PRESENTATION:


God is probably hermaphrodite

If he is quantifiable in human terms, then he is not God.

A fully comprehensible God is no God at all.

You and who dey laugh? Dirty agbero
As fool wey you be you still no get am..itibolibo undecided

Dirty agbero really?
Fool? lol is that the best you got?

I don't call people names online, manners you will come to learn as you get enlightened.

If you think I missed a point, educate me or refute my stance. Don't resort to name calling, it's childlike.

Organism000:
That is a technical knock-out. Adichie actually finished the masculine egotism there. Even a simple response like 'Women can not also feel Fatherhood' will put men in a defensive position, which men are not used to.

Men always have their say and their day, but the Adichie is leading Feminism to dismantle the very last column and beams of the structure of masculinity that men who are guided by ego will respond to her with attacks, but not forgetting that apart from our cash, there is nothing else we can offer the women, except ofcourse sperm, which they can get from their houseboys.

But we must take it easy, because no matter how sweet the vibrattor is, and how much the finger of the lesbian his, a dicck still has its place in nature.

I love Adichie, and all intelligent women out there, and I still really wish I can find one who is not worshiping a virus.

I was applauding you until i got to the bolded lol
totally not necessary.

Feminism isn't a movement against d**k lol but im sure you already know that

Technically, The term is "the point flew over you" not the other way around

Are you also aware that God said let us create man in our image. If he was a she, a woman would have been created first. I see you don't believe in God, so no need for this conversation.

And in who’s image were women created?

Please read other books other than your bible.
You need to understand the misogynistic history of biblical times, maybe then it will start making sense to you why God is referred to as having a male gender by those who authored the bible.

Hardlife:
Reasonable arguement? Lol so you mean i should start debating with you on the sex of God? If you are a true christian, read your bible always and pray for understanding. Only then will you know that there are some certain things that are not to be discussed with God as the subject- just like what you intend doing. The being of God is way beyond any human logic or reasoning you think you have.

I rest my case here. Peace.

The being of god is way beyond any human logic or reasoning and yet you make fun of another person for saying our mother in heaven.
Isn’t that hypocritical?

I am yet to make any comment as to the gender of God.
I am just refuting you for making fun of the idea that someone refers to God as mother.

GistLivePro:
God referred himself as 'I'm he'.

First and foremost, you realize the bible was translated.
Secondly, you realize that ‘he’ is a personal pronoun humans invented to categorize men from women.

So if your ‘god’ is non-human, why are you categorizing him with a human made adjective?

And lastly, the only time God ever answered a question about what he or she is- the answer was ‘I am who I am’

Hardlife:
and you think you are sensible like this. . . right? Well I don't think you are really ignorant. You are just being plain foolish.

I was expecting you to come back with a reasonable argument but instead you said nothing sensible.

You’re so deep rooted in your ignorance that you cannot even fathom the idea of a female god
Nigerians... we got a long way to go.

Equality feels like oppression when you’re so accustomed to privilege.

African men fret at the mentioned of Chimamanda As you should. She challenges our traditional sense of entitlement as men and it scares the baby Jesus out of us

milemimi93:


I feel sorry for women. Because they don't know what fatherhood is like..

They don't know the blessings that come with being a father.

First of all, as a father ur kids including ur wife bear ur name

That is no longer the norm for enlightened men.

NwaJozi:
I bet she starts The Lord's prayer with " Our Mother who art in heaven"

And what is wrong with addressing god as a woman?
Did god tell you he is a man?

Be sensible with your posts.

if let's says robbers attacked ur home with u&ur wife,. Based on what u have said, would u not take any steps 2 protect ur wife or is it ur wife that will protect u? If u are driving a vehicle with ur wife or sister in d vehicle then u have a flat in d middle or nowhere, would u tell ur female companion 2 change d tyre while u watch?

Right there- you just proved Chima’s Point. that’s what feminism has been trying to correct. Traditional gender roles. Women don’t need protecting from men. My wife could infact be stronger than me and do the protecting.

Our notion has always been that a man has to do the protecting and a woman needs to be protected. But that is wrong.

Let me point out what is wrong in your example.
1. You just assumed that because I am a man, that I am therefore stronger than my wife. Wrong- women have being denied access to certain type of job because of this way of thinking. E.g skepticism against women entering the police force.

2. My wife isn’t a stranger. I am protecting her because I love her, not because she is a woman. If I was married to a man, I’d do the same thing for him, because I’m in love with him not because he cannot defend himself.

3. You also just assumed that because I’m a man I should know more about cars and changing tyre than a woman. My wife or sister could be a mechanical Engineer. She could be an Olympic lifter who can lift weights I can’t even imagine and in a better position to jack the car and change the tyre.

Ask yourself- when two men are in a car and the tyre needs to be changed, why is it that the one with more knowledge about cars gets to change the tyre, but when it’s a woman and a man, the man is expected naturally to do the changing of the tyre, disregarding the fact that the woman might actually be light years smarter and a better option for that than him?
Apply this to every other area of life, so you now see how such little things deminish the relevance of women.

The traditional thought process would be for a man to do all this things... but it shouldn’t be. Feminism is telling us that this things we think are harmless and good for a woman is actually harming her. It continuously encourages gender inequalities and perpetuate women as weaker beings.

lexy2014:
u c that's d problem. How do u give "preventive advice" on something u no nothing about? How does chimamanda no d mindset of men regarding opening doors 4 women? what research did she do 2 come 2d conclusion that guys open doors 4 women cos they c them as weak?

Coz for decades now men have been treating women like they are weak vessels that need protecting.
The bible example
History
Women not allowed to drive in some countries
Denying women access to certain kind of jobs
Domesticating women (very prevalent in your country)

Need I go on.
Time and time again, men have treated women Like weak beings that need protection. Chilvary is just another one of such avenue. Painting women like damsels in distress that need saving (half of Hollywood and nollywood/ Bollywood movies are guilty of this)

Read up on subconscious bias. Sometimes even what you consider harmless is rooted from a harmful subconscious way of thinking.

It’s like growing up in Nigeria, when I see a woman driving a bus, I hesitate before entering, then I reprimand myself for my bias... these bias occur without you and I even realizing it. Chima is calling for a conversation. Drawing awareness to the fact that what might seem harmless to you, is rooted in a wrongful way of thinking or bias that re-enforces gender inequality.

You may not like Chima, but please do not pretend to be ignorant too.

lexy2014:
how does chimamanda know d "mindset" that makea guys open doors 4 women? Does she have a software that reads men's minds when they open doors 4 women?

It’s a preventive advise if you will.

She didn’t say she reads mind- she is saying ‘IF that is your mindset, then it is wrong. But if that is not your mindset, then open away door for people

She is just pointing out the subconscious bias that Men have. It’s more a self question. When you open a door for a woman, ask yourself- why are my doing this? Is it because she is a woman, weak and needs door to be opened for her? Or are my simply doing this because I’m a kind person who simply just want to help another being regardless of gender or perceived strength notions. One is right, in fact encouraged and the other is plain wrong and re-enforces gender inequality.

lexy2014:
when did chimamanda now become an expert on how &why men should open doors 4 women? Does she have software that reads d minds of men 4 her 2no d intention behind a man opening door 4a woman? If a guy decides to open door 4 women and doesn't do same 4 guys, is it not his hand he is using? Is it chimamandas hand he is using? And did any woman complain that they don't like men opening doors 4 them?

Re-read again the paragraph you highlighted. I’m sure you didn’t understood it.

Your response doesnt show that you comprehend what I wrote.
