@carujmonella
Don't forget I'm telling you what should be the case, not saying what already is. Even if your 90-95% claim is true, the men are acting how they think it's right: to literally buy her over. Again I say, you need to meet real feminists not opportunists. I've dated some and they dont expect men to buy them out before they consider being with them (yet out of love and consideration the man can choose to so do). A man should have selling points beyond his money, or a woman beyond her looks. But it's a mad world we live in. angry

If you say you dont know any woman who opens doors for men, then you need to meet more people. Again, i'm telling you what should be the case not what generally happens in such a chauvinistic world as we live in.

Of course I and another feminist can disagree on physical strength being a factor to be considered. I still maintain there are cases where it matters, and cases like an office setting where it does not usually matter. If I was a fireman in a burning house, I'll save physically weaker people first if I had a choice. Children and pregnant women, Old people, other women, then men. It's the sensible thing to do and has nothing to do with chauvinism. undecided

Saying teen girls also have wombs is just ridiculous. There's a far higher risk of losing their lives, compared with a young boy releasing from his eager abundance of sper'm. angry

stexsy: am suprise that such cud happen o, y did't God reveal it to jesus when he prayed for the sick servant?
Jesus healed the young man because the centurion had faith, not because of how the young man gets down in the privacy of his master's house. What does someone's se'xual orientation have to do with getting healed? Even if he was homo, you think Jesus would have said Yuck this guy forks guys from the backdoor, so I will let his servant die on the sick bed? undecided angry

Raise your hands up if your loving mother (or wife if married, or yourself if you're female) is educated, can move about freely and talk freely, wear clothes of her choosing, and can choose her line of business or career; and yet you're speaking against feminism undecided

I hope you know these are some of the things feminism has achieved so far, over time. Yet there's still a lot to be done. If you won't help the movement by educating people and encouraging a change of mindsets, at least don't discourage those doing so. For the sake of your future generations.

Frankenstein: Only ugly girls support extreme feminism. The surname issue is just baseless. 90 percent of Nigerian women don't have a problem with that.
I hope you know this surname issue is why some parents discriminate against the female child?
- After all she won't bear my surname
- I have 3 daughters and no son to carry my family name
- etc

These issues are real problems for some people, you have to look beyond your myopic view of "Ugly girls support extreme feminism" and "90% of Nigerian women don't care". Are you really sure they dont care? Or they have accepted their fate as the societally subjugated? Or you know things they may have suffered or privileges lost in their family because they are being forced to change surname?

Please before condemning life-changing movements like feminism from our prejudiced platforms of privilege we should try to see things from the perspectives of the oppressed.

pc guru: I have no issue with Feminism except that most of those that advocate for it in Nigeria, are usually biased and only want feminism when it only favours them such instance is the dating scenario who handles the bill, or the guy supposing to be a gentleman by opening the door (yep that's actually sexist), or even the law stating in the case of emergency children and women are evacuated first. am up for feminism but practice what you preach. some just support it because somehow its suddenly cool to be a feminist.
Every movement has its faux members who advocate their own agenda in the movement's name, yet it does not make the movement's actual agenda a joke. Some of your points might not really apply.

(a) Issues like who handles the bill is a case by case matter that should be handled maturely by 2 adults dating. There shouldnt be any fixed rule, sometimes either of them can pick the tab or they can split it depending on what they agree to do or based on what they know about each other's finances. This is more a case for common sense, financial responsibility and maturity than feminism.

(b) As per the guy opening the door, it is simply polite to open the door for someone coming through, when you are closer to the door. Whether you are male or female, and whether the person coming through is male or female, and no matter his/her age. This is social etiquette.

(c) I sort of agree with first saving women and children in a general population for reasons like:
- Women and children are generally physically weaker than men. Saving them first tends to minimize overall loss or risk if all lives are counted as equal.
- In extreme cases like war or some other risk of genocide, women and children are the only hope for restoring the population when things finally calm down, or heaven forbid if things go on for longer than anyone imagined. After all only women have wombs for reproduction. Male seed can easily be gotten from any 12 to 13 year old boy.

Evil Brain: The history and culture of ancient Rome is well known and thoroughly studied. We have countless letters, laws and inscriptions. There's mountains of gay Roman art and artefacts, including sėx toys. There are Roman buildings still standing with 2000 year old dirty pictures scribbled on them. There are Roman statues and engravings depicting explicit gay sex. There are Roman statues of shėmales and other weird gay stuff in museums all over Europe. Romans wrote about homosexuality in a matter of fact, "by the way" manner as if it was a normal thing.

Even Julius Caeser was known to have had relations with men and it didn't diminish his reputation in any way. Also, his successor, the great Caeser Augustus was a flaming homo and nobody cared.

Its good that you're asking for proof sha. Hopefully, you'll apply the same level of scepticism when next you think about your religion.

RomanceRe: MRM Vs Feminism by axion(m): 4:04pm On Oct 17, 2013
The gender gist is simple, the real difference between men and women is biological. As a rule of thumb any distinction you make between men and women that cannot boil down to the effect of a biological function is the result of societal privileges and prejudices. E.g. A man can be the primary caregiver to a baby but if he and his partner choose to breastfeed the child he cannot do it himself.

Note that the biological differences in the pursuit of gender equality should not be used as an excuse for further prejudice.

No matter the roles the society places on either gender in general, they should be allowed to choose for themselves in so far as they do not constitute any problem for the society using those choices.
