pocohantas:Lol. I pointed out the same fact earlier. No morön can call me a bitter, frustrated, angry misandrist. Well, unless he's chronically mentally ill. The best they can do is call us pussies, weaklings, that ass-lick women and "do not deserve to have a dick". That's rather funny to me. |

DeadRat: these clowns here are dominatrix wannabes...too much of supergirl porns is disturbing their brains. didn't they attend the same schools with boys? was the marking scheme of their school tests/exams manipulated to favour the boys against them? it's no wonder most of them don't believe in God. i remember one of them telling me she's a god herself...too big to be created by a Supreme Being and she can't be foolish enough to worship Someone she can't see. in fact, she doesn't believe in God...if there's actually a God He's her equal. i just shook my head. meanwhile, i support feminism among married couples 100%. at least, i'll have to share all bills and responsibilities with her EQUALLY. unfortunately, such girls don't exist in nigeria. even the so-called feminists depend on men to provide their needs. 2 Likes |

Spot on @ it's no wonder most of them don't believe in God. The mere fact that they are have shallow belief in point is a pointer , a clear indicative of deeper personal issues that needs attention 1 Like 1 Share |

IamiKayJayCee: LOL...lucky you. It's subtle bullying, trying to give you tags that make you associate less with a noble cause. I remember how one kept blabbing about how I was raped as a kid by male family members because of my extreme hatred for rapist and rapist apologist. If I was male, I doubt he would pull such dumb logic. It's all subtle bulling. Their way or no other way... |

pocohantas:you don't hate 'rapists' and their apologists. you hate men naturally, such hate that leads you to condemn all men when one is found guilty of rape. but if a woman rapes a young boy, it's ok. in fact, the little boy was done a favor because he "he touched big breasts".. bloody hypocrite! 4 Likes |

makydebbie:Now we're getting somewhere. I'm not saying self love is bad, I'm saying too much of it is bad. That my dear is what the OP is about. I even mentioned it here, she loves herself so much to the point of having issues with her boyfriend and not even bothering to even talk things out with him. Like she can't be bothered, she loves herself so much not to give a damn. She hates confrontation. That's what I was trying to point out. My dear, too much of everything is bad. When one go about screaming about self love, it gets to ones head. Hubris, selfishness and greed comes in. I love you that's why I replied your mention, now if I love myself too much why should I be bothered about replying your mention? Hope you get my drift, babe? 1 Like 1 Share |

Mindfulness:i believe it makes people become narcissists. As for who taught me this belief, I've seen enough to make me arrive at this belief. No! If Mandela had not loved himself, he would not have had the confidence and strength to pull through. As a matter of fact, he was able to endure 27 years in his own company. Could a person who hates himself do it?Nope. The strength to pull through came from what he believed in. From what he was fighting for. Loving himself had nothing to do with it. Even prisoners on death row endure and enjoy their own company. That's what people in prison do. So don't get it twisted. A man who doesn't love himself, cannot love others. Even your Bible tells you to love 'your neighbor as yourself'. This, my dear, is a very wise piece of advice.Love your neighbour as yourself. Not love yourself to the point of being selfish. Now let us talk about our respective definitions of selfishness. For me selfishness is not to love myself and forget about others, it is about me loving myself so much that my love can spill over onto others. Saying that self-love prevents you from loving others is like saying that making money stops you from sharing it with others. If you are poor, you have not much to share. If you hate yourself, you have no love to give. If you are sad, you cannot give happiness. If you are fearful, you cannot make anyone confident. It's that simple.Now I believe our respective definition of 'selfishness' defer. For me I tend to go with how the dictionary define selfishness. Like I once said, don't confuse selflessness with selfishness. I believe that's what you just did. |

trustyshoess:we can all clamour for "liberal feminism",but,the truth is that the society has been stratified and many factor has make it dificult.Feminist or not, the society has absorb the reality that 'women' holds a pivotal role in the modern society,while men also have their own functional role which cannot be underestimated.In mordan days,u can achieve ur goals in as much you have got the guts and resilience irrespective of your gender.But,emotion,happines,self fulfilment is stil deeply rooted from interaction and association with different gender be it a man or a woman,its not a "one side thing".Only if u seize to be more human.Ideology atimes is really difrent from reality,its just a way to measure the proximity of reality in order to serve as a measuring rod. 1 Like |

Jupxter: i'm not lying, bro. that's quoting her exactly by her own words. instead of condemning rape for the evil it stands for she cunningly shifted goalposts by making a comparison of the trauma effect on both male and female victims: for girls it's heartbreaking. for boys it's enjoyment because "they touched big breasts". 1 Like |

Daeylar:Lol. Although, I doubt the possibility, given how difficult it is, but if they ever manage to pull off the madness of tainting gender equality as well, we would simply change our position to a STATEMENT, as opposed to terms that are susceptible to corruption, so we would have something like, "Support for FAIRNESS and EQUAL STANDARD of judgement in all facets of life, regardless of your race, tribe, family background, sexuality, age, gender, religion, nationality, height, length, breadth, weight, density, volume, shape, mass......."

FTrebirth: 'Feminism' should rather be replaced with 'Humanism' instead of 'Gender Equality.' That one is DoA since we recognize that there are marked differences between the sexes. Humanism, on the other hand, focuses on the one similarity that really matters when discussing fundamental rights. And since the essence of Feminism is to acknowledge the full humanness of women by extending all fundamental human rights (that are available to men) to women as well, humanism just makes the most sense. As you've pointed out, our inequalities as human beings go far beyond gender. There's race, height, weight, complexion, IQ, and all that. But we don't apportion rights to people by considering any of these differences; even when certain physical attributes can have a huge bearing on the persons performance. In the end, what matters is that we are all human beings. And as human beings, we should have human rights. Not men's rights and women's rights. That's really all there is to equal rights and gender equality. I like what you said about letting nature take its course. But the status quo does not do that. Male privilege is like federal character or affirmative action - hugely flawed. It does not allow people achieve based on the merit of their abilities. And do men really need a leg-up in that sense? Male excellence cannot be presumed, it has to be tested and proven just like female capabilities should be. Human beings should be born with equal value to society; they should enjoy opportunities available to them without any unnatural discrimination; and they should establish their ultimate relevance based on their individual abilities. It's not always about sparring in a ring, sometimes, the battles are mental. You imply that feminism has no place in Nigeria. I disagree. People talk about all kinds of flavours of feminism: socialist, radical, liberal, and even (I heard today) depressed feminism. I consider this nonsense. It's an unnecessary multiplication of related dogmas that only ends up creating confusion and stifling the movement. I believe that feminism is organic; it grows out of the soil. It's reactionary just like any other movement that pushes back oppression. If women aren't oppressed, they won't react to oppression (Newton's third law). And the kind of reactions will differ across the globe. Feminism cultured by Nigerian misogyny is different from feminism cultured by Arab, or American misogyny. The manifestos are drawn up accordingly. But at the root of it all is that women want to thrive to their full potential in an environment without unjust influence. And in our own context, unjust influence would include (but is not limited to) things like shaming (or stigmatizing) women for some of their choices even when these choices are perfectly legal; and creating double standards of judgement for moral conduct. These things aren't natural, they're impositions. 9 Likes 7 Shares |
