So what if she is single and 40?

Another fallacy we encounter in this clime. If a woman is of certain age and not married, she must certainly have a problem, a feminist.

So in a world where population of women doubles that of men, and not everybody practices polygamy. Does it not follow that there will be many unmarried women? undecided

Does being married prove a woman to be virtuous? Definely need to have a rethink.

@bold, I am not them and my mom is not a submissive type and my parents are still together. My dad is not a control freak.
I never claimed to be a christian neither did I bring religion in my post.
How many times have you told your fellow men to love their wives to the extent of dying for their wives you are only comfortable telling women.Maybe if men took apostle paul's instruction they would be better husbands.
The definition of submission cannot be literally applied in today's world because during the time apostle paul instructed women to be submissive slavery was permissible women had little or no rights so it was okay to easily submit but today women have rights are educated, have choices etc so it would definitely be hard to submit in the literal sense.

That's if only they would change. Or when they stop asking money for exchange of their body and work for their own money, we the men would stop.

If you count the green and red beings. Mars inclusive.

Thats what you folks say all the time. I'm perching on that premise. Come to think of it, it appears so. Some countries women do outnumber men. Put marriageable age in the equation. The close ratio would come from countries specifically practicing selective births or female gender infanticide, India for instance.

I totally agree with you. A lot of Nigerian men embrace a very toxic form of masculinity. The more misogynist a society is, the more you see this toxic masculinity ish.

The Nigerian society for example puts a lot of pressure on men. Their worth is usually defined by material things like their salary and not their character.
We all know how fickle material things are and truth is majority of men will always belong to either the middle or the lower class.

Since a lot of men also do not know how to communicate properly because it is interpreted as showing weakness, they tend to bundle up all their emotions.
The inability of not being able to handle your emotions and talk about how you feel means you having to eventually let it out in other ways.

This is usually done by hiding their vulnerability as well as insecurities behind anger.

A broke man, who knows society approves of men with big pockets is more likely to complain about gold diggers, even though he doesn't even really have the gold.

It's a man whose worth and respect is tied to his pocket that will feel insecure when he meets an independent lady. He'd rather go for a woman who depends on him financially, so he can complain with his pals about how women are useless and bring nothing to the table.

He's more likely to never date a woman who has more money that him. His excuse? "They can't handle succes".

Wow! This is deep. You spoke from a pyschological angle. Keep it up!

Very interesting post. Good job OP. At the end of the day, all I see in both genders in this part of the world is a cycle of insecurities. Our women being so weak, insecure and unenlightened that they can't impact leadership on their sons. Their sons growing up to become nightmares. The truth is that women, more than men gatekeep and enable misogyny and patriarchy in our society.

They have abandoned their roles of nurturing leadership and teaching their sons to be good leaders.
And for those quoting medieval philosophical books to burtress your points. It is a shame you have chosen to have a backward and retrogressive thinking. Adieus!

Stop submitting to men!

Many of them are dull. They can't even control their own lives.

And you are an adult who can make decisions for herself.

Stop feeding their over bloated egos.

No body should tell me about what your Bible or Qoran says because I don't care.
I don't know what you understand by the word submission. Submission doesn't mean a woman should be treated like a slave and not have a voice at all. When you have a group of people united for a common cause it is always necessary to have a leader that will spearhead their collective goal and provide a unified direction. Without a leader there is going to be chaos and disunity. Now imagine in a family where the wife wants something done her way and the husband wants it done his way. This situation will cause disunity in the family and they will never get things done together. Due to this issue there has to be leadership in the family. It's either the woman becomes the leader or the man becomes the leader, but not both at the same time. By default the position of leadership falls on the man and I believe many women wouldn't like it if they are controlling their men. I believe women like men who can be in charge.

Whenever couples argue about something they must have to settle it for the sake of family unity, and this can be achieved when one person decides to do it the way of the other person. Since family leadership falls on the man by default it means the woman will have to do it the man's way most times to uphold that unity. This is what submission is all about. If you get married with the mindset that you will never submit to a man as the leader of the family then your marriage will be in serious trouble because their will be no unity. It's going to be a power contest always.

if men have been your problem, you may still find a better one. The moment God becomes your problem, am afraid you will never find a solution....

So no need playing the victims. Women made themselves commodities. They aren't treated as such but they made themselves so.



At any rate, I won't support the slut shaming of women as seen in this forum. I also understand why men do it. It's survival instinct. Only a few would understand.

What is the low esteem there?you just sounded like a total feminist and like a woman that will never be submissive to any man,knowing your grandmother and mother did same to their husbands..as christians,we all know that the bible also talked about women been submissive to husbands.i don't know the point you are trying to prove..stop discouraging other women out there.most men are what you women made of them...it's you that really need to be reoroentations on how to respect and be submissive to men.
. The young men that go about insulting themselves on nairaland are not my husband. Does the Bible command submission to men or to one's husband? The the Bible ask men to love women or love their wife. I say this because one insulted me yesterday, someone I know that I fit born his mate. He felt he can insult me because he saw female in my profile. He doesn't know I'm his mama. Let stop misquoting the Bible because on judgement day ,we will be held accountable for every word.
