Whether feminists or not.
Mine is, why can't y'all pay bills?

Which law says men are the only ones to pay bills?

What can y'all offer these men that pay bills?

Seems people are confusing being a "female" with "feminism"... Feminism is an ideology which some people believe in. A man could b a feminist.
I agree with you on this...

Watch our resident broke boys attack her because their favourite part of feminism is a woman paying her own way through life! They won't support her grin

She has lost on all fronts. Maybe if she added I will kneel down before my husband, she could've saved herself the bashing from both angles...

I hope you know the word “broke” applies to both gender? . There are more broke girls/ladies than broke boys/men in the whole world. A place like Nigeria is worse . Even you that typed this stuff I'm not sure you can afford a flat on your own.

But if typing broke on social media will make you fulfilled or put $ in your account, it's okay.

Broke and feminist are the most abused words on social media.

And when did the feminists mention that they will pay bills when they go out on dates or become the breadwinners in their homes? cheesy

This one is just lazy lady and looking for where to chop free. I'm sure her husband no go see her one kobo chop because she will always remind him that he's the head of the house hence he should foot all the bills. angry

You're kidding , right?
Go and learn more about feminism. How can you call yourself a feminist if you can't pay for your own stuff during dates?
I guess this is one of the reasons Nigerian men believe feminism doesn't exist in Nigeria.

Mary Jane says she doesn't consider herself equal to a man because she expects him to foot the bills.

Read what she wrote;
"I just can't find myself being a feminist because if I go on a date with a man well he has to pay, my husband is the head of the family because he must pay I and my children's bills. There's nothing like gender equity because I am not equal to a man period!"

Her life, her choice.

How a sane human will declare she's inferior to another human because of her gender is what still amazes me.

It'll take centuries if not forever before African women would be liberated from the whimps of Stockholm syndrome.


Like I said in one thread yesterday ,only poor women think they're not equal to men.

If this lady has money and a well paying job, I believe her entire existence won't depend on men.

I still stand by my words that sending most Nigerian ladies to university is a waste of resources .

Nigerian ladies seem to believe that the word “broke” only applies to men.

Hence a lady who can't boast of 50k will call a man who can afford 300k broke.

That's good to know. Just know that feminists are the ones who have given you a choice in the matter. You are exercising the gift they've given you and you don't even know it. They've opened the cage door and you can decide to fly out or stay inside; nevertheless, you won't feel trapped. In the old days this tweet would have been redundant or even downright disrespectful because it implies that your husband's position as the head of the family was ever in doubt. Nobody would ask you what you want or what you think, it's irrelevant.

You don't agree there are more broke women in this world than men?

In Nigeria alone, 7 out of every 10 women are broke of compared to men . 90% of luxury cars are owned by men.
Companies, newspapers, television stations .

If people are to use that word anyhow it shouldn't be women because most Nigerian women are dependents who can't fend for themselves without help from the men they refer to as broke.

What am I even typing. Even you I'm sure you can't afford a well designed flat.


Like someone just said, Nigerian women think having a pussy means wealth.

I'm off.. Got to attend to more important things.

UMMMMM isn't that what feminism is about partially? Equality in all senses, including paying half of the bills on dates, in the household etc? She's only stating that she expects her man to take care of her, therefore she cannot identify as a feminist. What exactly did she say wrong? It's like you people like feminism when it comes to sharing financial responsibilities but when it comes to equal opportunities in all other aspects, Na problem. You cannot pick and choose sistaaa.

Women cant be broke. Unfortunately we are not identified with money. Thats the harsh truth you need to swallow. We are not desired by how much is in our pockets, therefore calling a woman broke does absolutely nothing to her value. Its the complete opposite for men, so understand that. Your masculinity revolves around how much you earn. Its the harsh truth.

Feminism is demonic anyway.

Men and women are equal in DIGNITY but not equal in ROLE.

The man is the HEAD of the home and the woman is the HEART of the home.

So the lady is partially right in my opinion.

It's the man's responsibility to protect and provide for his family. The woman's responsibility is to support the man.

Your feminity revolves around the size of your pussy,right?. Broke dreamer.

I believe you have a browser on your phone. Go and check the meaning of “broke” on Google.
Broke applies to both gender TBH. If you're worth only 100k and because you've a pussy you think you're not broke, you're the most deluded individual in the world.

What amazes me is the fact that you quoted me to say this bullshît.

That you're the sole provider doesn't mean you're the head over another human. She's your equal .afterall nobody forced you to be the sole provider, your ego did.

You're the sole provider doesn't stop you from cooking for your wife and cleaning the home.

More so different time zone, it's not time for work here.


Get up and get to the highest on your career, go make that money and make your parents proud for sending you to school. You're a woman doesn't mean you shouldn't hustle.

The lady is being nonsensical, since when does paying for a meal has anything to do with feminism.

It is simply wrong to expect one party to pay all the time, since most ladies are just as skillful and educated as their male counterparts these days.

I guess after going through a heartbreak now, this one too will start claiming feminism cheesy

She will be using feminism as an avenue to voice frustration from past relationships, by shaming every man that comes her way.


Nonsense!


Feminism is an advocacy for equal rights between the sexes.

It is really ridiculous to reduce it to issues surrounding free meal tickets, or an avenue for vengeance or an opportunity to massage over bloated egos
