chaircover:
You know what; you are absolutely right!
Some of the best bakers, chefs, hairdressers and midwives sef are men
I wonder what Tosan cakes would have done if he wasnt a baker!
Ainsley Harriett, jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey et al are all male.
My 2 hairdressers in Ibadan are male. When they do twist hennnnn

Dami tell me about it o! There are a few things that I cant do. Is it everything you will be calling your neighbour for?

coogar:
but it's the 21st century, women shouldn't be made to stay at home. housemaids can provide the same care a mother can provide.

is that not the argument of the women some many moons ago when we had this argument?

i wish this had happened to one of the "mothers with newborns must work" crew that argued with me on that thread.

r231:
Only 8slices

At least I didn't finish the whole bag

r231:

crackhaus:
Don't try to front, I was never part of any western influence crew - that's you projecting and making stuff up.

My argument on that topic by 5minsmadness was on the right versus wrong regarding the lady's dress sense, I never even typed the words western or west once on that thread - you can go confirm.
You won't catch me slipping on this boards by changing goalposts on the same subjects.

BTW Cococandy, you have not answered these questions before;
- What is naturism and where did it begin?

- In the old Sokoto Caliphate, Oyo empire, Benin empire, and kingdom of Nri, did people walk around completely n.aked without fabrics to cover up?

- When was naturism part of Nigerian culture?

By the time you answer these questions, you would realize you didn't know what naturism really entailed.

As a bonus question;
- Name one ethnic group in Nigeria you know of that had no single piece of fabric/clothing on their body, ergo, the grownups walked around completely butt n.aked from head to toe

coogar:
see me thinking the girls do more in the kitchen - absorbing the heat from the boiling pepper and oozing out sweats in their pores. how can they get fat in that circumstance?

crackhaus:
Absolutely.


Please point us to where crackhaus said Africans are saints, or that naturism is evil.

Now do you understand why I say you're projecting?

It's called naturism and it is a social movement in the west - when was naturism ever part of our culture?
In the old Sokoto Caliphate, Oyo empire, Benin empire, and kingdom of Nri, did people walk around completely n.aked without fabrics to cover up?

Do you even know what naturism entails?


What is naturism, when and where did the movement begin to gain prominence?

Don't correct what you're not certain of yourself - I would like you to answer the above question explicitly.


Then you shouldn't have typed any of that to me, I'm not responsible for what every Tom and Jude ascribes to western influence on Nairaland.

Projecting!


Sorry darling, you need the lecture yourself - naturism did not begin in the nineteenth century.

Like I said before, do a research on it and not guess or assume off the top of your head the reason why/how it started.


Does this even make sense to you?

Like I asked before, when was naturism part of our culture?


Ohh I thought you already answered yes when you claimed I said naturism is evil, or are you losing track of yourself?

This is what I typed:

It is a western ideology/movement that hasn't influenced Africans, ergo, it can become western influence if it does.

How can I think something is a western influence when it hasn't influenced Nigerians?

Naturism is a western movement/ideology because it has it's beginnings in the west.


Hi pot, quote your next response properly so I can respond easily.

coogar:
. they should be out there riding bikes, learning how to swim, play football with their mates or playing cops & robbers. that is what shapes men into what they are - not the amount of dishes they can do!

coogar:
hahahaha
i like how you twisted this - so in which circumstance would you see a woman lifting heavy objects that can snap her spine into two while the hubby is in the kitchen slicing tomatoes?

not many cases. But not impossible. We have a family close to us where the husband is the main cook of the house simply because he does it better than the wife. And yes he's the main breadwinner too because momma patti surely makes peanuts compared to what he does

women aren't secondary beings
i don't think that's what he's saying - he only said some roles aren't perfectly interchangeable. men should stick to being men and women should stick to their traditional roles in the home. it's what it is - i don't intend to compete with my wife in the kitchen.

the thing is teaching boys how to be domesticated and girls to be ( erm, what? I don't know ) won't make any gender less of what they are. Even some roles aren't perfectly interchangeable, emphasis on perfectly,it doesn't hurt for one to try as much as possible to be as versed in them as they can. Times have changed,so the measure of womanhood has moved from how well a woman can cook.

bukatyne:
And tomorrow treads like 'why do girls say they were used and dumped'; 'why do wives think that chores are demeaning' etc. will crop up

I pity the 'Nigerian' woman made for the 'Nigerian' man

P.S.: I wonder why 'we are Africans'; 'this is Africa' etc, chants are used for irrelevant and backward stuffs

No 'this is Africa' so we are hospitable, honest, hardworking etc. people

@OP: teach your child what you will

coogar:
i still expect her to cook for me though & i will handle the more physically tasking chores. it's what it is. i don't see how a woman cooking for her own partner makes her a slave to him.

coogar:
who can't take care of himself? that's the normal human basic instinct na. i hated the kitchen - all i wanted to do was eat & dump my plates in the sink.

when the time comes, water will find it's level. every human being would work out their survival instincts. i don't think i am a good cook. i don't want be a good cook....and it makes me appreciate it the more when chics make food for me.

crackhaus:
I don't know where your rants are coming from…

rants .

Have I blamed the west for anything here?
Have I said Africans are saints?
Have I said naturism is evil?

yes. You implied nudism has western origins. Accept that you're wrong. Because even though we don't have a name for it or a movement for it,it is part of our culture that we have replaced with the western culture of prim and proper dressing.

Did you miss my first comment on this thread (not the one you quoted)?

I said I want only sexy women to practise naturism and my reference to Nigerian women in the comment you quoted is based on the premise that while copying modern western ideologies/movements, young Nigerian women conveniently left out the one that African men would actually like.

again the only ish I have with your post is that you think nudismm is a western movement/ideology. Which is the only thing I sought to correct.

I'm sorry, but where did you miss my point before going on a tangent about evil, saint, or blame?
You need to slow down yo!

the rest of my post about Africans being saint or whatever is more of a general statement like I did point out. It is so common around nairaland these days for every tom and Jude to ascribe everything to western influence . It is like that's the new cool these days.


Go and do a quick research before coming up with theories off the top of your head - don't rely on what you think.

i had already given you a little lecture that nudism as a movement is a relatively new concept in the west that started in the nineteenth century. But is so not new to Africa. Rather Africans are fighting had to maintain western mode of dressing. So next time you want to ascribe nudismm to the west,remember where they got it from. I think you're the one who needs to go read up in the subject.

Naturism is a movement, it has a historical timeline that has absolutely nothing to do with Africa.

the movement itself has nothing to do with Africa because nudism is already a part of our culture hence no need to begin a movement to try make us more comfortable in our naykeddness..


Come back tomorrow and read this thread from the top - then ask yourself where you got your 'blame the west for the evils of naturism' interpretation.

you may not see it as evil. But you certainly think it is a western influence. Which is not true.

I'm pretty sure you're projecting


hello kettle. How are you .

coogar:
by the same token, not doing those domestic chores has nothing to do with him being an all-round balanced man. i am extremely balanced and i didn't cook stew until my mid-20s. what did i miss?

carefreewannabe:
I am rarely speechless but I was after watching the video.

You won't see the child die though but watching the video will make you feel bad for sure.

I am still shocked and sad.

coogar:
cococandy, don't be a victim!

räpists don't openly brag about sėx or talk about women. in the eyes of the world, he's a virgin whom no one has seen with a woman. he's often referred to as a model husband or boyfriend cos he hardly womanises or do the typical things normal guys do.

his räping spirit is his dark passenger. he talks to no one about it unless himself - and the reason he has not been caught is because he's careful enough to avoid certain topics & attributes - so when a man tells you he's a virgin......remove your shoes & run faster than usain bolt!

cococandy:
Like I said before,some of the saintly ones are the worst .

cococandy: Although unfortunately,a guy can seem cool and exhibit non of those traits up there but turn out to be the worst of all despite his saintly outward disposition.

coogar:
according to the OP, if you are in a social gathering and a man is bragging about his conquests, making jokes about sėx and generally making references to sėx then he is a rapïst!!

that's the biggest lie on the planet.
the pastor, lesson teacher, uncle, choir master, etc are more likely to tape a woman than a drunk who's just talking out of his arsë. the quiet ones are actually the ones to avoid - not the loud mouths.

coogar:
the statistics is grim - it's 90%!
9 out of 10 räpe victims knew their attackers before the incident. they trusted him to let him in or go to his yard. so how does the nonsense the OP typed fit into that statistics?

UjSizzle:
So if any guy is guilty of at least ONE charge, then he's a potential molester?
