The problem with you Nigerian "men" is INSECURITY. If not, you won't have any qualms with gender equality which is what feminism stands for.

It's about giving women equal opportunities in employment, promotion, politics, business etc. I don't think any real man should have a problem with that. Only insecure half men would see problem with that because for such "men" to succeed, they must take advantage of female suppression. While the real men compete with their female counterpart and outperform them. That's the class of men to which I want to belong.

And from my experience as a Nigerian, I know that Nigerian women do much better than some men when given the opportunity. So, why won't I support feminism which seeks to avail women such opportunities? Even when I am a beneficiary of such? If my big sis had not been educated and given the opportunity to work, perhaps I would have been in the street, doing some odd jobs and beating chest that I am a "man".

Sometimes I even pray I have only female children.

The idea of feminism is pleasant to the ears of many women, but why are the advantages of being a feminist being considered only. Have any feminist sat down to really consider the disadvantages of being equally treated as a man?
Go to the packs, bus-stops, offices, the streets, homes, just anywhere and view the way men live their lives, the struggles they go through each day. Men go through alot daily, even those that u'l never hear with your ears nor see with your eyes.
The vulgar words they use on themselves, how many ladies would come out of the rooms if spoken to that way.
Or they way men are trained from little how to not cry, hide their emotions, pushed above limits because he is a man and has to be strong. How many women can take that training.
Please Let's just leave everything the way God made it. He has a reason for everything.
Besides that, All those saying they want feminism should take a look at the recent Amber Rose slut-walk and see want the feminist really want. IF YOU THINK FEMINISM IS ABOUT JUST BEING EQUALLY TREATED, THEN YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED, AND YOUR IDEA ABOUT FEMINISM IS A ZERO.
You know nothing about feminism. Agreed that some ladies abuse the whole concept, but that does not mean the concept should be discarded. Feminism came as result of long years of female suppression by the male folk. It is about providing equal opportunities for women in business, politics, education and employment. And to fight against all forms of female suppression.

God did not create the females to be subservient to the males. Rather, humans (males) created all ideas to keep the females subservient to them.
The female gender have the capacity to perform all tasks if all inhibitions are removed. Go to families that have all females or those where firstborn children are females, there you will see the strength of the female gender.

Though a male, I support feminism which seeks to provide equal opportunities to males and females because I know that humanity will be much better when the females are given equal opportunities as their male counterparts.

Go and make more research on the comment you made here. Am the first child and daughter of my parents, I have seen 1st daughters of families and not all of them are responsible like me so don't generalize.
Women are no more suffering, women are now ministers, CEO of companies, women are now highly respected and can be seen in very respectable positions and offices.
You can only be treated the way you portray yourself, your self-esteem, your goals and determinations, your achievements also. The same also applies to men, women aren't suffering. It only depends on yourself.
The idea of feminism are for those lazy women who wants things to favour them on a platter of gold.
Infact take for instance those homes where the wife is the bread winner. Only very few still behave cool headed to their husbands. Or very wealthy women and those with high positions check the characters they protray. Give those kind of women opportunities and the world is done for. Don't seek for something that even you would end up regretting.
I'm a lady. I know very well what we can do with any slight opportunity, it could get out of hand.

selfish interest is what motivates such thinking, no be lie, for bible no woman was ever the head shocked
I don't know what version of the Bible you read,but I've come across Power Women in the Holy Book such as Esther,Naomi,Rahab,Lydia,Abigail,Eve,MaryM,Jezebel,Delilah etc. Women aren't the head only in a 'family setting'. Nothing stops a woman from trumping a man who isn't her husband. Afterall,the criterion for submission was 'marriage'.
Let's go with the theory of men being the 'head' then. Head is to men as Backbone is to women. Feminism is only trying to tell you what any good doctor knows;The head is non-existent without the backbone.
I am a Feminist and I love and respect men. Its not about competing,its about recognizing our differences and respecting it. I may not be able to do what you can do as a man,but you cannot do what I can do as a woman either. We're unique- Different yet equal. That's what my type of feminism is about-recognizing our differences but respecting ourselves nonetheless

You are very wrong on your understanding of feminism.

You forgot that all those milestones you mentioned were made possible by the efforts of early feminists who worked for gender equality. Before now in Africa, how were women treated? Of course , as second class citizens who were meant to be seen but never heard. Before now in nigeria women education was considered as useless because they were supposed to end up in the kitchen. But now we have more women getting educated and taking up more jobs in fields that were hitter to considered as masculine. All these were made possible by the works of early feminists. Some cultures such as in igboland forbid women from inheriting properties owned by their dads. While in other cultures such as in Hausa land, women education and participation in business and politics was a taboo. Those are the things feminism stands to fight.

Mind you that feminism does not seek that you become men and cease to be women should that be fear. It's about equal right in life endeavors between the sexes.

I understand that some ladies take the whole idea of feminism to a different and flawed direction but that does not negate what feminism is all about. Even in patriarchal societies, you still find men who take things to extremity. It's in human nature but moderation should always be the watchword. I know many homes where the wives win the bread, the husbands support and behave themselves and peace reigns.
Many men also become unfaithful to their wives while some even become physically abusive when they are the sole breadwinners. How many guys nowadays can marry a lady who will not contribute to the finances of the house? Yet they don't want feminism and gender equality. Or should I say that they misunderstand the idea behind feminism.
Please research further on feminism, and when you are at it try and concentrate more on factual information on the concept. Stop reading stuff from insecure "men" who attack feminism by uploading all whatnot on the net.
