Family › Re: Challenges Of Being A Man In Our 'modern' Society by addictiv(m):

Good points but you have to understand the other side. Most of these feminists are traumatized. Whether growing up seeing their mother get physically abused by men, or them themselves getting physically or sexually abused by men.

Naturally, men should protect women but sadly, a lot of men abuse the power that they have over women. Men are physically stronger than women

Now, the traumatized woman becomes scared to show her vulnerability. She puts up a strong front so that she won't get taken advantage of. Most of these toxic men are intimidated by women who appear strong, so it works.

The sad part though is that healthy men are weakened by a woman's femininity. They want to protect women's vulnerability, but since these traumatized women hide it, they don't get to take advantage of non-toxic men's protection
What people forget is with power comes responsibilities, Patriarchy gave men power because men had to go out and build the society, fight wars, invent things, create government and kingdoms and some of them abused it. However the heart of this system was not to subjugate women rather to create a world where women and children could thrive and become better versions of themselves and enjoy the freedoms that they do now. However Women want power not because they want to build society, not because they want to create a better world for men and children, but rather they want power for themselves. But like I said with power comes responsibilities and its the responsibility part that leaves an unsavory taste in the mouth of feminists because they only think about the benefits without preparing to be held accountable for the responsibilities that come with power. So now you have women become the major income earner and head of the house and yet complain about their man that sits at home all day taking care of the homefront. You have women wanting to be given top critical corporate positions and yet want maternity leave that will see them out of duty for months. You see women wanting to head government but want the position to be offered to them on a platter rather than contesting like men do for it.
Men have done an excellent job at shielding women from the harsh realities of life and bearing the brunt alone. However time has come for men to let go, and allow women hold the reins and bear the weight and see what's its really like to truly be in charge. It's only then can both genders truly appreciate that we are not the same and that we need each other to play our different roles in order to survive as a species.

The truth is people are beginning to see feminists for what they are. I pity women because they are creating a world where men see women as their competitors and equals, men no longer want to care about women, before a man will give up his seat to help a lady but these days very few men will. The problem with wanting to be the same as men is you have to fend for yourself in the cold like a man does. No longer men protecting women, or giving the easy tasks to women. women are now being forced to become accountable for their actions. No longer women getting the easy way out for offences that would see men suffer harder consequences .Before it was men shouldn't hit women, because women were seen as weak and vulnerable now it is no human should hit another human because feminism claims women are as strong as men. Patriarchy protected women while men did all the hard work of building society while women maintained it.. however believe it or not feminism will protect men and force men to do something that they have never done since man existed and that put themselves and their wellbeing first before that of women. Women asked for equality and equality they shall have.

Sincerely he would have taken the offer... Get the 5 states first. Any other tribe that wants to join will indicate interest on their own. Most igbos prefer a country with just 5 states only ... Landlocked or not, they don't really care. Taking the offer would have saved a lot of lives that have been lost

As we grow older, We become our parents with similar decision making and thought processes. Men should strive to be good husbands and women, good wives. Good husbands and wives are always good parents. Your marriage relationship with each other should take precedence over everything else including your children. When the heart is whole, the body is whole.
If you had a rough childhood or unpleasant growing experience, seek counselling. Don't go into marriage with unresolved personal issues.

Only 700k you want to kill yasef, people are owing 20 million and yet they are still flexing life. You know you can actually stop any loan app from sending messages to your friends and family by using a cease and desist. Even forefit to pay them if they do it and possibly sue them for compensation. It depends on how strong ur heart is. Also when using a loan app, use a phone where you don't have saved contacts. Always ensure you have tangible repayment plans when taking loans, it's evil to take loans and not pay when due.

Politics › Re: 'Any Army Sent To South-East Will Die' - Nnamdi Kanu by addictiv(m):
The govt keeps playing ipob's game. A simple referendum will solve all this problems and save lives. All these bloodshed is not necessary. Nigeria faces a far bigger threat from ISWAP, fighting on different fronts will further stress the weakened military and the North will be overrun. Then other countries will come in to take sides if they still value the oil like before . Winner gets control of the oil. Niger Delta pays the price as usual. The biggest problem Nigeria has is "commot body mentality". People stand and watch seeing their neighbours house on fire because their neighbour is not from the same tribe with them. But the forget that the same fire that will consume thier neighbour if allowed to continue will eventually get to their doorsteps.

Some of the hardest people to deal with in relationships re the self acclaimed decent people. They have an over bloated self perception and set standards for others that they themselves can't and won't meet.
Romance › Re: Apart From Money, What Else Can A Guy Offer? by addictiv(m):
A man offers security... Physical, Emotional, financial etc. When a woman has a problem that needs solution, 70% of the time its a man that shows up to help her out. When a self acclaimed independent woman is being chased or threatened she doesn't run to other women for help, she runs to men. When she calls the police.. She's not expecting a police woman to show up to help her, even if she knows there are well trained police women, she will still prefer a male police officer to offer her protection. When a woman's car breaks down she doesn't turn to women for help she turns to men, when she wants to hire a driver, plumber, gardener she most likely won't turn to women. when a woman is in financial need she most likely won't turn to women, she turns to men. When a woman's house is on fire... A band of fire women doesn't show up.. Men do. In times of conflict and war, who goes to the frontlines to secure peace... Men do. Women are able to become independent today because men provided the environment for them to thrive. The cars, planes, boats and houses they have are all built by men. That's not to say that women don't contribute to society. However when a woman says she doesn't need a man, she's just being delusional. If all the men disappeared from the world today, a bleak future awaits a majority of women because a lot won't be able to survive. In relationships most women just want to be taken care off and enjoy the pleasures of life, even the self acclaimed independent woman. They will prefer a life with no responsibilities with the man bearing everything vs having to deal with daily life hassles by themselves. And truth is most men don't have issues bearing these responsibilities as long as he has the means and the woman is cooperative, loyal and willing to work with him.

I find it strange that people decided to get married, share a house, intimacy, kids, everything else but keep their money separate. When you become one with someone, your money should stay together. If you can't trust ur husband or wife with your money then you shouldn't be married to them in the first place.
