pocohantas: I was thinking of you cos I have a crush on you. Anyway, about the topic. You do know all men/boy are not the same, right? Some are naturally very emotional. But it is clear women prefer the macho types. When the emotional guys consciously or unconsciously realize this, they do everything in their power to act tough and strong, so they can get the girls, and also live up to the image the society has for all MEN. That's all I am saying. |

Women are weaker emotionally and it will always remain so till the end of time. It's the reason why they need me to support them. Suicide is more of a spiritual problem. No mortal has the right to forfeit his own life. At times, suicide is caused by a guilt complex not dealt with. In other instances, when dignity is lost. In Japan most notably. And to a lesser extent, in the Yoruba culture. |

kay29000: I would never have guessed that . Very Emotional people face challenges, irrespective of their gender. Being emotional doesn't make any man weak, it only shows his empathetic side is still alive and he isn't scared of showing it. I have no problem with that, so far he isn't a push-over. 2 Likes |

Chimamanda is a Nairalander. I repeat, she is a Nairalander!!! Why is this coincidentally coming after the thread where guys that were molested when young were told to share their experiences was created? She used lots of words from comments on that thread. Funny enough, it's not even her stance that we know her for. More like as if she read thru comments and saw chippets of good reasonable thoughts and ideas to now convince her to fill up her blank part in her skull. SMH and very laughable!!!! Pls I advice she keeps reading more so she can get more convinced enough to bury the cannon she thinks is wrecking havoc but is just shooting loud. I repeat. she is a nairalander. Simple!!! 1 Like |

FluidQueen: You lack comprehension skills... or perhaps, you haven't read anything about feminism. elucidate yourself on the matter and make a rational argument on the matter. I have read extensively on this stupid philosophy and having lived in the west were this philosophy originated and is infecting young minds. I can tell you, it is the dumbest philosophy that polarizes society sowing unnecessary hatred, breeds misandry and encourages fascism. First they say men and women are the same, next they say that gender is a social construct and slowly you go into a rabbit hole of increasing stupidity. Please, don't quote me unless you have a rational argument. Do your own research, don't follow blindly. |

speedyGonzales:it's one thing to read on a theory, A movement. It's another thing to comprehend, familiarize oneself with the realization of these theories. You, my friend are busy throwing tantrums, exposing your ignorance of the subject and Basically, just yarning DUST. Read on feminism. If you still can't grasp it mentally, get a toddler to break it down for you. 3 Likes |

FluidQueen: Well, predictably you are one of the dumb feminist getting brainwashed by this nonsense, you a member of the herd, you cannot think independently. It is a cancer and you have been infected. I have read it, I have analysed it and compared it with facts and it doesn't hold up to scrutiny, and as a rational minded person, I discard as the nonsense it is. Do not reproduce, find the nearest transformer and hug it very tight. Good day. |

What she says makes sense in theory but fails in reality. If she raises her son with the mentality that there's no problem crying, I'm afraid he may end up as a blue-pilled cucks. <extract source="reddit"> Men being emotionally expressive only brings them more harm than good. Most men have heard this before “It’s okay for men to be emotional” but the question is, is it really? Based on my own experience as well as the experiences of other men, being emotionally expressive only results in us being disrespected and laughed at by both men and women and it also gives people the impression that you are weak and can be easily be pushed around. Even in relationships and marriages, a man showing his emotions to a woman will only have him viewed as being weak and incompetent to the woman’s eyes which will impact the relationship significantly. Now, I’m not saying that men shouldn’t have emotions. We are human and we are bound to have them from time to time and just because you have emotions or are feeling emotional, it doesn’t mean you are weak. But I think it will serve men better if they just keep those emotions to themselves. If you need to cry, do it in your own private time where people can’t see you. Feeling sad or depressed? Workout, play a video game, listen to music, draw, or do whatever you need to do to take your mind off things. I think it will help men greatly if we learn to master the art of stoicism and practice it in our daily lives. It’s an unfortunate reality that men can’t afford to express themselves emotionally due to how society views emotional men but you must ask yourself: Do you want people to see you as someone to be pitied and incompetent or someone who is strong and reliable? </extract>
