Women will participate more in politics if there is a safe space for them to do so.
but the truth is that men DO NOT want women involved in d first place and do their best to keep females out. Women also know that they are not wanted in politics.

If not for UN gender equality mandates, do you even think there will be as many female politicians in Nigeria at all?
I don't think so.

in my opinion though, women do discuss politics among themselves. at least the parts of politics that have meaning and relevance to their lives. although they do not make it into a hobby like some men do. We have more relevant things to do with our time.


I'm speaking for naija because the reality is different for places like the US where there is pretty decent female participation. esp when many of the debate topics have relevance to females ex abortion being the most obvious example.
in naija on the other hand it won't even be a question before a legislator places a ban on females "wearing skirts"  (not that any woman in her right mind will obey such) That's messed up. The whole country might as well be a sharia state.

jmaine:

Part of the outrage that sends them ladies away    . . .Most are too cool to return fire for fire . . .they did rather stay off than endure direct attacks . . . Please be soft on ladies  

Desola:

Why Do Ladies Shy Away From Politics & Political Discussions?

I noticed very few females actually participate in political discussions. We can count those of them who are active in this section on our fingertips. Why?

- Is it for lack of interest or should their interest be more on looking after their kitchen, kids and family?
- Are they afraid of taking up men in political debates?
- How are we going to have many women taking up political/leadership positions if many of them shy away from politics and political discussions?
- Or is it just enough that they be given a percentage of political appointments?
- And how can we encourage many females to participate in politics/political discussion?

Let's discuss this.

Desola:

yelz.

Wonderful  . . . . i berra stay out of harms way cos when two ladies dey quanta . .  . .no be small thingy oo! . . .Meanwhile, Thanks for the update Madam Desola or better still Dessy   . . . .

large percentage of women don't have interests in politics especially nigerian politics.
they are more comfortable with romance/relationships + food + fashion.
let the men handle the politics. bring home the bacon and the women convert it to food.

Desola:

Na Oa4mj call women into this forum o. . .now im no go finish the tin wen im start.

I just fear women and cat fights. I can't do it.

OAM4J:

In politics nobody gives anybody space to talk or to contest election be it a woman or a man, its everyone's right. You have to speak loud and clear if you have something better to offer.

As long as there is no law that forbids women to participate in politics, then women have to stand up and fight for their space.

Politics is by number and there are usually more women than men. You don't need anyone (any man) to give you your God given right to speak and participate in politics.

Exactly, it is all about how the place is moderated.
There is rampant ethnic bigotry, in fact it is encouraged. The mods are biased, in fact I believe some of the main offenders are mods logged in with different id's.
Crazy things happen here. I remember getting a 5 day ban for linking to a picture of politicians that is on at least 10 threads and was uploaded by someone else; how does anyone think women would be attracted to such a dog eat dog place where IQ drops daily?

. . .But sis, you for no yab me na.

It is this kind of "feral alimah" that should be killed in this political section I swear! God give me strenght today!
What I wanno know is who made arzzzeholes like this "Freddie Coogar" the moral police of NL to go about insulting his mother, father and grand parents and ancestors all over NL?

Desola:

Yet when they say you're only good for the kitchen, you start waving and shaking your head left to right and rolling your eyes.

Abeg, women are not ready to be taken seriously jo.

All that wasted years in tertiary education only to sit over a hot stove in the kitchen, bosom feed husband, breastfeed child and lay on your back every night. Worrawasteofgoodlife!!!

OAM4J:

Political discussion is about expressing opinions on political issues however silly or faulty the opinions may be, then different opinions are debated and we don't need to agree on any opinion but in the course of the debate everyone learn something. Since you have a better, more refined, more meaningful and more sensible argument, you should have expressed them and let the boys be educated by you. Or did anyone stopped you from doing so?

Desola:

You called me Dessy, you called me Dessy, !

My past is catching up with me fast!

yarn me more abeg . . . . But Dessy na correct name

The only post on this thread that makes sense so far

Simply put, Nigerian men in this section feels threatened and their heckles get raised quickly when they sense anyone from the female of the species who comes across as formidable. They are onto her like sharks to blood, SMH, even me sef wey wahala like me small bow the first time I mistakenly wandered into this section with the level of viciousness displayed towards my always gentle self, infact I am still traumatised till date

OAM4J:

The thread is not about you but about women's participation in politics and political discussions and you are equally guilty of many of the things they complain about.

So let's talk about ladies participation in politics and political discussions abeg  

coogar:

desola, are you related to kas?

coogar:

They are toothless sharks, really.

When they bark, you just hold your ground and bark harder, it's pretty easy.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I don't do 'alaye' threads. Especially when they are into 2 pages of 'derailment' with you and your fellow ijjiots with numerous handles.
We shall meet again.
You sick bassstar-d!
Enjoy!

BootyOnMe:

Meanwhile. . . dig up the half-aborted children you have buried for rituals in your mother's compound! Who are also your brothers and sisters WITHOUT FATHERS!
MODA-FOKA!
Enjoy!

Desola:

Hahaha, I think that is a leading question abi? You want to yab me, abi?

I'll answer sha, No.

Why do you ask?

coogar:

i give back what i get in in good measure, pressed down and shaken together!

go f[i]u[/i]ck yourself, you necrophile!

ohhhh - that line still gives you nightmares. the resurrection of your aborted babies and killing them again?
i was just phucking with your mind. your aborted babies are beyond resurrection. not even synagogue can reach those depths of miracle.

you are a married woman. married women don't cyber-gangsters - how irresponsible your husband must be to have left you this lonely to become a serial forum troll! if he's not around, sleep with his best friend and spare us your 50 yr old - "i must blog by force".

Jenifa_:

lol

Are you talking about d same Nigeria where parts of d country is ruled under sharia?
place where some of the same sentiments about gender roles is shared across the country?
speak loud and clear? stand up and fight?

well, if women had d power to do so, they would. but for now they don't. let's wait and see. As more and more join d work force and gain economic freedom, things most likely will start to change.

i'm not saying this is for good or bad. but at least in d direction you seem to want it to go.
