WHOEVER WROTE THIS
SHOULD BE GIVEN AN
AWARD!!!

I AM A WOMAN!!!

So what?
I get into an argument
with a man, he slaps me,
I feel the pain, yet they
tell me I provoked him. I
should have been quiet, I
should have been patient.
I should apologize to him.

I get into an argument
with a man, I slap him,
they tell me I have no
respect, no home
training. I should have
been quiet, I should have
been patient. I should
apologize to him.
Because I am a woman, I
don't have a right to be
angry. So, the degree of
my innocence is directly
proportional to the
degree of my silence in
the face of oppression
and brutality.....

Because I am a woman,
my husband cheats on
me, I am told to tolerate it
to save my marriage. The
barbaric and stupid
excuse is that ''it is in
their nature to cheat, I
should slim down, dress
better, cook better, pray
harder and be more
pleasant to him"

I cheat, and I am called a
LovePeddler, I have committed
an abomination, I have no
right to look elsewhere
for the love and
emotional support I lack
at home, I am an
irresponsible mother.

So I am sent packing,
from the home we both
built, with all my earthly
possessions stuffed into
a tiny box on my head. I
am henceforth forbidden
from seeing my two older
children, I'm lucky to be
allowed to go with my
little one still suckling on
my left breast. Three
years later, the little one
is tagged a bastard. Now,
my new name is "after-
three", because I am a
woman.

He is 28 and runs a
company. He's tagged
wonderful, hardworking,
focused, career oriented,
successful at a very
young age.

I am 28 and I run a
company "Hmmmm....
she is not even married,
unserious, can not order
her priorities right, a
hustler, loves money, let
her go and get a husband
oh"
And I wonder if being
successful has anything
to do with a person's
gender.

Because I am a woman,
I am not allowed to have
wits or be a prodigy, I
cannot be financially
buoyant, professionally
successful or be treated
with respect without a
man beside me.

Then I am tagged a
generous leg opener, "a
runs girl". They never see
the possibility that I
actually had to go
through ups and downs
to get to where I am,
because I am a woman.

A man looses his wife to
death and remarries a
year after, he did the right
thing, he's being praised
and congratulated for
moving on, after all life is
for the living.

A woman looses her
husband to death and
remarries after 4yrs,
"aaah! so early? Are u
sure she wasn't sleeping
with that man even when
her husband was alive?
That was why she killed
her husband. She's a
witch! Because she's a
woman.

Because I am a woman,
this post will be
considered controversial,
and everyone will try to
correct me. But don't
forget, that I am a woman
and it does not make me
less human!!!

Share to respect some
woman and Tell your
woman that you love
her
: *Who is a
woman??*
When she is quiet,
millions of things are
running through her
mind. When she stares at
you, she is wondering
why she loves you so
much in spite of being
taken for granted. When
she says I will stand by
you, she will stand by you
like a solid rock. Never
hurt her or take her for
granted. A very heart
touching message by a
woman. Someone asked
her, Are you a working
woman or a housewife?
She replied: Yes, I am a
full-time working
housewife. I work 24
hours a day. I'm a Mum.
I'm a Wife. I'm a
Daughter. I'm a Daughter-
in-law. I'm an Alarm
clock. I'm a Cook. I'm a
Maid. I'm a Teacher. I'm a
Waitress. I'm a Nanny.
I'm a Nurse. I'm a
Handywoman. I'm a
Security officer. I'm a
Counsellor. I'm a
Comforter. I don't get
holidays. I don't get sick
leave. I don't get day off. I
work through day and
night. I'm on call all hours
and get paid with a
sentence. "What Do U Do
All Day??" This Is
Dedicated to all
women*** A Woman has
the most unique
character like salt! Her
presence is never
remembered, but her
absence makes all the
things tasteless. Pass it
to all the lovely ladies...Ur
Mother. Ur Wife. Ur
daughter. Ur sister & Ur
friend.
Forward to every woman
to make her smile and to
every man to make him
realize a woman's worth.

Nice!

Amazing piece of poetry.. Am really impressed, just the true reality of being a woman but am sure we would always come out strong and these things would change and we women potrayed in positive light because we deserve it

Hmmm, wow
Nice

I guess you got tired of typing. The truth is, Nairaland would crash if we should attempt to pen down the sad fate of an African woman.

As a lady, you are naturally wrong.

Your only aspiration in life is to be a good wife.

By just having a pic online, you're a slay queen.

Your dressing is policed, the way you dance, cook, walk, talk, laugh, etc., everything you do is under intense scrutiny.

When a man is about to leave Nigeria, he's asked to learn a skill. When a lady is about to leave Nigeria, she's asked to learn how to respect the man abroad.

A man sees a girls pic and says "I want to fvck this girl", he is called a guy man! You, a lady, see a guy's picture and say "he's cute". You're called "ashawo".

The man has kids with four women, he's my guy. The baby mamas who have stuck to only him are the hoes.

You refuse to sleep with him, then you're probably giving it to others. You give it to him, you're an ashawo.

News of men committing crimes like fraud, rape, murder, cheating, etc. litter the front page everyday and we blame humanity. Then we read one about a lady and say "fear women!"

We are upset when SAS men profile us just because of our hairstyle or dressing; not everyone on dreads is a yahoo boy! But we take one look at the lady and decide how many men she's slept with just by her dressing.

The man is praised when he sleeps around. Then we gather to ask why girls of nowadays can't be virgins.

The boy child is given the laissez-faire to pursue his dreams but the girl child must not have too much or she'll not get a man.

Yet, it is the men who create threads morning, afternoon and night to call you out for things they themselves do on a daily.

This is one of those threads where I don't respond to quotes. See this as a soliloquy and not a conversation.

The world we live in

No truer words have been said about the trashy way the female gender is being treated in today's Nigerian society as verbosely reflected on this forum!

Regardless of this though, a lot of females are still high fliers and breaking new grounds in their respective chosen fields!

We just need to do more in raising our kids both males and females not to look down on any gender, hate or discriminate against any gender seeing as no one actually had a choice in choosing or deciding what their gender would be in-utero.

Rather, they should be brought up to explore equal opportunities and carry out tasks in a balanced manner, so that the larger society can be a better place.

I wish all the concerned gender can go through this poem, but pitifully, they are wasting away on Insta, Tik-Tok & Facebook twerking & flicking tongues so guys can know that they are very good at giving BJ.

Bunch of fallacies....

As for me, school don resume. My energy will be channeled elsewhere.

All these doesn't dispute the fact that women these days still enjoy more privileges than men in the Society
