Why Is Gender Equality Not Respected In Marriage? by Gee64: 5:39pm On Apr 22, 2022
I observed that the woman for whatever reasons always play the underdog in marriage. She is often regarded as a 'helper' playing almost a docile role in decision-making in the home.

Most people use religious precepts to relegate the rights of a woman to the background: as being the house-keeper and 'child-bearer'. But in modern times, many women play the role of 'provider' in the home, therefore forcing the man to also assist with household chores.

In modern times, Even in civilised climes, women now seek to either being independent parents or share same authority as the man in the home. But where the man does not feel comfortably with this, the result is divorce. I want to assume that this is the major cause of domestic violence in majority of homes.

Most women feel more comfortable being single parents than to submit to the egocentric excesses of the male folk.

What is your stand on this issue. I personally speak as a male.

Women Basically want 3 things
1. the Power and Authority of a man
2. The Privileges of Being a Woman
3. The Accountability of A child.

I pity those ignorant, naive men who are fighting for Equality for women. Those idiots don't realize that they are being cheated,the woman you are fighting for,is trying to overthrow your power. She will expect you to man up and fight for her,or Provide when times are hard. But when times are good,they will drag equality with you. Take the Russian/Ukraine war as a case study. The women are allowed to leave,but the men are mandated to stay. Not a single feminist came out to say women were being Relegated (because they are weak,which is true).
You know why? It is because times are hard,it is war,so they don't have the luxury to be fighting for equality now.

I always say that marriage is not for everyone. If a woman feels too big to be under a man, she is free to become a single mom.

After all, men and women have equal opportunities nowadays. There can never be two captains in one ship.

OP, you are free to make your wife the head of your home - just don't shove it down our throats. One of the best things that life gave us was freewill.

That a woman shares in decision-making doesn't make her the boss. Marriage is not an organisation. It is a union where both parties should be equal shareholders. Marriage is the only human institution where you have two heads giving moral instructions to their offspring and managing the affairs of the family on equal terms. That way, a harmonious relationship will be established.

1. I am afraid not. Domestic violence predates this modern times in marriage. As a matter of fact, a good number of women chose to develop themselves, eventually going it alone, rather than ending up someone's punching bag in the name of marriage. undecided

2. Yep! undecided

Because gender equality doesn't exist in Nigeria dating scene which usually lead to marriage

During dating the man do most of the spending, during marriage ceremony the man do most things and even pay purchasing fee bride price to buy/acquire have the woman

Most Nigeria marriage is not a merger of man and woman rather it's the man acquiring the woman

Since stakes ain't equal rights can't be equal

No matter how Africans tries to copy western degenerate culture, Africa will never be western!

Here in Africa A MAN AND A WOMAN CAN NEVER BE EQUAL!

One drunken man is more intelligent than three women with PHD!

A wife will forever be under the husband

A girlfriend will always be a bitch to her guy

Don't ever bring this nonsense gender equility cum feminism here, take it to quora and reddit where the western pigs massage their ego.
