respect, ok...but how long with that continue... they will continue to act that way towards you forever unless you do something about it . Have you ever seen two good friends arguing about which important assignment they will do first. A says to B ----lets us do your own; assignment first before we start to do mine later. B says to A ----No! lets us do your own assignment first before we start to do mine later. That should be the ideal character of true friends, a man and woman who truly love each other and want the best for each other. But when you love or marry someone who sees your interests as inferior, then you have to spend the rest of your life doing his own assignment since he doesn't see the need for your own assignment. As of now all they see is 'Me', My World, My Happiness, My Satisfaction. And even if you are legally or rightfully married to them...they do not see 'you' in their inner world and so their attitude is to always think about 'Me' . Even ladies too can exhibit this attitude which usually leads the guy to frustration or to seek love elsewhere. Young boys or girls like me still searching. Don't loose hope - the good guys and good girls still exist but it may take time to find. Don't be carried away by this thing called 'love'. it kills. sweet talks...or toasts....its bitter in the end.....You need time and wisdom to look carefully, look carefully and look beyond the surface and determine if that guy really means what he is saying, if his mouth and his heart mean the same thing.....or he just wants to cover up and use you as he has done with so many. Or he just wants to use you to climb up to the next stage in his life 'Married' even if both of you are not compatible, or he just wants to keep you at a corner as a full time house wife or sx satisfaction machine. Anyway I think you should hide your heart far far away in a safe place as you listen to their toasts so that anyday you happen to find that true man (whom you have tried and tested to prove he is original) you can dust it up and both of you can start a good life together ... |

Kimoni: Exactly! She was given a pay raise because of her contributions and nothing else. She was given what everyone else would be given for the same performance. This is equal treatment and equity is "a situation in which everyone is treated equally". She was treated like everyone else. She did not get anything for being absent. http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/equity_1 There is no need to make matters more complicated. This is a typical example of how equity is a step ahead of equality because it seeks to be fair, if not for the pregnancy which is a natural cycle a woman has to go through, she would not have taken that time off and would have contributed the same level of productivity that her male colleagues gave to the organisation. If she was not given any pay raise for her contribution then she would have been treated differently, unequally and THEREFORE unfairly. Naijababe gave an another excellent example of how equity is different from equality in how athletes are not made to start from the same mark when running round an oval field. I didn't see any discussion on that. If athletes had to start from the same position when running an oval field, then they would be given UNEQUAL chances and therefore treated unfairly. Because they start from different positions, they have the same distance to run, it is equal and THEREFORE fair. Fairness and equity are therefore a result of equality. On a general note, let's not think that when a woman does not support feminism or gender equality, she is an enemy of female advancement or she wants women suppressed. I see that a lot on NL, eg the way Omotola was torn to shreds because she said she doesn't support equality. Some women just think equity gives everybody a better deal especially women. A woman who thinks that there can be equity without equality is not logical. The example with athletes running in an oval circle is a very good example to illustrate it. They are placed in different positions so that the distance they run is equal and the outcome of this equality is equity. Omotola should be ashamed of herself. She says she does not believe in gender equality but she enjoys every privilege that women who fought for equality gave her. I don't care what she does with her husband, she should just be aware of the message she sends to women in a country, in which females have to go to court to be included in their father's inheritance just because they are female. 2 Likes |
