NeoTesla: If a feminist is someone who demands equal rights, equal representation and equal opportunity, then the word should not only be left in the dictionary, but should also be celebrated. However, the feminists I know demand something more: equal representation. That is just as devious as it is silly because it insidiously sanctions the use of quota at the expense of merit. What is wrong if the most competent people are placed in positions they are fit for be they male or female? Feminism as it stands today, with its insane weapon - political correctness, are simply symptoms of a world going crazy.

tomakint: @ OP, your perspicuous analyses on this topical issue of 'gender balance' portrays you a brilliant scholar that really master this topic with a class! First thing first, while I respect the female gender to a large and most times to an unbearable extent, I have come to discover that the term 'gender balance' being propagated by decision bodies and think tanks worldwide is nothing but a flawed doctrine because a man is distinctly different from a woman! Morphologically, intellectually, emotionally, radically, socially, spiritually and in creativity, if you pile these factors together and put them on a scale, men still towers above women in all spheres, this is not a means to pick on the female genders but just stating my own candid opinion! I love women because they make the world go round!

Uyi Iredia: Nice write-up.

esere826: @op

move this to the familly section
I feel it would be a better platform to assess your points

baby_123: Chauvinistic bull crap. Men are not equal to women. Save all this for your wife and children, and make sure you let them read it everyday. If women didnt fight for their rights, i wonder if your mother, sister's, cousins and future female children would be able to speak and be heard. A woman is not equal to a man, but can carry your biased brain for 9months and give birth to you, yet you reward her with such a limited article. Next time in your article, clearly state the women in your family are not equal to men in their abilities. Stop spreading falsehood, as women we have come a long way and will keep prodding on. Look at the statistics, women keep winning while men keep going to jail in numbers. A small quiz for you: Which gender has the highest number of graduates, and is most employed these days? I just cant with this write-up.

Matthew briggs:

How do I do it.

Matthew briggs:

Did you even bother to read and digest what I wrote... before jumping to uninformed conclusions... .

Try to see my logic and fault me if I am wrong with respect. Look at the paragraphs that contains my assertion.

I clearly stated that in one of My paragraphs ..."The truth is that no Gender is superior to the other, or inferior to the other, but instead they complement each other" Until both genders understand this. We'll keep fighting the wrong battles and getting no results.


Remember I stated that...A "Modern educated woman" is not synonymous to bitchy, stubborn, aggressive, overbearing controlling, and domineering:-

Men I tire.... women as so emotional for real... am laughing in Chinese

baby_123:

I read your write-up, tinged wih a high level of sarcasm on high handedness. Doesnt take a lot to get all the hidden meanings. I guess slaves, gays and other minority groups should have put on their best clothes and sat down convincing people to give them a chance with soft voices and cooking their oppressors best meals and stroking their egos. Maybe you as a black man should have been submissive enough to wait till you are granted freedom to be a human being. Why the apartheid, MLK talks in baptist churches, MLK marches despite being humiliated and watered down with hoses, slave revolts and other struggles to get what you want. O, that aggressiveness should only be restricted to certain groups, as women are seemingly weaker than men, and should stay in the bubble where they are forever. They should be grateful that anyone has let them come so far. They can achieve more if only they will stop being aggressive. *yea, we know how well that has worked*

esere826:

Interestingly, i get and suuport both the Op's point and yours too
I think they work hand in hand to achieve results
Something like Martin Luther King and Malcom X (thesis and anithesis) plying into the consciousness of the society
like hot knife through butter

Matthew briggs:

Baby_123 there is no sarcasm in my post... but hard truths that most women wouldn't want to hear.

I am not against women fighting for there right, I am totally behind them... what I tried to highlight via my post is some ideologies that would help them in the fight... because i Have Discovered most women are fighting the wrong battles, the wrong people and still wondering why they are not getting any result.

And I ended my post asking readers to clear any misconception... As a person I always keep an open mind.

baby_123:

Let me ask you a question. Who are you to tell people how they should react or fight for their rights when you have no idea what it is to be a woman? You probably have no idea what it means to be discriminated against because you had no influence of the circumstances of your birth, age, race or gender? Drop your misconceptions and high handed advice. Employ women and encourage them. The seeds you sow today, your daughters will reap tomorrow. Women are no weaker than men, when you can push out a 7lb baby from a hole the size of a keyhole, come back and talk about strength. About our struggles and how we go about it, leave that to us women. We will go with what works, if in your mind that equals losing our femininity then so be it. Until you know what it is to be a woman, and the struggles then I suggest you save the uncalled for conclusions. Stop looking at women as a weaker vessel or sex object, maybe then, you will be able to see above and beyond your bias. Yes, this write-up is biased.

Matthew briggs:

I agree with you observation. Both point views can work hand In hand I.e my objective and pragmatic view plus her passionate and aggressive view. Baby_123 I am not the enemy the fabric of the society is.

Matthew briggs:

Everyone is free in regards to his or her opinion... like you stated I have no idea of what it is like to be a woman that very true... but point of correction I never see women as sex objects even when majority of them prefer to be seen as such... I know and respect the tremendous value they bring to the table at their place of work, family and society. Women are the pillar that holds a nation...infact the world indirectly revolves around them. I never see them as weaker, stronger or equal vessels. I see we both as vessels that compliment each other.

You think this article is biased... I think its objective like I said earlier we are all entitled to our opinions. It's been fun getting your candid opinion.

baby_123:
What? Can you handle such a mental and physical exercise? Abi the description was too graphic. Iwo ntie "pulls coogar's ear"

coogar:

but it begs the question - how did the baby get there? do women just eat like chickens and reproduce?

baby_123:
To you humping, moaning and spraying sp*erm in delight equals strength. Why don't you carry 7lbs for a few months and try to sh-ite it out? Maybe get a tear and they sew you up

baby_123:

You are welcome, but in your naturally biased mind I am "aggressive and other choice words" but you are being "pragmatic etc", because you encountered a woman with a different and valid point of view. Open your mind. It was wonderful exposing you to other opinions. . You are not the enemy, but people like you fan the flames in your own little way, and try to sway the views of society.

coogar:

do you think it's easy to produce semën? if it is, i would like to watch you produce it. humping, moaning and spraying is no child's play. give us our respect!!!

Matthew briggs:

I don't have an unfair preconceived opinion like you stated. And people like me fan the flames of reality and objectivity in our own little way... helping to sway ideals we think might help in your fight.

Yes its also wonderful Exposing and getting you to see things from a man's perspective.

baby_123:
Sperm already created by your body? This is like me claiming credit for producing spit. When you can stand the pain of a tear from your an*us to your scrotum, and all associated discomforts of pregnancy, come back and talk about strength.

Sure, a man's perspective. Finally you admit. . This is womanly wiles working. You just dropped your acclaimed super intelligent argument on the floor. Lol, just joking.

coogar:

it's no way near producing spit. all humans can produce spit but females can't produce sêmen. the discomfort of pregnancy is made obvious because women are the weaker sex. it can't be worse than a man suffering from blue balls after getting a sumptuous lap-dance. we are men, we are not meant to moan.
