Hedonini: She has no idea of a man's struggles cos she isn't a man. she's a woman and would only talk of inequality as it affects women. No one is stopping men from voicing out their discomforts too.. 1 Like |

I love these parts. She said: “There is nothing a woman should be because she is a woman, and there is nothing a man should be because he is a manAll these stupid reasons and excuses of "because she is a woman, because he is a man" when we expect people to just follow rules blindly, need to end. “Women are not special, women are human, women are flawed just like men… If we keep saying women are special, then we judge them at a higher and unfair standardTrue. This can lead to them holding women to unnecessarily higher standards than they do men. Refusing to allow women live their lives in peace. And when you ask their reasons, they say, because he is a man, because she is a woman I wonder if men will still fight her on this thread just because she is a feminist, even if she is speaking favorably for men 4 Likes 2 Shares |

The problem is that feminist words and actions are diametrically opposite. Showing women your emotions is an attraction killer, you're appear weak in her eyes and the count down has begun for her to dump you for someone perceived stronger. I think men subconsciously knows this and makes them instinctively suppress their emotions or at least, not show it in the presence of women 3 Likes |

She should understand that this whole concept of men being higher than women is a western concept. In ancient Africa, God was a woman (Isis) and men and all revered her. Our ancestors were so intelligent that they made it that way because once men understood that God is a woman, it was a natural antidote to manage man's chauvinism, so that there was mutual respect for both gender. Western man would later declare God the father, thereby, destroying age long means of managing these issues she advocate for today. As far as I am concerned God remains a woman. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Magichand: Sorry, Chinamanda, I must beg to differ! There is a significant difference between men and women The difference is WOMEN GET PREGNANT AND GIVE BIRTH, MEN DON'T!! The woman unschooled on the full implications of this difference is very unlikely to be a great wife and mother. Meanwhile, women have an in-built desire to bear and protect their children. This has nothing to do with patriarchy, just as a female animal's desire to protect her young is instinctive and has nothing to do with patriarchy!! If this is not so, why do so many girls go ahead to be baby mamas even when it is clear the man in their life does not want to marry them? This your concept is why we have so many gender benders like Jenner today! 3 Likes |

Women are human. Agreed Women are not special. No, women are unarguably special. Men and women are the same. Not true. Men and women can only be the same in the sense that they are both human (all other facts point otherwise). So that one man is equal to one woman is a big fat lie. |
