missterious: If you could drop farming, why can't girls drop cooking? I stopped farming cos I am now an established ****** and it's more lucrative and I won't have time to do it when am married. In fact, my work is my 'farm'. It enables me grow investments/crops and provide nourishment and financial stability for my family. What's going to be my wife's excuse?

FrancisTony: Stop leaving in self denial. There are many stories of Nigerian women suffering in the hand of their husband. Is that happiness?
Family section women don't make up 1% of Nigerian women and you can't deny it. Actually you're the one who opined single lady are lonely and i'm telling you marriage doesn't determine happiness for all people.
You're the one who need love from female from your hateful posts towards female gender.
Sayanora! Do you know why your posts are so confusing at times? It's because there are so many holes in your argument, one doesn't even know which one to start from  I am very sure the many stories of women suffering at the hands of their husbands are the ones you read on nairaland. Thank God family section women don't make up 1% of the population so all those complaints u see on nairaland every other day don't count  There are many more stories of women living happily with thier husbands, ask your married nairaland feminists about thier marriages if you think it's not true. Everyday they keep confessing how awesome thier husbands are and since they make up less than 1% it is just the tip of the iceberg  Marriage is a lovely Union and can be quite joyous and filled with happiness. All you have to do is look out for the right person. Of course such happy couples won't complain. It's only the ones in trouble that come on nairaland to seek help and most of those stories are fabricated anyway for sensationalism and popularity. Kindly point out one of my posts towards the female gender that has been hateful  . That is, assuming you know the difference between disagreement and hate. You are the one who comes online day in and day out to shout how wicked and self centered men are and with the same breath vie for homosexuality/love between two men  |

missterious: Marriage is a beautiful thing. I would love to get married. It is possible to be rich & married & that is what I pray for. But if I had to choose, I would choose money. Being single is not a sin.
FYI, this "feminist crap" is the reason women can vote, the reason your daughter can go to school. Feminism is advocacy for social & economic equality of the sexes. @bolded,not true m'am. My grandfather never heard the word feminism and yet he sent all his 7daughters to school. And he wasn't the only one. Others in the village did so as well. It was his choice. He wasn't forced by feminism to do it. |

mya1: Absolutely! humans are free to make their choice. Your example though, all you need is to have a talk with these woman and you'd find out for a majority it isn't an independent choice, rather a bullocks of societal standard they feel they have to conform to. Now is that really a choice?
The education is not " don't do this" rather " Don't do simply because you belong to a gender "with the exception of defined biological roles of course.
Mind you, I said humans -so it applies to both gender.
Who says a man has to be the highest gross earner of the home? Why should a boyfriend be the one to be spending on his girlfriend ?
I'm a humanist - for the equality and good of humans. How did I miss this?  And how many of these women have you talked to? Pls don't take your sample from the headstrong teenage girls on this forum who thinks cooking is enslavement. I happen to be privileged to be exposed to a lot of couples by virtue of what I do and I assure you the average Nigerian woman has no qualms in carrying out her wifely duties like cooking and cleaning the house as long as the man also carries out his duty of providing and protecting the household. In fact I am dealing with a case right now in which a man has been cooking for himself for the past three weeks. Wifey is alarmed and upset as he has refused to iterate what the problem is. He simply said he is tired of her cooking and knew how to cook during his single days and wants to go back to it. It is an opportunity for Wifey to kick back and relax, he says. You'd think the wife would use this opportunity to watch telemundo right? Who cares, let him suffer in the kitchen right? Wrong! She is following him about and trying to learn from whatever mistakes she thinks she has made though the man insists there is nothing inherently wrong. Men want to marry women, not warriors. If you don't want to cook for your husband then find a man who won't mind cooking for the house. He might also feel there is no need to provide for the house and make you the woman the provider and protector instead. Whatever makes you happy. |

FrancisTony: Husband doesn't do that, either. There are many married women who are lonely as fvck. One don't need to be married to have kids who will be her companion and that's a huge inconsistency in her warped post.
Genevieve is unmarried and she's happier than many married women. Her daughter don't go around whining like many children with father and mother because her mum's money provide everything for her. She's a companion to her mother when she's needed. So, widows with kids are lonely?
You say? By the way, Missterious never said she hate being married and getting rich but opined when given an option to choose one. A husband doesn't keep you company at night or help you when you are down or write your eulogy when you die? FrancisTony, what kind of husband are u planning on becoming? If your idea of a husband is none of those things above then please remain single! It's like you have really been disappointed by a lot of men in your life. Well dear, the majority of men are good people. Ask ALL your married nairaland feminists and followers and likers. They will tell you how WONDERFUL all thier husbands are to them. None of them are as lonely as fvck, though I can tell you there are countless single elderly females that cry themselves to sleep every night yearning for that special someone to fill the void! Of course any woman can sh1t out a child but it takes a responsible mother who will want to give birth to a child in the most conducive and loving atmosphere possible, which is a stable and happy marriage union instead of the farce of single motherhood or the arrangement of adoption. Oh,and how do you know genevieve is happy? Do you live with her? Or are you basing your superficial assumptions on the many 'suffering and smiling' pictures she takes in public  Nobody said missterious said she hates marriage. Stop putting words in people's mouths. You know, I honestly think you need to fall in love, preferably with a woman(one who is not your mom or grandma) . A lot of things about you will change. TV01 has his work cut out for him in rehabilitating you. I pray you meet someone that will show you true love! Amen! |

Don't bother replying.
Hypocrite! Bwahahahhahahahahahahaha  I will reply this one, and there is nothing you can do about it! She explained her points very well, balanced and unbiased. Money doesn't solve everything. Money doesn't keep you company at night and money won't write your eulogy. A female can be feminine which is what she is naturally meant to be. She doesn't have to be feminist which is essentially a woman that is jealous of men and trying thier damndest to be like them. You support ladies that tow your agenda and expect me not to do same?

BUTCHCASSIDY: She is married but to what type of man. Thats the question.  . How many times have we heard the man speak out to know if he is really happy? A while ago chimamanda was talking about how she refused to take his surname in marriage. I will dig up the picture in a moment. The man's face in that pic was like "which kain wahala be dis" All they talk about is how she married a rich educated tolerant man. Yeah right! How many times has the man come out to say he supports what his wife is doing. He tried supporting her in one of her interviews and it looked sooooo watery  Tomorrow God forbid they divorce, these same cronies will come out and say it's the man's fault! For goodness sake she has been maintaining that same silly Ankara or gele hairstyle for 'centuries' now  Where is the variety? The guy must be chewing his tongue just to keep from running away from her or getting in a messy divorce! |

FrancisTony: I'm sure you didn't read that article.
If you did, you'll understand that her point is, why are men privileged to do so culturally, instead of who deserves it by achievement irregardless of the gender. She read the article else she wouldn't have known about the kola nuts. The issue here ma'am, is that there are more important things to discuss than say breaking of kola nuts or not cooking in the house because you feel as a woman society wants you to, or sitting as a woman with your legs spread apart because you feel society has discriminated against you by making you close your legs like a proper lady. |

Yousafzai Malala is a good example of what I am driving at or talking about. . Society also puts men in corners. You have to do certain things to be seen as a man if not the person is regarded as a failure. I don't know why women like the victim mentality so much.

repogirl: and when you are sick and need comfort, I guess your money will comfort you.
When you are lonely and your body is in need of some you know what, I guess your money will do that for you.
When you need advice or to have interesting conversations with someone, guess your money will do that for you.
When you feel the need to procreate and have cute little descendants of yours and then bring them up in the right way, I guess your money will do that for you.
When you need someone to boost your ego or morale when you're feeling unsure bout yourself, I guess your money will do that for you.
Lastly when you leave this world, who will miss you dearly, speak touching eulogies about you and keep your memory dear to their hearts. I guess your money will do that for you.
Our most important treasures in this world is our time, what we do with it and then our relationships. Everyone should aspire toward wealth and prosperity, but should not lose sight of what is really important. Because the really important things make life worth living.
Now on to the topic;
Well, I don't know Chimamanda's upbringing was but I was never brought me up to see myself as a lower being to give respect when it is needed but definitely not to be walked all over.
Nobody can put you in a place you don't want to be, sometimes as a woman, you deal with some men that have warped thinking, agreed but doesn't mean the world has put you in a corner.
Times are changing, for centuries, women have been homemakers mostly instead of career women but that was what was needed at the time. Now the economy has changed and like it or not, women have to also contribute their quota to their upkeep and family finances. I believe, like it or not, we are a constantly evolving race and with time, these things will change naturally.
All this you must not let people put you here or there is just not worth it to me, some people are malleable naturally and they will be that way whether you preach feminsm to them throughout eternity.
Women should not shenk important responsibilities because of this feminism crap. You can be an awesome career woman, awesome wife and an awesome mother all at once. Solid Gold! Thank you repo girl. |

As long as you're a rich, educated woman living in a first world country, you're more privileged than most people so you should be the last person whining about 'oppression'. So what if someone said something rude to you? So that's the definition of 'oppressed'?
No one is holding you back, no 'glass-ceiling', no 'wage-gap' whatever. We women are even lucky that we can use our looks or sex to get by. So stop the whining, please. 1000likes! |

aderonila18:
The point of feminism is equality including equality in choice. Any woman who wants to go bare chested should be able to same as men and any woman who chooses not to should also have the same right like men who chose not to.
The poster above is choosing to excercise her right to not expose her nipples because she doesn't feel like it  Bwahahahhahahahahahahaha! I laughed at the bolded! So now feminists support equality in choice? Do you support it when women choose to be submissive to thier husbands? Do feminists support when a woman chooses to cook the meals or wash the plates or give her whole salary to her husband? Or do you make the woman feel like a fool for making such choices? Feminists and equality of choice. Haha! |
