Are you people for real? For goodness sakes this is all for fun. Are you not on twitter? Don't you see that all this is just for humor sakes?

Don't you understand how such hash tags work? Everything is always aimed at humor although mostly to drive a point, but it is still all just for fun.
That's why you see exaggerations of all kind.

Must you guys always be too serious about everything?

lilmax:
of course i know,i am asking you because you claim 50:50,you make it look as if a woman who leave her job to take care of her child have no ambition

Truckpusher:
If a man can't provide for his immediate household the same women will call him names and label him a failure and these mor0nic feminists don't see it as a discrimination.

One was just on twitter ranting that broke guys shouldn't come near her with the mindset to toast her - The question here is ; If I can buy you why should you demand equality?

Truckpusher:
And in your right sense of judgement you don't think that a misandrist can mask herself with feminism to emotionally and psychologically batter men?

cococandy:
I painted I picture?
I'm sure you must think I tweeted all those tweets there.

I got married earlyish. Trust me If I was still single, given a few years more, the derisive comments will start coming. As if being single makes me less of a human. I see it happen to lots single ladies. Because I'm married doesn't mean I should pretend like it does not exist.

Yes Nigerians ladies are hard-working. Is it the same thing as having a voice?

Honestly, I used to be so hot-headed about these issues when I was younger, like when my aunt would berate me for not enjoying staying in the kitchen 'because I'm a girl' until I stopped to think..so what? Who cares about the few ignorant statements some people make?

If you live in modern educated society, women have the same rights as men. You can hold public office, vote, drive, get married, divorce etc. Of course, male and female privilege and other double standards will continue to exist, millions of years of evolution and societal conditioning make sure of that.

Fewer women than men are interested in STEM courses, starting their own companies or running for higher political posts, it's a self-imposed handicap. You can't sit on your butt demanding 'change' when it's well within your power and rights to do anything you want.

If folks are serious about equality, they should call for the abolition of bride price. The bride price culture is a strong pillar of the patriarchy in Naija.

Truckpusher:
You don't have a voice and that okpolo eye lady was controlling the economy of more than 250 million people while running the number one source of the country's revenue, while the other one was making almost all our policies as it concerns our economy?

Na wao - Maybe we should deploy only women to conquer Boko Haram then you guys can be happy

babygirlfl:


I am saying they can be both misandrist and feminist just like they can be both intelligent and a feminist. They don't need to mask it. It's other people that interprete it as masking.

teelady:

ya right no time, but not all ladies are that lucky......am a lady and i hate to say this most ladies nowadays dnt want to be a part of any man's hustle no more and the rich dudes cant go round. Being part of a man struggle atimes has it advantage. If only we knew

cococandy:
A few women among the thousands of people in govt is not a true representation of the female population. That's said, having women in govt is not a total measure of women's rights having been granted.

We can have women in govt and women's rights won't be protected because it doesn't affect them, be so they don't care.
The standard is that whether the govt is dominated by men or women, everyone both men and women should be treated fairly under it.

Tufiakwa nke gi

Truckpusher:
They will never call for it.

Ask cococandy about her opinion on this.

Even in my LGA they have finally tagged a 250,000 naira price tag on them like tubers of yam, yet boys dey run


My cousin spent almost 1.5 million naira for family trad things not even the main traditional marriage o, while the wedding is still another level.

Omo! na baby mama sef naim sure pass.

ronald4lif:


Do we have such women here?.

cococandy:
Why haven't you asked my opinion about it yourself.
I don't fancy the culture of bride price too.
I do love traditional marriages tho. So let's not confuse the two.
I think I've had this debate before and it got personal because I had to go into details about how I tried to balance that out when I got married.

But believe me I'm not in support of it.

But your husband paid?

And your uncles collected and pocketed and you are here screaming equal right?


If I swear for you eh - make I leave you sha ,you be my sister.


If not *snaps finger*

macof:

All that has to do with runs girl aaccusations are lies
Also a single independent woman having a sugar daddy. ..this is just lame
How can you even believe this?

cococandy:
that's my point, I'm not about to gist you what happened and who paid what or didn't pay. Or if it was returned or if my family had rights of their own that they had to perform to my husband's family which involved spending too. Because it gets personal and is just an avenue for miscreants to come and start blabbing rubbish. I Did that once, not gonna do it again.

The fact that it is called bride price is even enough to is scrap it.

Can it be called bride Prize


To show the accomplishment of becoming a bride

Teempakguy:
is true nah.
How can a woman be surpassing the men in a place academically or physically What are they doing

cococandy:
lmao.

No it shouldn't be called anything.

ronald4lif:


Well, without being biased or fear of any contradiction, I don't only believe some of these societal misconception pointed out in those tweets but I have, as a matter of fact, observed some of the contents occurring. Even if we haven't had personal encounters with people who are culpable in this prejudice we must have heard it from mates or just from those we're unacquainted with.

I have, both online and offline observe where guys (and sometime girls too) make annotations that are designed to pressurize women adopting a lifestyle which they deem as their mandate and ladies must abide to. Most of the time they are geared to remind ladies to get married and for those who aren't married at 30+ they're look down upon as either rejects, or having tasteless demeanours. Others are thought to have swashbuckling disposition which either scare men from them or they are whores. Men are equally victims of societal platitudes and we would address them whenever they're raised but this time it's about women. Not about feminism championing here.

Are you oblivious of the fact that most churches have programs which aimed at grooming girls of how to become a perfect wife with same churches having little or no such programs for the guys. How about girls always being reminded of how they should get married once they clock 20+ and very few guys are mettled in similar manner.

While I'm not discouraging this stereotypical practice I'm not encouraging it either. I'm only pointing them as true and factual but you or anyone else do not have to agree. However, I'm perplexed why these tweets are coming from Nigerian women, who usually revel in this repressive attitude among themselves. Uncountable times we see these women curse themselves out and throw shades and trite remarks at each other for not getting married and whatnots. What happened?.

liquidmetall:






So you married so early and yet you want some of our sisters here to think marriage is not an achievement,
some of them single in their late 30's here will even join you to shout marriage is not an achievement

While you ran off to marry so early
