all these noise won't change the fact that all over the world, women are not and will never be equal to men. You can be a feminist all you want, that's your problem. Sensible women can reach whatever height they desire if they work hard. A lot of women are doing way better than some men and men are not complaining . I think these feminist are just bunch of jealous people.

lol..the proponents of feminism have changed her ideology of moral African,cultural and religious values of the naturality of Man and woman during creation.
This opinion you talked about was acquired over there where is presently lives.
I think she had been found to be a good human tool that can drive neo-feminist a gender in the black world.

Feminism who invented that word? From ab initio, the woman has always been wired to have superior convincing powers than a man and a man superior muscles...with the introduction of sin in the world, man's punishment was to toil for his food, while a woman was to labour to bear children in pain. These punishments are fair on both sexes as far as I know and has seen man toil for food and family provision and women, labour...all responsible men fulfill this 'wiring' and therefore 'leave' their wives to their labour 'punishment'. But where the woman is involved in the toiling as much as the man, it then takes a wise man to understand the superiority of the woman in that context. There is no key or rule book to determine what makes a woman superior but common sense. If you place a woman properly 'superior' you win her over. She eventually becomes a 'slave' to the love you offer. Men have traits peculiar to men, and women traits peculiar to women, none can entirely assume the others and that is the foundation.

As for me, I believe my bae is superior, she is smarter than me, she is better looking, she earns as much as I do and a better christian. But in acting this way around her, I have her glued to me for life. I cant begin to tell how loyal and respectful she is to me.

Its in the mind men!
both toiling is not suppose to be the excuse for this feminism wahala, was there any condition in scripture before women will submit to men? how many of these todays women are better than those wonderful women in scripture that understood where they belong and treated their husbands with all loyalty. ask any lady what she would love her husband do for her she will give you an unending list but will not know one thing is suppose to do for her husband.

Hope she is not trying to be hypocritical? causing problem in many families and treat her husband with all loyalty..l respect all female but do much more better to the few wise ones among them

I can't believe that I agree whole heartedly with you

A lot of men talking here don't know what feminism is all about (equal rights and opportunities for both genders)

Beneath all that noise they are making is fear, fear that they will lose their hold/power that the cultural inclinations here has made them believe that they have, and it's their God given right .

But sorry guys, the cultural attitudes are changing real quick, and in 20-25 years time, things will not be the same as they are now, with women having greater control over themselves, and their choices.

Unfortunately for you all, your noise cannot change it.

How does it destroy the family structure again

The family structure in Nigeria for centuries has always been a scam, and the thing did not collapse because women bore the brunt, and we're supposed to keep mum, while The man does whatever dumb shit that comes to his mind

Across Nigeria, there has been millions of women thrown out of their homes that they laboured to build with their husband for stupid reasons, such as

inability to bear a male child (which the man determines Anyways undecided
Mother in law wahala
Baseless accusation etc

Men beating the hell out of their wives was also widespread, and cheating the woman out of inheritance that is due to her was also common, as the husbands family will deal a deadly blow to her in that respect, and its double tragedy because she is not entitled to anything from her father's place, so she is left to suffer with her kids, I see all these scenarios play out all the time over the course of my existence.

What about the man sleeping around, putting the wife at risk of disease because the foolish man is doing all that unprotected?

Go to some federal hospitals and see how some pregnant women faint on finding out that they are hiv positive courtesy of a Randy he goat they call husband

Does this look like a proper family structure to you?
And you cannot lie that these rubbish things are not happening on a large scale in Nigeria

I'm a man, but I'm not scared of feminism because of I see it for what it truly is (equal rights for BOTH men and women)
not subjugation of men, or annihilation.

On a parting note, if you are a good husband to your wife, you will not be scared of anything, because the woman will know, and you have a loyal and faithful wife who will fight for you till her dying breath.
No smart woman throws a good man away (how many dey market sef undecided)

In the scripture you talk about, the demand on women is to submit themselves unto their husbands as to the Lord...reading further down that scripture passage, the bible says the man must love his wife as Christ loves his church...implication is that the man must love the wife to the extent of dying for her because that is the extent of Christ's love for his church. So as a man, in addition to toiling, you must love your wife to even dying for her...remember, the scripture did not place this exact demand on the woman (Eph. 5 22-33), as earlier mentioned, whether the woman toils or not, you are responsible for her, you must love her to the death-according to the scriptures and because God is a master creator, he has wired the normal woman to become loyal and a appreciative of this. When you get a woman who equally toils as much as you do, the least of your worries should be 'feminism', 'equality' or unending demand for 'loyalty'.

Barack Obama (who is one of the greatest men of recent history) is quoted as saying he does'nt even consider his wife equal, he considers her superior and my world, do you doubt Michelle's submissiveness and loyalty

With a display of a woman's 'superiority' you earn a godlike figure in her eyes, whereas when you make her sub par, bro, she will keep striving to outgun you because she has superior convincing power. And that my friend is where the world has coined 'feminism' from.

You see, you are the one missing it.

I have been saying it that feminists have been fighting for equal rights for men and women, and you told me that I failed to draw the line between feminism and the same rights they are fighting for....

It's all about the rights

It is feminist movements world wide that gave rights such as voting, reproductive rights, owning property and many more to women,, a feat that was unthinkable a century ago.

But many of you men don't have an idea about feminism, all you erroneously see is a bunch of women wanting to usurp the "God given rights" of men to be at the top and things like that
