I take a different view

Girls are less interested in politics not because they are any less intelligent but I think its because politics comes with intrigues, strategies, maneuvering and manipulation and these are characteristics girls generally are not into. They tend to follow their hearts and attach emotions in most of what they do and thats basically the difference.

sweetheart, if what you are saying is what i think you're saying, then for this particular minute, i love you

Seun:

Behind every corrupt politician, there is a more corrupt and apathetic, greedy and shallow-minded woman!

there is also a saying incase you forgot:

that behind every successful man, there is a woman , but i guess that dosen't count, abi??

I agree.  Men are more power hungry whereas women tend to be more emotional so a woman will either want to ruin something or fix it.  Its a ego trip for some guys to have such power it has nothing to do with them being superior.  Its to do with power and greed.

You will find many of my posts in the political section. But there are too many dumb guys on here who will tell you to go back to the romance section!

Its hilarious some of you guys believe you are superior because you discuss politics I hope you are proud that it is your sex that has run Nigeria into the gutter where it currently resides.

SO THEY tell you to go to the romance section and you too you would listen to them and carry all you have to offer away, it's so unfortunate that the world as a whole doesnt give many opportunities to women, but many women who have become as great as they are today didn't give into castigations and demoralizing comments, they pressed on to cut out an enviable niche in whatever field they chose, i'm not saying you should continue streaming posts into the politics section just to prove to some guys that you are intelligent ! far from it, you just have to be impervious to some people's opinions about you

Seun you just lost a hell of a lot of cool points for this stupid post.

Were you going to marry me if I didn't make that point? Oops, I didn't know. _{being sarcastic}

It doesn't count because we were talking about how many 'supposedly superior' men are corrupt politicians.

I agree. Men are more power hungry whereas women tend to be more emotional so a woman will either want to ruin something or fix. Its a ego trip for some guys to have such power it has nothing to do with them being superior. Its to do with power and greed.

What do you call a woman that allows such 'greedy' men to rule her in order to get their "love" and money?

If a girl tells a guy in the romance section to 'go back' to the political section, do you think he would obey?

Of course they are interested in politics.

Let me make something clear to you all. Females have as much thirst for politics as they want to. Not all of us are into fashion like that. If we go to romance section, we see a lot of girls there and if we go to sex section, don't even get me started on the number of guys there. For you people to now say that we prefer manicuring to politics is just so sexist. Not every girl is a desperate housewife-wannabe.

Female politicians will top Politics soon.Nigeria watch out.

For you people to now say that we prefer manicuring to politics is just so sexist. Not every girl is a desperate housewife-wannabe.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. My female friends are all exceptions, or we won't be friends.

lmao.Yeap yu right.

saying you checked some other threads and found out that i send my posts without being backed up by facts?, that statement in itself mirrors lack of facts on your own side

22 posts?, i have many other things to do, i realllly enjoy myself on this forum, alot, but i'm also a very busy person, on the other hand, i prefer reading than sending, in sync with the fact that there is more wisdom in listening than in talking, , i only send posts when i deem fit .speaking about my response to the thread you said you read, well, i didnt need to beat around the bush, i'm a very blunt person and i was just saying what i felt at the moment, without apology

God. Just because some fool tells me to go back top the romance section doesnt mean I do it. Im just stating the bigoted and foolish comments a few guys make when the see a girl talking politics.

it had nothing to do with beating about the bush, but the fact that the thread had gone to a higher level, the initial mood of the poster had changed due to certain circumstances, and if you had read the whole thread patiently, you'd have seen that your post was a minute or more too late


@ topic

sweetheart, who ever said we women were not good listeners as well??

the thing is that you generalized all of us without exceptions or human-realization to the fact that some do participate

i remember trying out the "current affair game"on this forum sometime back, and after some trials and getting most answers wrong, i decided to be more of a listener, afterall you did say there was wisdom in listening right??

well some women prefare to listen , at the same time you have to agree with me that there are some women making efforts on politics as well, so for you to just scoop all ladies/girls/women in the same spoon was knid of harsh and hurtful too

assuming things just like that does not cut the cake

i apologize for being rude, generalization?, i'm sorry too.

if you care less about technology and politics , what else could you possibly care more about, perharps, fashion, cookery , pleeeeeese spare me that crap, i'v e gone through many other girly post and what i've drawn from them is that most girls don't even like hanging out with their girl fellows, giving the cliched response that girls don't talk about serious things, so tell me, what could be more serious and intellectually challenging as technology and politics, HELLO ! are you even living how can you possibly care less about technology in this era , i'm afraid for you, the PC you are using -Technology, the Internet - Technology, your cellphone (if you have one) - Technology - your Tv - technology, the list is endless, if you care so less about technology perharps you might not even know the meaning of "PC"

you should just listen to yourself. you sound like a complete ignant jack-ass. you can only make such a stupid and retarded argument in the village you're living in. technology might be so "amusing" to you because the presiden't has just allowed light into your little hole. what have YOU contributed to the REAL world of technology??!!! you are such a narrow-minded bigot!! running your mouth bout "cookery" and "fashion". how many of the females on nairaland do you actually know in person? who the hell are you to judge a groups knowledge? so you think you are into intellectually challenging material because you have an impotent penis? GIVE ME A FXCKING BREAK!!!! do yourself and the rest of us a favor and get a damn job, maybe with aol, maybe they can use your oh-so-powerful knowledge in technology.

@all the other creatures on here with joysticks
you all sound like narrow-minded jack-asses. i guess you do believe a woman's place really is in the kitchen. stop being so stereotypical. this is the 21st century. and i feel so bad for the unlucky lady that will have to deal with dat from her "intelligent" husband.

she really is from d ghetto. Haba! y d names? u were making sense to me but it's rather pitiable a woman should be writing like this. make ur opinion count in a sane manner. Ghetto chick, you really need to get outta d ghetto. ahn ahn!

Mustay:

my opinion sounds pretty sane to me hun. now am insane for speaking my mind? i'm sure you'd prolly beat your wive for speaking up cus she might be going crazy huh?!!! and i guess it would be "less pitiable" if a man was writing like me huh? don't worry bout where i live, you don't know nuthin about that!! TRUST ME!!! 

Ghettochyk, stop wasting your time on the guys jare. Let their ancient minds continue thinking that we're still living in the 17th century.

Chai u harsh oh

Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar. He deserved it.

I like dt quote oh.Wateva jare.

@ghetto chick, ur posts?, well, it shows that you are really living up to the expectation of your name, GHETTO CHICK AKIN TO GHETTO THINKING = GHETTO MINDED POST !, YOU NEED REHABILITATION,

don't get mad at her for putting you in your place. Just accept it. Only ignorance would make you talk the way you did

what are the women doing? Plenty! it's just that they get distracted what with the wave of romance centred stickies on the nairaland front page!
Besides, many gals are frequent contributors on the sports and technology sections.
also, i believe the 'politics' section is overrated, it's become an avenue for people to argue and rant about issues, for people to show off their 'stratospheric' IQs. IMHO, 70% of the posts in the politics section aren't what i'd call intelligent!

Hmm dey wld rule

Guys are talking about girls not interested in politics, that it is mianly for them, cus of the way it's been played. This is total crap. it is a saddening situation that guys will think like that. Anyway, Iam not surprised, knowing all their tricks to see that women are never seen or heard when it comes politics. I and my friends discuss politics, and I tell you guys u'll be imprees when u hear us talk. Dont get thinking that its the latest fashion we discuss. I was watching news on a local tv sation, and there was this particular news that i was so interested in, it was all about some women politician, who came out to voice their objection to the way they were being treated by INEC (THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION). One of these women said that her name was removed from INECS list of contenders for the senate, that when she confronted INEC, they could not give her a cogent reason why her name was removed. Another said the State Chairman of her party, called her and said she should drop the ambition of going to the senate, that they will give her a better position in the state when they win (that is if they win o). These women were bitter, because of these treatments. Why would men want to push them out of what is free for all. Since they have the right and capability to contest for, they should contest.
The fact that I'm a woman, does not mean I should spend all my life in the kitchen, or that I should spend preciouse time discussing fashion. Men have a sterotypical idea of who women are, and how they should reason. this is wrong. Please guys know that we are as intelligent (in some cases 'more') as you are.

Please guys know that we are as intelligent (in some cases 'more') as you are.

Prove it. It's not what you say you are, but what you do, that determines who you are!

Here we have it again. This egotistic, dumb, annoying and out rightly irritating boys. 4play, why am I not surprised at your post?

Who says women do not comment in politics? Go and read all the threads on this forum. Note how many political threads women have started. Also note the number of posts from women. You guys mostly ignore the posts we make anyway.

Dump and irritating thread!

You don wake.Wld u run for presidency?LOL

Hey ghettochyk, don't sink to their level. No matter what, the guys are entitled to their narrow- minded opinions. Besides we all know that "what a woman can't do, can't be done."

What a Man can do a woman can do better.
