Of course that is it. People fear what they don't understand and often hate what they can't conquer. Feminism is not harmful to our society. The only problem are some dumb people who claim to be feminist and people whose understanding of ideologies are based on how its proponents behave. Simple. Some are just scared of the word 'femi'. Just read this article to get my point.

In clear terms according to who or what?

You are confusing chauvinism for feminism. That's why I'm asking you where exactly your understanding of Feminism emanates. Tell me. This is wiki's definition:

"Feminism is a range of political movements , ideologies , and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes. This includes seeking to establish educational and professional opportunities for women that are equal to such opportunities for men".

What is your definition and where exactly did you get it from? Or you must agree that a follower of Jesus Christ is not a Christian just because you think he is not Christian? Give me something and read the article.



haba is chauvinism no longer feminism? which kin confusion b dis!

You should spend the rest of your days in the kitchen and baby sitting. Let your wife go and make money, cos you wasted your time in school.

Crap crap crap. We no dey fear kitchen o. We can have a roaster for cooking and babysitting. Then equality on every other thing financial and all. Its only lazy men who complain about the feminist trend. Nobody hol una, you people can champion your course. Just don't shift other germane family issues on the man.

How can chauvinism be feminism? Their can be either male or female chauvinism. The world we live in today has all the footprints of male chauvinism. Why should a man with Down Syndrome be considered the head of the family where his wife's thyroxine excited her IQ to over 160? That's what chauvinism is. An idiot decides what happens in the home simply because he is a man.

well marriage is a different ball game as we mostly take our definitions of marriage from religion. In most religions, head of the home does not necessarily mean smartest or that the head does not listen or take advice of others. it simply means responsibility. The leader is not necessarily the smartest. the CEO is not necessarily the smartest in the company.

Equality in dignity and equality in opportunities is what I stand for. I still do not call myself a feminist. I believe the genders are not the same. the genders are unique each with its own natural obligations. however I believe in outliers hence everyone should be afforded the opportunity to be what they want to be.

If a woman wants to go into a male dominated profession, she should be allowed. ditto for a male. if a woman wants to be the head of the home in her marriage, she should simply find a man who shares her sentiments. ditto for man too. No one should be limited by his or her gender but this does not mean we should ignore the fact that the genders are different physiologically and psychologically. everyone should be allowed to be what he or she wants to be as far as it does not affect another.

So if man believes in the concept of primary gender obligations and secondary/helper obligations in marriage, he should find a woman who shares his sentiments. Similarly if a woman believes in equal obligations in marriage, she should simply find a man who shares similar sentiments. the summary is that for marriage, both parties should simply discuss their views on marriage beforehand and agree or stop the relationship.

No two human beings are equal. I want to spend on my lady, I also want my lady to spend on me. Sharing of bill is frowned upon by me, we arent in a business setting. It should rather be done out of love,

' Dear, I have 15k here and it costs 30k. Take my atm love. My own turn sef would come haha '

I'm talking about real love here please not the boo bae fake ass shiit.

The problem with any form of labels is the missuse, the ignorance of not understanding it but on a surface level. Don't be a man hater , Women head organizations that my father would say yes ma to but you lazy females would rather whine all day and say how Its a men's world. Almost like the race card.

I understand but I think you are reducing it to subjectivism. I am about the rationale behind every of our individual subjectivism in marriage and gender relations. Is it right? Should it be so? Does your argument imply that we should leave men who think they have a divine right to beat their women to their own decisions? I am questioning those decisions.

That's where feminism comes into play. In other words that where equity and equality comes to play. The feminist is asking for that equity, that commonsense evident in civilized entities, that face of humanity and humanism that ought to be present in all gender relationship. That is the crux of the matter. We can't reduce it to a subject of preferences. If a man doesn't like equity, we won't go down to his level but 'force' him to rise up.

Yes, their can be both male and female chauvinism but categorising female chauvinism as a brand of feminism is a logical impossibility. It is like saying 'the goat is a bird' in denotative sense. Not metaphorical o!

You know why? Simple. Feminism is for equal rights for capable and qualified sexes while a chauvinist is an antagonist to these rights. It is like calling someone a Christian Muslim, an atheist theist, a married bachelor, a virgin grandma, etc. Except you want to use it as an Oxymoron which is just for entertainment.

Yeah Indian brides do that. Though some consider it archaic now.

I think biology and evolution is psychological too. While I think strength is biological, I don't think pride is. Pride is psychological and influenced by human activities. Strength by nature also has potential to make you want to dominate. That is if that environment allows it. We've evolved. Personally, I consider any adult that fights to show superiority a GOAT.

Look at those women with muscles and unique physical strength and you'd see what I'm saying. Like Darwin suggested, because strength was required to survive, animals with greater strength adapt. But people no longer run their affairs on this strength. We've evolved intellectually and thus that crude misconception ought to change too

Sigmund Feud, a psychologist, pointed this out on his descriptions of narcissism. We are simply born with biological features and those other psychological imprints we later add are shaped by the society. So, it is still male chauvinism at play. Telling you that they must be head even when we are in an era of intellectualism. Telling you they are wired from birth with 'Pride' gene which cannot be proven.
Re: We Should All Be Feminist by Nobody: 12:43pm On Oct 29, 2017
I said it before, 99% of a woman's problem is a "man". Being that a man is human like them they find it hard to deal with. Giving this concept a name i.e feminism makes it a DOA cause!
