In order to avoid chaos in the society, we have constructed gender roles and labels. These help our human interactions. A man should be assertive, domineering, proactive, impulsive, and hot-tempered, to mention a few. On the other hand, a woman should be subservient, mild, nurturing, gentle, soft-spoken, pliable, etc. Society comes up with these roles forgetting that an individual is a soul before anything else.

Going with Plato and Jung, the soul is essentially androgynous; it has masculine and feminine “traits”. There are men whose nature don’t fit in with the generally accepted masculine traits. The same applies to women. I mean not every woman wants to have kids or get married; it’s who they are. It has nothing to do with feminism.

It’s the role of the man to be the head of the family, right? No right-thinking feminist is disputing that fact. But then, a woman has the right to be expressive in her family just like a man has the right to be expressive. It’s a girl child’s prerogative to get an education the same way it is for a boy child. These children might have different household chores but they must be treated the same way.

This is what feminism is all about. There must be equality between the sexes. Feminists are not asking for male roles. We’re only saying that just like men, we have rights because we are all human. “Man is defined as a human being and a woman is defined as ‘female’. Whenever she behaves like a human being, she’s said to imitate the male.” – Simone de Beauvoir. This shouldn’t be the case.

Anyone that has an issue with racism should have an issue with sexism. Some women say they don’t support feminism because they can’t do men chores. Chores are roles. Feminism is all about rights to be a human being. We’re not disputing that a mother shouldn’t cook for her family. We’re expressing that a woman, as a human, has the same rights a man has as a man. Human Before Woman. Human Before Man.

I keep saying feminism is not all about dominating the man but giving your self
What is called SELF WORTH


Nigerians version of feminism is GIRLS POWER where they want to take charge by force

most feminist are married yes alot of them they are submissive guys think cos they give themselves self worth nd self respect its a disrespect to their ego.

Bt excuse me feminism deals with equality where justice is given to both male nd female real feminism is all bou equal justice


Not a man washing ur cloth or a man bathing u
NO NO NO NO

its bou allowing women av a say on ow to run the economy

To fyt against brutal treatment most women are facing


FEMINISM IS ALL ABOUT EQUAL JUSTICE TO BOTH SEXES


BUT GIRL POWER IS ALL ABOUT DOMINATING THE MEN RACE


THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT BEHAVIOURS!!!!!!!!!

Feminists are misunderstood for demanding equality with men and for drawing attention to society's misinterpretation of women and their role. My lecturer used to say something when I was in school: 'why do we have to assign some certain work to the boys(lyk they are free to play football) while our girls are forced to be in the kitchen with their mothers(does the penis and vaginal have anything to do with this? I will always love 'Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche'. I just wish our 9ja men will change their orientation about being a feminist.

this days we even get animal rights & you're here complaining about women rights. what are women being denied? NOTHING!
every gender has it's downsides but you don't see men running around complaining about every single thing that makes them what they are.

so unless you're living under an Islamic regime, then pls shut up.

Feminists are nothing but a bunch of whiny loudmouths who needed an outlet to air their pointless, baseless & even more fanatical opinions. They're really not very different from a cult.

Just scream inequality even if the truth of the matter is staring you & everybody else right in the face.

So fūck feminists,fuçk anybody associated with feminists.

you see that is the problem!

ur statement would have been true 20-30yrs ago.....the world has progressed but apparently the feminists are still stuck in the 1980s.

but if you can be so kind,good ma'am, to tell the class how women are still being discriminated against today then maybe I might reason with you.
The whole noise they've been making was centered on education & employment opportunities...... you now have female CEOs,ministers,presidents. and in most schools,the female population is equal to or greater than that of the males.

Op you said "Feminism means equal right and justice for men and women" but the truth is women do almost everything men do. So I think people should give this topic a rest because we have educated women, we have women in power, we have women holding different positions CEO, directors, Managers etc, we also have men that are chef, designers, stylist, hair dresser etc. The truth is a lot of successful women today didn't achieve success by chanting Feminism, they proved their worth to the people around them but "Some" ladies of this generation do nothing @all, they depend on men but still want equal right and justice. How possible?

Plc ladies do something useful with your life, you will get all the respect you deserve.

All these plenty ignorance is breaking my heart. If you have issues with racism, why don't you have issues with sexism? There must be non discrimination. Men are not better than women. Women are not better than men. In fact, I'm clamouring for Human Rights. Treat women as human beings. When some dude tells me, "I'll allow you because you're a woman..." I just get ticked off. If other men can stand on that queue, I can stand on that queue.

But then, there is something called rights and roles. If I were to go into "Rights" and "Roles", this innocent "little" topic would get out of hand.

Bottom line is this: Human before man. Human before woman.
