1. We are not all christians. 2. Feminism doesn’t mean the woman must work. Respect all women and their choices. If she is a housewife, that is fine, provided her and her husband are in agreement. 3. There are things that would always be considered male and female. You haven’t stopped traveling to America to prove you are equal to the whites. Sorry to say, you and your kind are not making any sense. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Feminism, in its original intended form, is an assertion that there should not be discrimination based on gender: women should not be judged on their ability to work, earn, lead, etc. solely based on their gender. Though there are hotly debated and valid differences, I will equate feminism, womanism, and gender equality for the purpose of this discussion. Feminism is why we have politicians, voters, doctors, astronauts, presidents, CEOs, professors, etc. who are women. It's why women can legally inherit property, leave abusive marriages, and pursue personal happiness. To frame your acceptance of what I'm about to say: I would call myself a feminist, womanist, and a believer in gender equality; my mother was a founding member of Women in Nigeria back in early 80s so I was steeped in the history, reason, and difficulties of feminism in the Igbo, Nigerian, African, Western, and global contexts. I am a happily married man who appreciates and encourages his strong wife to attain all that she can. I don't feel threatened, and I respect her as a partner in decision making, though I confess I've had to put my foot down as a man on the rare occasion. As a woman, she appreciates and desires me to lead as her man with all the connotations it implies, but it doesn't mean she wants to be discriminated against, ignored, abused, or denied pursuit of happiness. I would say my understanding of feminism is more about mutual self-respect between interdependent partners who complement each other. Ironically, there has been a long history of gender eqality in Africa - to the point that most African women were far more independent and empowered in African societies in 1700s than their European counterparts. African women provided for their families (they farmed, taught, ran markets, protested, and were a visible voice in decision making in African societies long before American women could vote). Toks2008:If a man have have total independence without any inhibitions, why can't a woman? There have been many inhibitions placed on a woman simply because she is a woman, and objectively cannot be said to be fair. Feminism is a reaction to this. Toks2008:This of course conveniently avoids the fact that these books were written from a male point of view - I find even the concept of God being male quite odd since we're restricting an omnipresent being to needing to have a gender. It reflects more the limitations in the minds of people than the actual reality. The bible also suggests/supports a lot of things that we now consider archaic, so I wouldn't be quick to use it as a reference for what should be in today's society. But that aside, ever hear the expression: "the man may be the head, but the woman is the neck?" Can't do much without the neck and head both agreeing to turn. I view marriage in that light: it's a partnership where men too should participate in give-and-take. Toks2008:No argument here... this is just a classic case of eating your cake and having it. With anything and any movement, most people will take all the positives, and not want to take on the negatives: e.g. some women complain that men are no longer chivalrous because of equality, conveniently forgetting that chivalry was strong when women couldn't own property, vote, lead societies, and if you go back far enough in Western society, didn't even posses souls. Toks2008:However, we can't ignore basic biology that there are some things women can't (or were not trained to, or would rather not) do; conversely, there are some things men cannot do (or are not naturally disposed to doing). Well, the main thrust of feminism is that it gives both genders the same opportunities to choose what they want to do - in education, employment, having a voice in society. We should not ignore the inequalities that keep half the population oppressed because of a few idiosyncrasies. 8 Likes 1 Share |

There's nothing wrong with feminism as a social movement, especially when it propagates fairness for all. There's, however, a problem with crass, self-absorbing, and opportunistic women who identify with the movement, same as those who do not identify with it. Feminism or its male equivalent red pill isn't the problem, but the toxic individuals who identify with it and uses it to gloss their toxicity. Love is the greatest refreshment in life. 6 Likes |

Toks2008: Weak. You don’t just lift definitions because they sound lofty. Feminists are not egalitarian as evidenced by interactions. One broad example: demanding statutory representation on boards and in political offices is anything but egalitarian because it is essentially jumping the queue. Merit is thrown out the window. Another example: Sports. There have been agitations for the US female “soccer” team to enjoy equal pay with men however they don’t care that their games generate far less revenue. All they want is the same pay for less effort and less economic value. That is not egalitarian. That is unfair. That is overvalued nonsense. But that’s what feminists want. Interestingly they don’t fight for equal representation in construction sites as “labourers” and bricklayers. Or even the armed forces. They also do not care about the huge pay gap between male and female fashion models. How is that egalitarian? 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Both genders should advocate for feminism I.e everybody should be a feminist. I still want to be pampered though by whoever I’ll call husband. . Future husband would know he is not getting a traditional wife. Nairaland 2k men coming to my mention in 1, 2, 3 2 Likes |
