truthsayer009: I disagree, especially with your example. Women also do tedious jobs. I worked in a bank for years and we usually had mostly ladies in our bulk room and as tellers. The way they count money with expertise was very impressive. Even all the cash officers that worked there were ladies. The branch operations managers that worked in that branch while I was there were 4 ladies and 2 guys. Don't underestimate women. Out of 4 female branch ops managers, 3 were spectacular while one was nothing to write home about. If it's banks, gender doesn't count. From Account Officers to DSAs to tellers, everyone is expected meet their target without concession. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mrdharkchild: Funny. I've met a man that didn't want to learn chess because he said it is hard. And not just him. Some men can't even handle elementary A-level mathematics. What do we say to that? Can we conclude that men shouldn't be taken seriously? The way some men conclude on some stereotypes is amazing. Is it that you didn't go to school with girls that you think they can't play chess? Or that you feel they can't just because they are girls? Or that the few you met that have interests other than chess are the standard? Level the playing field, i.e. remove your stereotypes and unrealistic expectations, and see if females won't meet up if they aren't saddled with gender roles and stereotypes. Too many kids on this forum. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ImaIma1: Wow really, i can't remember seeing a woman inside Bulk room. Maybe once or twice but it has never been common for me. Anyway, it's only Zenith bulk room i have been to. I'm not underestimating women, i was referring to jobs that are physically tedious. Being brainy is not the same as doing tedious jobs. Branch Manager's work is brains, not necessarily physically tedious. It's more of mental work. |

truthsayer009: Former Diamond bank had mostly ladies in their bulk room in my branches. Branch Manager is not just mental. It's physical too. You have to visit customers around to try and seal deals. You go with your account officers and DSAs for storms (mass.marketing). Even the mental aspect is tasking. There are so many jobs that women take up these days and compete with their male counterparts. I have a friend that is into renting out and selling of generators. She's called the generator girl. She handles all those industrial gens so well. Women are not sitting back at all these days. 2 Likes 1 Share |

BRATISLAVA:Don't be surprised some of them might not be kids, they are just being dumb looking down on women I don't seems to believe all guys saying jargons on this forum about women are kids. Some are grown up guys whose sense of reasoning is woke They are best described as baby adult |

ImaIma1:well said Women are absolutely pushing lately. They ain't leaving any stone unturned. I'm always happy seeing them in all sectors putting their own quota |

truthsayer009: But you have to prove yourself first. So no free pass then. Diversity hire by definition means that the organization is made to hire QUALIFIED people of that group because traditionally they would not hire them even though they are very qualified. So it’s not a free pass either. It’s just a system to curb oppression. I’m not seeing only the negatives. Just the way it is 2 Likes |

As expected. Tell me what I’m seeing because my eyes don’t work.. At least I’m glad you recognize that you guys are prejudiced against women. Only problem is that you keep all the smoke for those you think are fighting prejudice but not the prejudiced themselves. Diet misogynist Tadeknkeepcalm: 1 Like |

cococandy:Strong independent woman Self-made So in the hospitals you've been to here in Nigeria, you've seen patients ask nurses to "get them coffee with ice" or are you mixing up the narrative here? Haba! You don't even know which lie to roll with. Whether it's the doctor-mistakened-for-nurse or ceo-mistakened-for-desk-receptionist. God! African feminists suffer from big time inferiority complex. Taking fake narratives from the western world and rubbing it all over as their own story. At least make Una dey try tailor the story to the Nigerian setting now. It will make it more believable |

VTJN: But it's only kids that could reason like that, because they lack life experience. Right? I refuse to believe that a man of 25 or 30 will engage in such thinking. At least a man that is well-balanced. These must be kids in their teens trying to appear cool by bashing the females. Or adult babies. 1 Like |

dingbang: I also find it worrisome that instead of her parents to fend for her, they are comfortable living off a child that has no visible source of income. Keep up the good work and I hope she utilizes the opportunity you have given her. |

The entire ideal is ...... women should jettison the orientation of dependence under disguise of no jobs. Until women can totally embrace the idealogy of what man can do a woman can do so, they will remain a slave indirectly. Seriously, many women would have become business owners if they could venture into some jobs they sees to be for men. With background knowledge in a particular field, it's easier to enter offices and convince directors to win contracts as a woman. This thread is not critics but a wake up call 1 Like 1 Share |
