On the contrary, I haven't even opened my twitter app today, nor am I a feminist activist...I'm just a woman tired of seeing men disrespect women all the time.

So asking Nigerian men to respect women is so crazy and out of this world that I have to be tagged a feminist?? Wow. Just wow. You Nigerian men are truly special creatures.

Truvel:
Op, I Can Feel Ur Pains In Ur Post. Na D Pains Baba God Give Women, We Men Av Our Own Pains Too.

LadyTiannah2:


Okay. Asking men to respect women is trash apparently. People like you can never have happy homes. Good luck.

Activist001:

Take a chill pill. I've also asked this question before here (with my other account) and I discovered it's all cruise. No carry am for head.

I'm also a strong hater of hating a group of people based on their gender or race or anything at all. We're on the same boat in many aspects so I understand.

LadyTiannah2:

Which brings me to another question. Why do you feel it's any of your business how a woman chooses to live her life? What ever happened to human rights? If a woman decides to sell her body, how does it concern you? Do you guys carry this same energy with yahoo boys, ritualists and the likes? Because we do not need rocket science to know that most of the crimes perpetuated in the country are done by guys, yet most of you people's energy goes towards hating women who aren't even committing crimes. Its quite strange to be honest.

LadyTiannah2:

I know that, and I acknowledge the fact that the life of a man isn't easy; but is asking for respect really too much? Just look at half of the comments made by guys here. Its heartbreaking, the level of hatred for women

My dear calm down. chances are high you will still marry a Nigerian male..

You do have a father right or uncles? Can you say they behave or think like that..

Not every 9ja male thinks like an ignorant person, just like not every female believes all men are dogs..

Stop generalizing!

There are a lot of male medics that have witnessed child births, I doubt they can utter such, so most likely it's those who haven't come close to that experience that make such utterances..

So please relax, for every dim wit you see there's a high intellectual person some where else...

Also you might need to move around more and meet new people cos if this is frequent for you that means your environment isn't meant for you...

DMerciful:
Women and exaggerations. How come the same pain both men and women share like when taking injection, women behave as if they are using knives on them. If men were carrying pregnancy they would sulk it up!

After complaining, you'd still do it again.

LadyTiannah2:

It's not a matter of my environment, I see this male disrespect online everyday. I didn't generalize. I said most Nigerian men. Judging from their comments on this thread, I guess there's nothing that can be done about it

pocohantas:


Women actually take injections better than men. Ask any nurse around you.

If men were carrying pregnancies, humans would be almost extinct. There are pains men are designed for, pregnancy is not one. They can’t even watch the process, yet you convince yourself they can live it? They wouldn’t even do a godamn vasectomy, yet you think they will have a doctor slash their vaginas with a blade or tear their bikini line in the name of CS? God knows why he didn’t even give them the womb.

You people think everything is by muscle and brute force. That is why y’all go upandan, blowing up everywhere.

OP, please marry a man that has sense. I don’t know how many they are in Nigeria currently- but your chances of hooking one seems slim.

McSquishi:


The truth is subconsciously they know that if they appreciate and acknowledge a woman’s value and contributions to a family & to society they will then have to treat us as valuable as we are. By denying that a woman is valuable those men can continue to devalue us & degrade us.

ModestGal:

Lol, you don't know African men, most of them are dumb,selfish and irrational. Their pride is in shaming women especially this present day generation of men, its a waste of time discussing with them or making them reason things out.

They are not capable of matured discussion, they just want to shame woman,without thinking of their mothers and sisters at home

LadyTiannah2:

You saw the part where I said men should respect a woman, as long as she isn't showing him disrespect or causing him harm right? Of course you did.

LadyTiannah2:

My point is that men should respect women. If you want respect as a man, then show respect too.

...

Good that you said online and To be honest with you dear, most of the population demographics commenting on this site ranges from early teens to mid 20's.. These are still exuberant and not so experienced in a lot of life issues..

Take public comments here with a pinch of salt. These comments don't genuinely reflect the outside world plus most ppl because of this stressful nation we live in, use this medium to vent or lash out...

Also women equally bash men here with all kind of rhetorics .So is it not safe to conclude, the females are just as worse as their male counterparts?...

crackhaus:


This is just as silly as it is funny...

The single most important problem with a lot of you ladies is that you believe you're all that.
Now tell me why in God's name should a man respect all women just because they are women with vagínas and have the capacity for birth?

You/anyone has to be deserving of respect in order to be respected... you have to earn it! It is not based on just having a vagína you did not mould yourself, or birthing children no one forced you to.

If we were to even go by your logic; that just being a woman who goes through pregnancy/labour and combines that with taking care of the home-front, is enough to be respected, then the only two women in a man's life he owes respect to by default are his mother (the one who birthed him) and his wife (mother of his children).
Every other woman will have to earn his respect or at least be deserving of it instead of simply sitting down gesticulating and expecting it from strangers who know nothing about her.

I actually sympathize with you and the rest of your sisters who keep crying for this respect. It is not easy knowing that you now have to work extra hard to be valued despite having that vagína you were raised to believe that all men will die for.
This is the world we now live in, things have changed and the earlier y'all get used to the new modus operandi, the better.

I encourage you however to please take solace in the fact that one day you will be a wife and a mother.
Your husband (hopefully) and your sons (definitely) will respect, adore, and worship you. It is ONLY these group of males that owe you their respect and everything else you believe you deserve as a woman.
From the remaining men out there, expect absolutely nothing...

SirMichael1:
Sorry ehn. Don't be angry. Sorry.

LadyTiannah2:

Nope, females aren't as bad as the males here. If you notice, most of the threads here that criticize men are done in response to previous threads opened by guys to bash women. Women do not just wake up in the morning and decide to spew hate the way the guys here do on a daily basis...they only do so after they have been provoked.

pocohantas:


Total waste of time. Any of them quoting me is just wasting his time. I rather watch paint dry that have a conversation with 99% of them, let alone the slow and predictable ones on NL.

ModestGal:

Most of them are BROKE and DUMB. Ignoring them is best

LadyTiannah2:
Why is it that many Nigerian men are fond of trivializing the act of carrying a pregnancy to term and giving birth?? Like do you men think that thing is easy?? Carrying a baby for nine whole months, having your body change drastically --the weight gain, painful boobs which start to sag, frequent urination, cramps etc-- then pushing out the child, not to mention the depression some women feel afterwards. Has any of you ever bothered to watch a video of a woman in labour to see the agony she passes through?

Yet one entity with an appendage dangling between his legs will come online and show so much disrespect to women, they'll say things like "and so what, is she the first woman to have a child?", "there's nothing special there", as if its easy. She'll take care of the child, clean the house, cook, yet a man will make her feel inadequate and that she's not contributing to the home because she's not earning money. Let me tell you now, being a mom is a full time job and any woman who is able to combine raising a child, taking care of her home and adding a paid job to it is a goddamñ super hero in my book. Learn to respect women. As long as a woman isn't showing you disrespect or causing you harm. show her respect and stop being a fúcking asshóle. Period.

And before some of you start yarning dust, I'm not a mom or pregnant. Not even considering marriage yet, cos to be honest, the thought of marrying the present day Nigerian man scares the crap out of me
