Easy for the Bukatyne to say as a lady. The pressure is never on the lady. She can do whatever she wants in life and no one really labels her.
For the men, if they pursue satisfaction in the current system, they might end up not being so financially made and it's you women that'll still label the men as... and prefer the wealthier men for marriage so as to have the family secure.
So in the real world, the man usually has to abandon passion and pursue money, and he'll smart for it even if he makes it cause there'll still be a void down there.
Yeah, yeah, I know you'll name a few who might have made all the cash while pursuing their passion but the point is life ain't math and it doesn't always work out. So for many men, they choose between getting satisfaction from their societal status or their passion.
Might be strange but I have to thank you for taking them to read the thread. cheesy

These are the kind of discussions I expected.

Truly, I have heard men say the calling/purpose vs work discussion favors the woman more because traditionally the man provides for the wife so she is freer to discover her calling and pursue it.

I believe it is sometimes a gradual process that requires easing into.

The first stage is to discover it thereafter acquire what extra you need to stand out and then ease into it.

A lot of people would never find it: some might be ready for that plunge in middle age and some are lucky to find it and can afford to pursue at a younger stage.

I pray God grants us the grace and resources to fulfill our purpose.

Amen.

Look for them wherever they are, don't say a word, spread your arms out, grab and hug them from the front deeply from the depth of your heart for at least a minute. Look them in the eyes, smile, walk away and carry on with what you were doing, without saying a word.

Oh, I forgot, it works on kids too.

It does a lot of magic. cheesy cheesy wink
Nice one.

Correct, but we don't know what you are saying for a fact. That might not even be the scenario. We all blame the mother because the child is her responsibility. It is on the same premise that I blame the child's father. Notice most people didn't remember the father because many of us subconsciously downplay a father's role. A child brought into this world is not for the mother alone. Fathers must be encouraged to be responsible. If the father had been there while the women messed up, that child might still be alive.
I don't downplay a father's role that was why I asked if they were married.

Flipping it, if the child was with the father, I would ask if he was married to the mother.

If yes, where she was when the husband went on a week party.

It is about accessibility to the child.

I will blame him just as I blame the mother. You don't just impregnate/father a child and go and sleep. You owe your child a responsibility. Men should quit thinking a child is in safe hands because they are with the mother. Why did he feel comfortable leaving this poor child alone with this woman? Do you really think he has been playing father role to the girl or maybe left all to the incapable mother?
It is not about solving it from the top? .

Let's imagine she is a single mother with the primary custody of the child:

How does the father know that she is going for a week long party without the mother telling him?

How do we know he has not applied severally for custody and he was denied because the girl was a toddler?

Now, if they were married, we can very well blame the father because even if he traveled, he ought to communicate everyday.

Then he will find out the daughter is not where the mother is.

Not being married doesn't mean that dead girl is fatherless. I'm rather concerned about the father to daughter relationship, if at all, than the man to woman thingy.
If the father is not present as per married to the mother, you can't blame him.

What if it was the mother's week to have the girl?

Or she has full custody?

The father can only be aware if she let him in.

Even her mother didn't know.

Mother of this cute child did wrong and should be punished but I wonder why nobody is asking for the father? Or is the father not supposed to take care of his child too? Shouldn't he be aware of the welfare of the child?
The better question is 'was she married'?

You are really good at making enemies, very good at it! But then I'd be a fool to be offended. grin

First on page on, it wasn't bullying but reactions to your post. I offered solution to avoid provocations, you went defensive, I ignored. I only told a guy not to trouble you. I went offline only to meet several pages of both men and women reprimanding you. You responded to ladies only which I find intriguing though. Your banters became interesting when it was you and Kunta alone aside the disturbed kid chest beating all over the thread, I was entertained. It got disturbing though when monikers popped out. And I did protest that.

But in your mind I called the mods when my "friend" got involved, that's laughable! Dande has every right to post what she wants. She wasn't even in your fight but you have a way of making everything about you isn't it. I have even called the mods before I saw her post.

Woman, that I called the mods doesn't mean Im looking to be on your good side. I don't know you! I've told you this before, I only called mods to curtail an absurd situation. If you think every female is your enemy, your loss not mine. I'm not the one carrying that burden. grin grin grin

And like I typed earlier : You will be alright!
I think every female moniker is my enemy?

You guys take yourselves too seriously grin

I was feeling sorry for you before but not anymore, you came to mock me after I tried to see things from your point of view. You are just a pretender, pretending to be gentle. I hope the women on this thread rip you to bits and keep ganging up against you.
Feel sorry for your self first.

You literally said 'discover your purpose...but not work because it doesn't give you satisfaction (and by saying this, even though I did not explicitly say it can't be your purpose, I am implying that work cannot be your purpose because it doesn't give you satisfaction) especially compared to having a family'

Lol make your topics clearer and I will do my part to understand yeah
You think a God created a human being just to work till death?

Sad.

Humans are made for more.

And the more is not even marriage.

@bold,

YESSSS! grin
But it's kind of annoying to see women who actively drag female emancipation down in a country and forum where woman hate is rife
Drag female emancipation by telling them to marry good men and be good?

Or telling them to know their worth and choose well?

Or telling them not to sleep around?

Or Defining some points of a good husband?

Abi your own female emancipation is dragging sex.ual count with men instead of choosing good chaste men to marry?

No vex!

Sleep away, marry bad men, treat your husband anyhow.

As in, I'm actually starting to feel bad for her. It's not that deep. If she wants to be that kind of wife /woman, let her be. I just think she shouldn't be projecting her beliefs on others. As for her stance on rape, those have and should be rightfully called out.
Keep your feelings to yourself dear.

Like you said, it is not that deep. wink

I said you insinuated that marriage is a better purpose than work.

You say everyone has a duty to fulfill their purpose then contradict yourself by saying 'work in itself cannot give satisfaction hence replacing your family with 'work' always ends in tears.' and 'That is a work/job: it gives you money and the fine things of life however, it can never give fulfillment.'

You're not the first person to have contradictory views to someone...your messages are just confusing sometimes and your tone often comes across as imposing

Also, all this 'we saw you and went bonkers' talk, as humans we naturally have impressions of people and things. If someone has a history of a certain thing, it's normal to associate you with a type of topic and vibe. It happens to everyone, you're just a little more polarizing than the average. You're the same person who made a topic justifying marital rape, it's not unreasonable to have a 'strong' opinion on someone like that lol
At bold, I differentiated between work and purpose.

So how can I say marriage is a better purpose than work?

Purpose is the reason a thing is created; how can someone be created for marriage?

Read to understand, not to respond.

Took me a while to learn however, I can read an Islamic Cleric's post on Polygamy and learn something about marriage (good or bad).

The above applies to the marital rape thread.

I am not willing to go into that tonight.

Very true but she doesnt know that.

I get that she has a need to make the world a better place, underneath all the funny threads her intention is to be objective and realistic and to help people but the messages in her threads are a bit misogynistic and controversial
And even deliberately attention seeking sometimes
In any case it doesn't warrant ganging up on her sha, everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how shocking it seems, I saw someone saying buka should not have daughters up there, Haba that is taking it too far nau.
Controversial like when I compare a husband to Christ; yes.
Misogynistic, can you point out one? Where I said men are better/superior to women or where I said men should treat women wrongly or hate them?

Women like her are one of the reasons why patriarchy is still well grounded in most societies. grin
And you are bearing your father's surname o!

And you trace your lineage through your dad o!

Critical thinking needs to be added to the curriculum.

Don't just read things and regurgitate them without thinking.

You will be more livid about a girl raped than a guy because of patriarchy; women who live chivalry is part of patriarchy. The women looking for men to propose, pay for the wedding, pay bride price, spend more in the home etc. is patriarchy.

What everyone should do is to teach men how to be worthy and upright patriarchs.

And she thinks she is very intelligent ooo lipsrsealed
I don't think I am intelligent; I know I am.

I am very very self aware of myself so I know myself. grin

You would agree with me it takes a lot of intelligence and self-awareness to go past whatever you have been spoon fed on all fronts (religious, educational, life) and merge your own person.

It is very easy to read something online and jump on the wagon whether it applies to you or not. It is also easy to talk about problems on the surface without digging deep to do an analysis of the root cause. 'Why is this thing the way it is?' 'If we change Y, could be result be different?' 'Is Z happening because X was not taken care of?' 'Can X work in Nigeria? If no, what is a fairer alternative?' 'Am I getting Z results because I support Y even though I close my eyes to W?'

For instance, I find quota system very harmful to feminism. The moment you think women need to be given a quota to represent in a position by merit, you have automatically said 'they are lesser than men so can't compete.'

And it doesn't even help them.

A classic example is Northern Nigeria. The cut off mark is less than 10 for boys in some Northern state while some southern states which is same for male & female is 100+.

Are Northerners more educated today?

Nope.
