StacyO: But men are allowed to do so Women should stop comparing themselves to men,and focus on working on their feminity and character Most of them think the more intelligent they are the more attractive they become but the reverse is the case |

StacyO: You keep bringing up feminist talking points. If you are not a feminist, then don't keep using their arguments. First, there is no discrimination against the girl child in Nigeria. They are given the same opportunities to go to school and to work as equivalent boy children from the same social strata; maybe even more so. Saying that girl children are compelled to 'sit at home and wait for husbands' is simply disingenuous and absolutely something only a feminist would say. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

StacyO: It's what the society inculcated in them right from childhood and is still is up on till now with the way women dress almost naked this days, showing a lot of body parts and when a boy/man looks, he gets embarrassed or a stern look. 1 Like |

StacyO: Because majority of them are actually are. We see them around us everyday. No job, no education, just living alone without parents but with their peers. All what they do is................ you know now. Any responsible parent who have girl child should do everything in his power to protect her, give her as much as she needs until she's old enough, empowered enough to be independent. 1 Like |

StacyO: Comprehension is essential. There's nothing logical about your article, you wrote a bunch of STEREOTYPICAL statements based on your limited experiential evidence and passed it on as though it was a generally accepted norm in society. That's why I told you to understand how stereotypes work before making your assertion. Logic is based on factualities not anecdotes. Your first statement that women are treated as "second class citizens in Nigeria", Q: Is that a fact? Where's the evidence "Young girls aren't granted freedom until they're ready to settle down" Q: How often does this happen? Do they put a gun to their heads? Where's the evidence that it happens to all the women in Nigeria "They were not granted privilege to be independent" Independence isn't gotten by privilege, it is gotten by hard work and self-sufficiency. If I want to go further, I could go on and on to point out dozens of inconsistencies in your piece. If you're writing facts, present data to back it up, if you're writing an experience, then don't generalize. If you're stating your personal opinion, do it coherently. |

StacyO: That's the reason it's easier for our parents to want to let go of their male children while trying their best to keep their female children. It's called love. Generally, the society believed the male child is strong and should be able to cater for himself, that we are less exposed to risk living alone. This is true to some extent if you will agree with me. |

Iretii0511: Yes. I got the point behind the whole issue. *society* *protection* Thanks for your time. |

The way a girlchild is brought up is quite different in that she is expected to be prim and decent before heading to her husband's house. And this involves: grooming her in her father's house on the dos and don'ts of a lady; grooming her for marriage. For instance, she is not allowed to leave without taking permission. She is not allowed to attend outings as she's expected to be homely. Any act of disobedience is subject to harsh chastisement. Her life is under close supervision like a job. Even her privacy is infringed upon. But that is africa for you. At the end of the day, such a girl may never experience independence in her lifetime. Although, things are changing, there is still a long way to go. |
