I no a very successful female mechanic who didn't sit down whining and complaining about gender inequality. she went 2 learn and she is d better 4 it.mind u she was tutored by d same men u say put women in a box. would u as a woman no matter d rate of unemployment go and join men in offloading bags of dangote cement? how many would u b able 2 carry? how many head pans of concrete can u carry from 7am to 6pm for 2500naira a day?madam pls stop deceiving urself. if u are married, then u should settle ur gender inequality issues with ur husband. a married woman wouldn't b here saying she isnt appreciated or supported. that clearly shows u aren't resolving ur issues with ur husband

This is the irritating part about Nairaland. You tend to get unnecessarily personal. So because I use the time we in describing the plight of the average woman must mean I am referring to my personal life. You are right I am decieving myself. I thought I was conversing with somebody intellectual.

Sure, to a mad person, everyone else is mad!
You are too daft to understand anything, even if it was 'piped' into your empty head!

shaybebaby:

Annoying when it comes from the other gender but overwhelmingly depressing when someone who is affected by the injustices our gender faces, justifies it.

my own is it should stop making headlines abeg

MarieSucre:


Unfortunately it will continue to make headlines just as Obama becoming president made headlines. As long a Whites see blacks as inferior and Man sees woman as inferior, then headlines will be the order of the day. So take a seat, grab some popcorn because this is the century of headlines.

kyaagbanairaland:
A lady will claim to love a guy and not av single respect for the guy. Talks to him anyhow even in the presence of her friends, shouts at him anyhow on phone and in person. To hell with such love. Respect a man wholeheartedly and u will make him love u forever.

Mindfulness:


If you were that stupid, the injustice would be the least of your problems. Deform.ed vag.ina from s.ex.

AyeeIdris:


it's ok my brother. We all share diverse views on this feminist issue and it's ok. If I must know, I am also a "meninist'. Once represented a man in court seeking child maintenance from the wife for the three kids. Trust Naija, people...men and women.... were snickering in court but we didn't care. If a woman raising kids can ask for child support, so can men. I believe fathers too should get some form of paternity leave too. So my grouses is not simply for women, it is equality for mentry too.

Personally speaking, I am grateful to the men in my life. From my father who nurtured me to the peak of academic excellence to a husband who brought me into his field and in his own Nigerian man way has helped me strike a balance between a 6 day gruelling work schedule, kids and home life. Embracing feminism does not mean I have forgotten their roles in my life or trying to be the head of the house. No.

Daboomb:


You are a dunce, seriously!
You are just so mixed-up you are talking rubbish. Why dont you use a Dictionary first, before defining nonsense?

The above is an example of what we are talking about!

What manner of a FEMALE, says "Women are handicapped by nature"?
Is that not a defeatist mentality in itself?

Any woman that sees herself as "naturally handicap" by nature, will never achieve anything meaningful in life because on each occasion when her mates are working hard, facing challenges and surmounting them, all she sees and thinks in her brain is that "she is naturally handicapped and therefor cannot measure-up".
This is called the "Blame mentality" - You blame others for your failures and point fingers, instead of accepting responsibility lik emen do, buckle up and move-up the ladder.

A woman like the above are the types that are waiting for the Job to be dropped on their lap, for them to be promoted in an office because they have Boobs and some hairs between the leg, to have the same salary and position as that hard-working male..... because hey,., they can blame every failure and inadequacy of theirs on NATURE!

- Can a man carry pregnancy for 9months?
- Can he even eat food and remain constipated for just 9days?
- Do Men breastfeed babies?
Are these not one "immeasurable advantages" of women over men, one which they use to the fullest in terms of relationship with their children?

Or have we not heard women tell their children and even threaten them about "if not in this my stomach you were conceived or if not this my Bosom you suckle for x.y.z years"? ...just to soften the child and make him/her bend to their wishes?


Please all women in the house, whether you are for or against "Quota System" in form of Gender Equalization.... tell this woman to wake up and smell the coffee!
Tell her to stop calling you HANDICAPED BY NATURE!
Why would an employer want to chose a "handicap by nature", to head a very important aspect of their business?

Men too can claim that their "3rd leg" is a "handicap of nature" if they want to be mentally lazy! (it hardens when they least expect it and causes wahala ).
But hey, intelligent and smart people dont focus on their weakness, they maximise their strengths and develop their weakness!

"A very Bad Farmer is know to blame his Hoe and Cutlass".

Honestly, this discourse is getting putrid and debasing, it s about time we allow the "handicapped" folks to console themselves.
The intelligent and successful women are having a ball while the handicaps are plotting on how they can get their "Quota System"!

Lord have mercy!

Jamb Registrar: Our deliberations did not cover this particular detail, but the meeting became more exciting when the involvement of parents, particularly mothers, was reported. In one centre, a mother was said to have approached the Chief Examiner to ask him to assist her daughter to pass the examination. The Chief Examiner reportedly told her to leave the examination venue, but she insisted that if the Chief Examiner was ready to help, as requested, she was prepared to pay in kind. The alarmed Professor and Examiner told her it was not part of his function to do what she wanted. The UTME, he said is a merit-based examination.

The woman, not giving up, asked for the hotel where the Professor was staying. She offered to join him in the hotel later in the day! In another state, an invigilator lured a young lady to the control room with the promise that if she would co-operate with him, he would help her to pass the UTME. Other invigilators caught the two of them and promptly reported the matter. When the young lady’s mother was informed about what had happened, her response was most unusual. She was not willing to press charges, or talk about the scandal. She was in fact not bothered at all. She would rather talk about something else. What did she want? She wanted JAMB to compensate her daughter with additional 10 marks or more, to make up for the sexual harassment. We were all alarmed. Strange things really happen.

Someone then remarked that JAMB should take a decision and ban mothers from following their children to examination centres and all husbands should be advised to keep an eye on wives who will go to any length to mislead their children. Again, the meeting did not concentrate on this delicate subject. But someone made a point: “You see this thing called corruption. It starts from the home. Many parents are setting very bad examples for their children. There is too much desperation in our country. The anti-corruption campaign should start with parents.

You people are very adept at twisting issues!
Only a foolish man will see the FEMALE as INFERIOR!
Humanbeings are Humanbeings, Male or Female but each one has its own UNIQUE role in human relationships, human associations, human development and management.

There are outstanding women everywhere, just as their are outstanding Men everywhere.
The "Yardstick of MEASUREMENT" is their level of Intelligence and Performance, when it matters.

A man certainly becomes inferior, when he tries to become a woman by trying to do or outdo Women in their traditional role.
That does not mean it is the Woman that made him inferior, he is just not equipped to in that specialised area.....and it does not mean that he will not become something better, if he re-adjust and re-focus on his area of advanatge and competence.

Same thing applies to a Woman. Some become "inferior" if and when they say they want to become "Equal to a Man".

Each Gender (Male or female), for those that are sensible, know that when you "specialise and redouble your effort in your areas of strength and core-competence", you can become unbeatable.
Each Gender has its areas of Strength and Weakness, therefore the Opportunities thy can harness are different while the Threats they face are also Unique.

Black People have proven that being inferior is not a question of "skin color", just like Women like Alele Williams, Alakija, etc, have proved that being Superior is not a question of Gender, it has to do with individual abilities of Intelligence, hardwork, persistence, focus and resilience.

Those who are inferior, will always remain inferior, whether male or female, Black or White.

What All Women and Men need is to be treated fairly, in a just and fair-manner, with equal access to all opportunities, irrespective of their GENDER.
This ofcourse, is the very definition of GENDER EQUITY.


End of Story.

Let us keep it "clear and honest" please.

BTW: A Man, a Father should never descend so low as to ask his wife to pay him child-support/maintenance!
He is the Head of the Family, with a duty to provide for his family, irrespective of whether his wife earns or not.
So, if he has his children in his care, all good. he has a duty to take care of them, like when his wife was there and still contributes no money to their Upkeep.
Maybe he just wants to punish the "eloping wife" by putting a financial burden on her and he does not really need the money per-say......just speculating tho.

MarieSucre:


We are very good at twisting things?? WE are the ones twisting things?? Not all the sexist, misogynist, woman-haters that come on nairaland and insult women and call us hoes, and say that we deserve to be beaten if we as much as roll out eyes at a man, and say that women don't deserve political positions or Insult female celebrities who don't even do half of what their male counterparts do? Or call us fishy brained on every other post?

It is WE that are twisting things. Wehdone! Get your head out of the sand so you can see well okay.

I saw this and it made an interesting angle to our discussion here, about people TRYING TO GET WHAT THEY DONT DESERVE......based on their GENDER!

It was about the last JAMB Exams.



You see what we are saying?
These lazy, unintelligent and low-quality women who lack the ability, will-power and resilience to succeed, always look for a way out, using the God-given bodies and other SCAMS like Gender Equality Quota System.

Sound and intelligent Women who have achieved success based on their hardwork, must be in the forefront of checkmating this disgraceful members of their gender.

Benita27:
What has gender equality got to do with promiscuity?. For the fact that you think if a lady is wayward, sagged breast and wide vagina will be evident makes your write-up pathetic. Does a lady need to be wayward to have a sagged breast?. Are you also saying it's ok for a guy to mess himself up but if a lady does it's a crime?.

You mustn't create threads over anything you had the urge to. Some are senseless like this one.

Mindfulness:


What you are saying is that God made a mistake when he created the woman because the Almighty and All-Knowing did not know what he was doing when he created the world. He makes the planets spin in perfect proximity to each other, the sun rise and set every single freaking day but he did not know what he was doing when he created the woman. In other words, God was not very smart when he did that.

More nonsense!

Gamusgamus:

Genesis 6 : 6
God also regretted making Soul king over Israel,, mind you that God regretted doesn't mean he was not perfect, Man's imperfection was what grieved God, giving to how Eve lead Adam to the sin of disobedience , man was in total obedience to God until eve came

Mindfulness:

God made people imperfect but it wasn't his fault. Makes perfect sense.
I just made lunch, it is not perfect. It is my neighbor's fault.
