But isn’t it laughable that women would want an equality that can hardly be sustained by their biological set-ups? What about those hormonal factors that men don’t experience? What happens to the physical protuberances and monthly visits? I have observed these and laughed even more.

But, aside the mirth, I have observed that against their claims, the feminists do not even desire an equal standing with men; what they actually want is for the men with which they are equal to accord them special privileges because they are women. What segregation could be greater than this? They want the man to do some of the cooking at home, yet they want him to open the car door for them. They want some reservations made for them in government, reservations they will enjoy not because of their abilities, but because they are women! They want to get into male dominated jobs, not because they are physically suited to such, but because they want some representation to hype their ego! I think these people are actually chauvinists in disguise.

sweetcocoa:
You possibly can't be serious.

Most of our cultural practices is enough example and we damn well know, men are responsible for making such decisions.

Ah! You are so tempting!!!!

One thing I hate about feminist is that they're unrealistic and bias. They claim to be same with mean but when they slap a man they expect him not to retaliate. If a man slaps a lady they'll say why will a man do that to a woman? If you claim to be the same with men I don't see any reason why feminists want special treatment.

One thing I'll love to say is that men and women are different. There are certain things females do better than males, some stuffs males do better than females and some things males and females can excel in if given equal chances(like academics, job opportunities, politics etc) The truth is when feminist want special treatment from the males only make us female look weak.

jeff1607:


they only serve as medics and other support groups, come to the barracks and see how specially female soldiers,

early morning PT they are always behind and give reasons why they fall behind


during physical combat or sparring only veryfew female soldiers challenge other men but with a hand tied behind some both hands to push theirlimit.

I like theway feminist like defending themselves but please don't talk about how other females are treat instead talk about yours instead

ladies are their own worst enemies, since this is a faceless forum, check out d percentage of peeps they follow on their profile compare female to males. females are usually encouraged to go to the front lines but they prefer either being in the communication unit, medics, logistics etc

couliss:
yes it is true but a lot women provide for their house hold men don't do that alone
I just hate it when women are called stupid ,fish brain or sluts or gold digger
that is not Nice stop it y'all we have female children are you going to call them stupid don't you have mothers, sisters,aunts or female cousins .

ItsQuinn:
So how will you be able to handle me sir?

AngelsAndStars:
that's why you cannot be equal dear.

leave that to the strong. the men.

sweetcocoa:
What is your pint exactly? I have never argued that men aren't physically stronger than women, the argument is that, if a woman is up to task, let her do the job.

ItsQuinn:
Every female have different versions of feminism....so I have my own .....you men have to select which one is best

so many silly arguments going on here and there.

The concept of feminism is a concept that many Nigerians refuse to understand. Even some ladies and some guys who call themselves feminist don't understand the term.

The reason I don't associate with such term as people tend to read feminism as some sort of men hating let the women rule the world kinda shit.

That's not the concept behind behind it. Equalist is a better term to describe the concept behind feminism. If you don't understand something you ask.

The op is right in some regards, you fight for equality then be ready for the consequences of your responsibilities.

Fairness in all areas. We talk about female child education what about the male child education? we talk of domestic violence against women what about against men as well? we talk about rape on women what about on men?

Some of the Nigerian/African feminism keep making it seem like women are the "only" victims. In all honesty we are all victims of the terrible norms,culture of the society.

If you want fairness in all areas of life then we need to come together as one, break the societal norms of gender roles and gender stereotypes. Break the male dominant culture in most of our traditions.

Raise the two genders the same way. Let the boys and girls learn how to do domestic work and be financially independent.

This is the true concept behind feminism but like I said the term as being bastardised and equalist or humanist would be a better and acceptable term to use.

sweetcocoa:
talking about biological set up and what not, clearly shows you don't even understand the concept of feminism.

A man is a man and a woman is a woman and they are both human. What feminism advocates is that men should not be treated as a superior human than the women.

How hard can that be to understand? Mschew.

couliss:
feminism is campaigning against rape,domestic violence and sexual harassment
feminism is campaigning for the girl child against female circumcision
feminism is against the Rape culture where
Victims are often disbelieved
Victims often do not report their rapes
Victims are often treated poorly by the criminal justice system
Rapists often go unpunished
Punishments for rape are often light compared to other crimes

couliss:
hopefully a man reads what have been writing since and have a rethink because if this is the men our society has if this is the men our country is breeding I weep for us women I weep for us women
most men can give 100 recharge card to girls but can't browse on the internet what feminism is what it entails how does it affect the society.
what are the pros and con's of it
most men think a women a woman should open the car door by herself I can open the door by my self I have got hands most men say women should provide for the home that it should be 50/50 most women provide for their families without the man supporting them
you all men want to say it was your father that supported you throughout your education mama did not have a hand in it if she supported you 50 % more than your father she is a feminist

ItsQuinn:
Did I say anything about being equal?
I know that for a fact dear!

Of course...I will leave it to the men, men take over!
I will just be observing in 3D

Feminism is the belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.
Feminist activism is the struggle for that equality.
Feminist political activists campaign in areas such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, fairness, social justice, and workplace issues such as family medical leave, equal pay, and sexual harassment and discrimination.
That is feminism how can anyone not support FEMINISM.

Timbuktuo:


Both genders should not be raised the same because they are not the same. They have generally different aspirations and motivations, and as a consequence you cannot raise the the same.
How many women do you know who primarily look for a husband who can cook and clean ober one who can provide and protect? How many men do you know who look for a woman who can provide and protect he and his children over a woman who can care and nurture his offspring. Genders are not the same. It is the height of deceit and tragedy to treat them the same.

Gender norms and stereotypes cannot be broken because men are attracted to feminine women and women are attracted to masculine men in the general sense. Anything different is an anomaly.

we are not fighting with you why do you all hate women so much we done nothing to you it is the same God who created you that created me the only problem you have with me is I AM A feminist and I want equality with you as a man that is the only problem you have with me

kazyhm:


i'm feeling like buying you a very cold origin every time you want it

joywendy:


if you keep on the concept of training both genders differently then how do we expect real change in the process?

Women and men have only one thing that differentiates them. That's their reproductive organs. That one is divine and not anyone's doing. A child learn what ever you teach them and condition them to believe.

if both genders were raised exactly the same way with no bias and what not. we wont have this issue we are discussing and that's the honest truth. If most guys were taught how to do domestic work and most ladies were taught to be financially independent. No one will be complaining that women are money mongers and guys are dirty and don't know anything about domestic work. If there was a balance then there wouldn't be any differences as you see today.

Both Genders can have the same aspiration and dreams. Nothing wrong with a woman who wants to be a CEO of a company or a man just simply wants to be a make up artist.

It's what they have grown up too and believe that makes them see thing like that as anormly

Who created the masculine and feminine concept? is it not the same society? That's generalisation by the way....

GodsLastBorn:
hahahahahaa you didn't say anything about being equal? so what were you saying?

Timbuktuo:


So, we have to vet all the 3billion plus women on the planet? You people better speak with one voice if you hope to be taken seriously? The onus is upon you to articulate your needs objectively. We don't have to go out of our way to make sense of feminist mumbo jumbo.
