@y-fo

And for the record I HAVE been ignoring handles here ever since I found them belligerent, in case you haven't noticed. Unlike someone like Ishilove, who I like to pull her legs and sometimes I say things that sound mean but I know she knows I'm kidding. I generally ignore or avoid people that I find irritable or those who find me irritable.

@axion^^^This is what you said and yes you didn't quote anyone but you did something worse, the tirade is clearly on those who don't take the feminism side.

I was enjoying reading your posts until that happened and you trying to ret-con what you posted isn't cool.

You were replying two or three people and it's normal to get frustrated, but what stopped you from simply ignoring the aspects you didn't like especially after you had quoted the 'strawman's logic'. A case of the preacher not practicing what he preaches perhaps.
Abegi I never said I'm perfect. Am I expected to be perfect because I am arguing for feminism or what? I lost my cool and I guess that wasn't good, but don't make it like that's the real point here. I apologize if I didn't live up to your expectations.

bro, weren't you the one that brought up 'strawman's logic' just now...now look at your first line and tell me why you decided that those who don't agree with you are the 'worst of the nigerian lot'.


Up until that point, you had been making sense but you are just gonna drag all that good work down the mud, going down that route is a sign of either frustration or unwarranted arrogance.



why is it so hard to have civil debates on this topic huh
Yeah I was frustrated, and I think it's alright to vent, especially since I didn't mention anyone. I didn't call them the worst because they disagree with me (why would I accord myself such self-importance?). No, I said that because the thread was starting to deteriorate, and that's the way of most Nairaland threads.

Okay

Ah the worst of the Nigerian lot are all here undecided

Some can't hear the word "feminism" without reacting like rabid dogs on a Pavlovian leash.

How exactly is feminism affecting your lives adversely? Ah of course, if you are male you are scared of losing your precious privileges. The ones that amuse me are the females.

carujmonella: The guru behind human rights for both female and male genders should be written off/off point? undecided. Dude, when are you going to start making sense huh
Again, this is not a thread about racial segregation so why should a sensible person use it as a riposte to my premise on the irony of educated women that are against feminism?
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 3:10pm On Oct 20, 2013
Mrs Chima.

The argument on MLK broadly applies to race discussions, but why bring that up as a riposte on a thread on feminism? My point was: it's ironic for someone against feminism to be benefitting from it. Her response was: but without MLK we won't be here. Duh! It's off point, and even if it's not off point, she is thus supporting me that it's similarly ironic to - so to say - be biting the hand that fed you.
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 3:03pm On Oct 20, 2013
You cannot call yourself a feminist and/or say you support feminism yet you dont find it rational or plausible.

Feminism is one movement, you're either in or out. Those that are out are either against or indifferent.

Feminism is one. You can't make up your own ideas about what feminism is, based on some wrong ideas you have imagined or observed, and then try to pass it off as facts.
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 2:57pm On Oct 20, 2013
carujmonella: It changes your point because you discredited MLK (which you're finally now admitting is among the brain behind both men and women having right to education and what not) because the moniker that corrected you was in support of your "raise your hand" sarcastic post... Simple Simple
undecided Guy you don't seem to be making sense. Where did I discredit MLK? I said it is off point, not that she's wrong. I hope you can comprehend simple statements in English?
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 2:44pm On Oct 20, 2013
Mrs.Chima:
You can't support something and then say it is not realistic. It's like saying scrotums are good but a nuisance.

You are either for it or against it. In some cases, you are neutral.
Exactly. That's strawman's logic for you.
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 2:43pm On Oct 20, 2013
carujmonella: I ask you again Mr goal post shifter, are WOMEN not among our race?. MLK fought for racial emancipation, so I'm asking you again, are WOMEN not among our race?. Are they aliens?. Keep coming up with excuses, I'll keep asking the questions. cool


I don't expect you to answer correctly anyway, you'll shoot yourself at the foot once you say the truth cool
Women are among our race and if not for the remarkable work of activists like MLK I'd likely have been a house slave or on a cotton farm. I wouldn't have gone to school either unless one of my slave-parents married a freeborn. I wouldn't be able to come on Nairaland to argue feminism. Satisfied?

So how does this change my point that it is ironic for an educated woman to be against feminism when her education is mostly thanks to the work of feminism in antiquity?

Or, since you insist on using a race analogy, isn't it ironic for a freeborn black man to say today that he is against the abolishment of the slave trade (without which the negro should have been on a slave ship on the Atlantic)?
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 2:37pm On Oct 20, 2013
@pc guru

Most of the problems people have with Feminism are as a result of wrong notions about what it really stands for. Similar to how some people hate Muslims because of Islamic terrorist factions or hate Christian pastors because some evade tax and divert public funds to live lives of excess.

In logic there's something called Strawman's argument, where you set up your ideas about something you don't fully understand then you start fighting that imagination. It usually ends up in personal insults and nonsensical statements that fly the coop.

@carujmonella What goal posts am I shifting? Can you show me? My stance has been consistent.
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 2:24pm On Oct 20, 2013
carujmonella: Thought as much.. At least you didn't shift the post this time around grin
I'm rather sad that you can't see how ridiculous it is to bring up MLK's work in black racial emancipation as an argument in a discussion on feminism. It is off-point, that's all.

carujmonella: In the same vein, it's absurd to peg the fight for women's right/freedom to feminism/feminist only
You obviously don't know what feminism is if you still make statements like this.

carujmonella: Without martin luther fighting for black's rights and right for BOTH GENDERS to be educated, EDUCATED women won't be able to come on the internet screaming for equality, so she's spot on undecided
What the hell. Why are we discussing racial emancipation on a thread about feminism? So how is she spot on? What's the correlation you are touting here?
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 2:02pm On Oct 20, 2013
pc guru: Even if MLK was a prominent figure in the Black History, he's not the only figure behind Black Liberation, so i wouldn't peg all of our freedom to him, assuming we are free
Guy you get sense die. Imagine her calling MLK as if I mentioned any foremost feminist in history. undecided
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 1:04pm On Oct 20, 2013
carujmonella: Yours as well undecided
We are discussing feminism so my point about an educated woman who seems to be against feminism is spot on.

Ova are not seeds. Do you know what a seed is? angry
RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 1:01pm On Oct 20, 2013
carujmonella: One thing I can deduce from your reply is that equality/equal treatment doesn't exist. That's all I'm trying to let you know tongue. What you don't understand or can't face is REALITY. Women crave for an IDEAL man but the TRUTH is, there's NOTHING LIKE AN IDEAL man. Such a man will never exist. Same goes to EQUAL TREATMENT to both genders, your answers shows it will never happen wink
The thing about idealist movements like feminism is that the Ideal may not be fully achieved but they create awareness and re-educate people, force them to think. In the end, things will always be better for the ones being oppressed.

As someone said, aim for the stars and if you miss, you'll end up in the clouds. All feminists seek is for people to look beyond societally enforced privileges and see from the perspective of the oppressed female. A little change in perspective goes a long way.

pc guru: Well that's another POV to look at it from, but i was look at it from the perception that denotes women as sensitive and weaker sex, therefore the need for men to treat them specially, but you are right, my points are easily dismiss-able. Yeah faux members exist everywhere especially in Nigeria.
This is a common misconception. Seeing women as sensitive and weaker sex that should be "treated specially" is something feminism stands against, too.
