LordReed:Cracky already answered this here; https://www.nairaland.com/2683426/discrimination-against-women-nigeria/6#39316625 It is likely that the assault on the woman would be considered "prosecutable" at a lower level than an assault on a man. Also misdemeanours are typically not punished by jail time - but fines/cautions, kind of buttressing my point. This law may actually mean that the levels of violence against a man have to be relatively high to warrant criminal prosecution - hence actually discriminating against men ! Again, this is at play in the UK today. a Man will be arrested on allegations of even light violence - i.e. a single slap or push - against a woman. This is were there is no physical evidence, or witnesses or where the womans story is falsifiable - that is she demonstrably lied. As long as she insists, the man will be arrested and processed. This is not what I read or was told. I saw it live and it was explained to me by the arresting officer. I repeat, no one sat down to wilfully codify discrimination against women into the constitution. At worst, they codified the already agreed social norms. Anything viewed as discrimination against one sex would almost certainly have a corollary against the other. Men have always viewed themselves as the protectors of womens virtue/honour. Even now, if a man physically attacks a woman, it's other men who will take him on, physically if they have too. It's wired women know, expect and play on it. Hence my reading above; touch a woman, even slightly, and you are facing jail time. You'd have to do a lot more seriously damage to a man to risk prosecution. Best drop this one dude ! TV |

Mindfulness: Thank you for this... Jubril Sarah had contested for president twice, how many women supported her? A female Professor contested in the last election, 85% of those that supported and campaigned for her were men yet these females come here to complain. Ask them what have they ever done to fight this discrimination other come online for cyber war. Until women in Nigeria and diaspora take themselves seriously, there is nothing the men can do to help them. This is the 21st century, they have all the resources and law to fight discrimination. 3 Likes |
