lawanson44:Smh. What's the crime in my father giving me? Did I beg him for the money or did I tell him to give birth to me. Will you deny that your mother hasn't given you anything and does that make you less a man? If she hasn't, it's not my fault. Ewu! |

As someone who believes in Feminism, it doesn't equate to this situation. I believe that as a feminist, my boss should treat me the exact way he treats everyone else. No calling him "Uncle this" because I want special treatment then getting upset later. That is true Equality, no special favours. No special "let me consider your feelings in this matter". Just acknowledge that I am human like you. But being condescending has nothing to do with Feminism, because Condescension can happen to any gender. In fact Condescension is actually very egalitarian. Life has put Chimamanda above El-Nathan due to achievement but he's looking at himself as her equal because of Ageism. People have been condescended to and later won the respect of that same person. It wasn't via magic. If Woke Soyinka had said this (and he has) we would not hear about this. If he had whined, everyone would have laughed in El-Nathan's face. But it stung his pride because a woman who doesn't have grey hairs said it to him (yep he would have swallowed it from an older woman). If he wanted to be treated as her equal, he should not have been kneeling down in front of her to thank her, as her subordinate. Well we can all agree to disagree and let us live our lives the way we choose. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Vickybee: Well, at least I don't berate or debase women the way you do to men so I have no qualms with my mum. But you who is a die-hard feminist is still doing "daddy my pad has finished" which means without your dad (a man) you would have been standing at Allen Avenue at night. Check out 99% of feminists, they erase dependency on all men including their fathers. Your feminism just like most Nigerian women I know is just the attention-seeking type. Your grouse is especially against Nigerian men and young lady, it won't make us change who we are one bit. If you can't deal with it, relocate to Ghana as you said you prefer their men in one of your ranting posts! Aturu!! 1 Like |

Onegai:Exactly, this isn't about feminism but a Madam and her boy. It would have been a different case if they don't have any relationship or are husband and wife. Madam has the right to talk to her subordinate anyhow be it male or female. Had it been Wole Soyinka tag her female student a girl and she replied to protect her ego, all them will still blame the woman. Bunch of hypocrites. |

Vickybee:"A madam and her boy" ! Just listen to yourself! You're letting your raving feminism (and that's a euphemism) cloud your judgment. Who is the madam, and who is the 'boy' ? Because he attended her workshop? For looking up to her as a role model? And you want gender equality in the name of feminism. Look no farther for the hypocrite. |

Vickybee: 1. Men are Sexists and Chauvinistic in nature Most men are sexists and chauvinistic in nature therefore making them selfish and loathe independent women. They make denigrating remarks about women and you don't expect a serious, logical and virtuous woman to remain with such a rètarded being. Women in other hand, are peace loving and cool but their anti-feminism husband keeps antagonising them and they don't have an option but divorce him. Does that ring a bell? |
