Gbam !
People need to understand what true feminism is
Here is my letter to so called feminists :

Ladies and Women, please be guided.
Feminism isn't a battle against men.
It isn't about labelling one gender good/evil or mediocre/superior

Personally, I am a feminist, yup ! and I am a guy !
Feminism doesn't mean you shouldn't carry out certain roles and duties, which you should.

It shouldn't make you rude and uncultured all in the name of being "strong"


Back to the issue of roles, God has made you the female folks-mothers, and there is nothing we can do about it, he gave you breasts, a womb and a passage for babies for a REASON.So, because of all these, a natural responsibilty has been placed on you as a home maker .Roles ! Duties !

Don't let your fight for equality get in the way of your duty.You have to understand that you can't get equality in everything.You have to also understand that there are so many ways you as women are even more superior than men.For example, pain threshold, did you know that women can withstand more pain than men ?, there are so many physical,emotional and pshycological facts I can pull out.

Feminism means, a man should not be given a upper hand in a job/work place etc, because he is a man !, if he is selected, it should be because he is qualified/capable

Heck ! feminism also means you as a woman should'nt be given preference because you are loaded with gigantic mulele in front of you and behind you !.Yes I am a feminist and I would feel cheated as a guy if you are chosen over me because of that, if I am more qualified than you are !.This is true feminism

Moving on, feminism also means when we go out for dinner, I don't have to pay all the time , because "I am a man", you should pay sometimes too !.I should only have to pay ALL THE TIME, if you don't have money, or I choose to, or you don't have a job.Heck !, why don't you have a job !, why don't you have a skill ! !, you are a feminist remember !.Do something with your hands and don't be a liabilty, being a liabilty only makes you an hypocrite and you are not practicing true feminism .!

Having said that, marriage is a little different, men o men !!, your wives are are human beings too, help them out with the kids when they are tired, they are bone and flesh too and they get tired !.Help her cook sometimes.But don't over do it, else you might be turned into a footstool.Respect her and appreciate her efforts, even if its her duty !.She is an helper, not a slave !.You didn't buy her, you married her ! and she married you !.Hence you are partners !

Buy gifts occasionally , celebrate her, make her feel on top of the world , even if its her duty !.

Women, respect your husbands, commend him as well, help him out when he is broke even if "he is the man of the house, and its his responsbility", even if he isn't broke, attempt to shoulder some financial responsibilities sometimes.You are partners !.Appreciate him.Don't just f**king brag about it like most of you do, when you help out financially.

Remember, wisdom is the principal thing, knowledge is light, and love is life.Combine these well and you would be happy

My friend, say what you can comfortably defend. If you have anyone who does field work for NGOs in Nigeria, especially middle belt and up north, give them a call and ask wosup.
FGM is still much around in Nigeria, and I am saying this because my job brings me into contact with this practice on a regular.
A lot of work needs to be done, don't believe what you see or read from govt statistics, they say those things for political gain. Its the same way they claim there is no cholera outbreak in their states where we have many dying daily from cholera as we speak.

Members of my family? Because you are privilege to write an opinion? Look here low life... what my family has achieved... in fact what I have achieved is enough to feed your 10th generations okay... get it right gutter!

By the way loser! I don't live for personal achievement... I derived satisfaction in making my environment better.

How can you know anything about a country you've never been to? If we check now, she's never been to Nigeria.

You are too ignorant for me to waste an extra KB on.

Chimamanda is a stupid fool

A US political commentator, Dana Loesch, has frowned at Chimamanda Adichie’s position on chivalry.

Loesch on Thursday suggested that Adichie, who has been vocal about feminism, “should return to her own country and worry about genital mutilation” instead of calling out sexism in Western culture.

During a Fox TV show, Loesch was asked about Adichie’s appearance on The Daily Show, where she explained the downside of chivalry.

“I think gestures like holding the door shouldn’t be gender-based,” Adichie had said.

“I’m quite happy for people to hold the door for me. But I hope they’re not doing it because of this sort of idea of chivalry. Because chivalry is really about the idea that women are somehow weak and need protecting. But we know that really, there are many women who are stronger than many men.”

However, Loesch, who is also the National Rifle Association (NRA) spokesperson, suggested that Adichie did not understand chivalry but should instead focus on “weightier matters” like female genital mutilation which is prevalent in Nigeria.

“I don’t think she understands quite the concept of chivalry, which was a code of conduct for gentleman,” Loesch said.

“With all due respect to Adichie — and I’m familiar with her — I think it’s a luxury of third-way feminism to complain about holding doors open for people where her country, Nigeria, it ranks top in the world for female genital mutilation, which I think if far more of a disservice to women and far more suppressive than someone courteously opening the door for someone else.”

CSTR1003:

Yes, focus on your village needs and leave the rest of the world to focus on global need.

How dare a black African have a say on what constitute a global trend?
Black Africans have no right to shape global history since their villages have no borehole.

Clap for yourself.

udemzyudex:


Lol.
You don't have to reside in a country before you know a lot about it, the word is a global village thanks to internet.

You can sit at the comfort of your room and read about what's currently going on in a particular country.

I'm sure you watch CNN and other news stations on your dstv or gotv

Benita27:
Female genital mutilation isn't prevalent in Nigeria. In fact, it's at a low ebb. She spoke with so much ignorance of how she sees Nigeria.

Chimamanda has got her permanent resident status in America so she'll keep reading/hearing more of Chimamanda's views and there isn't much she can do.

Gaddafithe2nd:

They say charity begins at home. Chimamanda should start from her village. Many Igbo women that are widows are being maltreated. Women can't inherit their father and husband's property. Not talking about issues that doesn't hold water. Once she can do those things I listed, they will take her serious.

midolian:
People don't know all Chimamanda tried to do with her last controversial comment was damage control. She knew how much damage she caused her reputation with the Hilary interview

spiritedtete:


Ignorant... you say? Why don't you try and be rational with your foresightedness.. I think it will help you a lot.

Ziggylady:



Well i hope you have 'made your environment better' since you have achieved more than ten Chimamandas put together ...not just ranting in rage on faceless forums against her.

spiritedtete:


Hey! I am not querying her personal achievement... she work hard earn that.

But really what has she achieved on the society ?
I don't have to brag about my course it is talking for itself... this is not about personal gain... it is so so selfless service.

For me I think until Chima start a personal course where it is needed.. then people like us will begin to see her like a champion. For now let her talk less it's getting boring.

TalkTalkTwins:
Before you start hating on Chimaamanda, you have to hate on yourself first. Must you side the woman because she attacked CNA?
Okay, check this out...

- She said that female genital mutilation is predominant in Nigeria, how many people still practice that today? How did she confirm it?
- Must it be Adichie that will attack the female genital mutilation? Can't you do that or is your only life on NL? When will you get small sense to know that someone else is speaking her opinion and you are entitled to yours?

Seriously the hate is getting out of hand and she is going higher. The more you hate, the more she meets presidents!

From a loyal fan...

CSTR1003:

My friend, shut up.

I just dey look you with one eye.

I no wan embarass you for another person matter.
