99cent: if anything, u are the one who have called me names. but again, I have thick skin so I can handle it. That has been your 'stock-in-thread'(sic) Wat does trojan horse have to do with the issue She identified herself as not being a feminist |
Re: We Should All Be Feminists- Chimamanda Adichie by 99cent: 12:44am On Jun 30, 2013 |
biolabee: re-read my post where I mention trojan horse. and search for the context. context is key. Metaphorically a "Trojan Horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or space. It is also associated with "malware" computer programs presented as useful or harmless to induce the user to install and run them. she is woman. so she can be used by men as a trojan horse to penetrate the feminist space. unless u are also assuming that I was calling her a computer malware in that case, I apologize. next time, I will use simple words when responding to your post and try not to confuse you too much with metaphors. |

@99cent, I don't think you're intelligent as you claim. Your thesis and argument on this matter are totally false. I just think you're one of those girls/women who enjoys attention and performance high so you make up this false claims so people could awe at your false intelligence if you even have one. Like I.Joan said, if you truly believe in today's world that women don't enjoy equal rights as men then you need to get your head examined. I think you need exposure. |

In order to keep the peace here i kept refraining myself from making the same comment. Fellis talking about DNA as if it was garri just made me nearly through my laptop away in complete shock. |

99cent: Why will she penetrate the feminist space You seem to have a siege mentality - we versus them incl. Men n women Funny |

99cent: why would men need to penetrate the feminist space? when there are an abundance of other women out there who have their heads screwed on tight? Complete waste of time and space. 1 Like |

"performance high"? again you must have seen that somewhere. but if you are trying to call me dumb, then I will tell u right off the bat that I am NOT dumb. i'm not one of those "girls" you hang around. I will leave you to your machinations. but plz stop putting words in my mouth. i'm still waiting for the list of thousands of women CEOs of global companies that you talk about. |

99cent: Why associate with something that is unnecessary? Most people are indifferent to feminism (and not necessarily anti-feminists) because what you claim to fight for is not necessary here... Both men and women have equal rights in my environment! I will respect you guys if you move to India, Saudi Arabia..etc and fight for women instead of fighting men online! 3 Likes |

davidylan: Yeah, I saw an argument about the DNA of a cancerous cell not being the same as that of it's host. I know I am no rocket scientist but I have some common sense. I just shrugged and laughed at that comment. |

I.Joan: it's ok to be indifferent to feminism. I was for a while and I still am once in a while. but it is dangerous. holocaust happened because millions of people were indifferent. lots of horrible things happen because people are indifferent. the horrible things don't just start out of nowhere. it builds up gradually and when there is no opposition to it, it picks up steam. but when you are anti-feminist you are coming from a place of hatred for women's rights. I hope your post is a way to clarify that you are not anti-feminist but rather only indifferent to the idea. i'm glad men and women have equal rights in your environment. thank the feminists who made it possible. that USA is not india or Saudi Arabia. and the feminists who are continuing to fight to keep women's rights from being taken away. |
Re: We Should All Be Feminists- Chimamanda Adichie by Nobody: 12:54am On Jun 30, 2013 |
99cent: perhaps because fewer women are interested in being CEOs than men? there are far more white female CEOs than black male CEOs... perhaps your fight is rather misplaced. Maybe you should start with fighting for black rights first and leave feminism to white women who at least dont have the "disadvantage" of skin color like you do. 3 Likes |

99cent: you mean we are going to be herding women to gas chambers next? Now this thread has devolved into desperate mudslinging. |
Re: We Should All Be Feminists- Chimamanda Adichie by 99cent: 12:56am On Jun 30, 2013 |
davidylan: sure. blacks are also very uninterested in education and success. most of them like jail environment. in fact, many of them enjoyed slavery and were loyal to their masters. as a matter of fact, even in Nigeria, imagine nigeria will be a better place if we were still colonized don't u think? silly senseless argument that even u know you are cringing as u type it |

99cent: Actually i had no idea what you were responding to. Blacks, education, rights... help me out here. You seem to just go off on a tangent that has little to do with the post you quote. 1 Like |

davidylan: ok. good for you. what do u mean by "our silence"? I don't see u being silent here. you are as anti-feminist as they come. I bet you could have been one of those men burning the old women in Kenya for being "witches". *puke* |

I.Joan: Oh, lest I forget, if you want to look at a place that supports equal gender rights even more than USA, then look at the Scandinavian countries, especially Iceland. they also have the best education and health care system in the world too! just so you can tell that children benefit a ton also from women having equal rights. |
Re: We Should All Be Feminists- Chimamanda Adichie by Nobody: 1:04am On Jun 30, 2013 |
99cent: Feminism lost its meaning along the way!... If I was an adult in the 60's I would have fought for women's rights because it made sense then and it was a just cause with a well defined meaning! But now, what exactly are you fighting for? ... It's all garbage!!! Nothing is stopping any woman from doing anything she wants to do now! So, what are you actually fighting for? 3 Likes |
