Happy sunday to you too. Yea. I'm going into politics when I'm older. carefreewannabe: Keep up the good work, no progress without women like you. Happy Sunday sis! |
pickabeau1: Yes u do....just because...but wat the heck..its only an opinion..That's the wrong opinion. But yea it's yours ![]() CSI:new york |
coogar: yes....in almost every case. |
Yea. It's African and it's our culture. So even if it's not fair to women it shouldn't be protested because? Well I know better. But like someone said. It's just a matter of time. No need to hyperventilate over issues that will reslove themselves the more people get exposed. carefreewannabe: Don't mind them, some people will call the oppression of women an African thing and feminsim un-African forgetting that Americans and Europeans were very much like Africans A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. |
So I support it just because? Well you still don't get it. But yea let's leave it at that. It's a cool sunday here and my favorite show is on pickabeau1: OK.. |
[quote author=BABE!]You being clueless isn't an insult. Cococandy, you bullied me. you even claimed you knew who "panthar" was. You made false claims that I was a man/trany. My crime was saying that women are over emotional beings...... which you actually proved right. May Zeus forgive you.[/quote]I repeat I didn't throw one at you first. Check yourself. You must have been snide or condescending. But I'm not interested in dilly dallying over oldies. My Apologies if you felt bullied. I don't know Zeus. But I forgive you even if you don't apologize for your part in it. ![]() |
coogar: that is if they both agreed to have the baby from the outset. can a man apply for mortgage in his wife's name even when the wife isn't interested in it.....he still goes ahead with the application till it was approved...and then proceeded to use the court to force her to pay monthly payments? |
Trust me if I insulted you,you threw the first one.I don't insult people for having a different opinion. I don't roll like that. If you want to discuss with me,you've to put away high handedness,condescention and leave such words like clueless or any form of snides out of it. You won't get any vitriols from me that way. [quote author=BABE!]don't take it personal. I'm sure you have many clues when it comes to non-feministic issues. It's possible you're a very smart individual. But when it comes to feminist issues, I can't take anyone of you here seriously. Weren't you the babe insulting panthar (before the e-tsunami) because she had a completely different opinion from you? Now you're claiming church. Rich. [/quote] |
I don't need schooling. Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending a state of equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women. Is it a western ideology? Maybe because it was specifically given a name in the west. But world over women in developing countries have been fighting to be heard. Is that any different from the definition of feminism above? No. So should we give our own another name because we don't want to identify with the west? Help me out with a suitable name. Are there such gender inequalities in my society? YES! So do I have a legitimate reason to support the cause? Of course The things is that all these merry go round just seeks to distract from the real issues of oppressive inequality issues rampant here. I'm sorry if men are oppressed in the west but it won't stop me from sticking to my guns about female emancipation here. pickabeau1: You don't know much about western laws yet carry a western ideology |
coogar: it should be scrapped! |
It's funny that I don't question your reasons for being non feminist. At least I understand that you may have a reason if you've experienced male gender suppression. But you think you have an opinion about my feminism even when you have no idea why I chose to be. Do the insults make you feel smarter? Enjoy yourself. [quote author=BABE!]You? Feminist? ![]() You're one of those clueless females I mentioned yesterday. Nothing more.[/quote] |
pickabeau1: Hahahaa..I confront issues as they affect me, that's why you see me not talk too much about the west and their gender equality laws. I can't argue with someone who lives there and experiences it first hand. The thing is instead of complaining that one gender has a movement dedicated to it's betterment,you should be very glad that you don't need one such movement in this part of the world where men are kings and the women are struggling to breathe. (well unless you're now living in the west where one is being made to believe that men are oppressed) If that's case pls accept my sympathy. Here's what I think. Women's right activists made it possible for the law to take care of kids abandoned with their mothers by their fathers. Maybe there are loopholes in the law which allows individual judges to manipulate it at will. What's the solution? Instead of scrapping it and making innocent kids suffer alike,it should be reviewed and made to apply to only the men who the kids are theirs biologically. If some of these judges are men,it begs the question why? Is this about caring for the kids or more about the money? |
That's very unfair. If you haven't seen any feminist stand against it? Well Now you have. [quote author=BABE!]Ermm.. That case is just one in a thousand. So far anyone is a woman in those cases, she's the "victim", and the man is "Freddy Krueger". So many fathers paying child support for kids that aren't theirs; so far they make a substantial income, the court orders them to pay. And I've never seen a feminist stand up against this; when the movement is about equal gender right; most of them actually love that innocent men are being leeched upon. Same goes to rape cases too. Police don't even bother to investigate anymore. So far the women is the first to report the räpe, she's the victim. So many innocent men have gone to prison wrongly. Coogar remember that Nigerian student's alleged räpe case?[/quote] |
coogar: it's a widespread practise all over the developed nations, it's not an isolated case. hundreds of thousands of non biological fathers are paying child support for children they did not sire - why do you think we are saying the scheme should be completely scrapped?There's some merit to this POV But what about the demerits? Me I believe in fairness and if the whole scheme is scrapped,some innocent kids will suffer. I can't pretend to know the law in the west,but isn't there somewhere it states explicitly that the fathers should pay for their kids only? Or is there a big loophole that allows the judges to manipulate cases as they wish. If that's so,my advice will be for the young men to be very careful and if possible fight that aspect of the law. Where are the legislators? It's not only women that get to fight for their rights. Like the case of that young man I just read now,if I was him I'll appeal that ruling. If more young men paying for kids that aren't theirs stood up to fight it,it'll surely become unpopular and on it's way out. Dating someone and being nice to her kids doesn't make you responsible for them. |
I know where you're driving at. I won't indulge you. ![]() If it's any consolation,it's your fellow men treating yous thus unfair. What won't human do for money while pretending to care about little children? pickabeau1: Reasonable?..u make me laff |
I don't know any reasonable person who would either. Maybe like someone on this thread said,it's a racket that earns the govt money. I don't know how true that statement is but if critically examined,there may be some truth to it. Because it definitely beats reasons. Why should that man pay for kids that are not his? Poor guy There's more to that story. And maybe someone somewhere is benefiting from all that. BTW I don't think judges should be above sanction. That one needs his license(or whatever) suspended for awhile. pickabeau1: Not you... |
![]() Yes of course I praise unbridled irresponsibility. And I support men paying for kids that are not theirs. Do you want add anything else? Keep making your assumptions. pickabeau1: Why u dey open eye..... |
sharubutu: What is beautiful about a home where the husband or wife cheats? You're a bad Person. No wonder there's so much evil in the land; Boko Haram, armed robbery, kidnapping, rituals, corruption, etc. "Evil only prevail when good men chose to be quiet"Fixed ![]() |
Confront the wife instead. It works better. Tell her you have evidence if she decides to continue or in case she's planning to set you up instead and you'll see her desist. |
Did this really Happen? Unfair doesn't begin to describe it So he was made to pay for his kindness. Wow. Did he appeal the ruling? CityNG: I was in class with someone from the state of Washington who had a real horror story. |
Yes I'm honest with my self. I believe in God. I'm christain because I was born one and I like Jesus' teachings. But I don't honestly believe that all others are condemned to hell because they are not christains. I don't know what to make of that. But I try to understand other people's religions too whenever I come across them. EnlightenedSoul: I'm honest with myself. I have to be. |
I understand. I know some people who are like that too but not brave enough to speak openly about it. EnlightenedSoul: Religions are interesting to me, though none have inspired my "faith" so far. I come from a Muslim family, but I don't practice. |
When I'm typing my phone underlines incorrect words or those absent in it's dictionary. Here's a screen shot from my phone to tell you that there could be a reason why that word is in quote and maybe not necessarily what you think. I maybe wrong as to her reason why but I'm Just saying give people the benefit of doubt ok? Goodnight ![]() pickabeau1: You ?.. trying to twist?... that u confessed you dont read posts but just the title...
|
Na wa for you o. It was only on one thread I said I didn't read the post but only the topic. So now that's my style? Phew. Anyway the thing is you haven't made your point clearly. I think she's calling out women here. But you think what? I don't know what to admit to. Is the problem the emasculate in quote or don't you agree with the body of the post? If it was someone else would you see it that way? Or because you don't believe she'll ever call out women you doubt if this one is sincere? I think each post should be taken as it comes and not misinterpreted because of the posters history. Which is what it seems you're doing and is wrong. That's all. If I see your point and agree with it,I'll tell you.. pickabeau1: You ?.. trying to twist?... that u confessed you dont read posts but just the title... |
Are you atheist? EnlightenedSoul: Interesting discussion. Following |
It depends on if you're on american or british english. My device definitely gives me the autocorrect on it. Which means that I'd put it in quote too if I was typing. But I'm not saying that's why she did. I'm saying it could be. And I'm saying if that's why,then we can't use the quoted word to discredit the whole post. Meanwhile I'm not good at nuances. So give it to me straight oga. pickabeau1: My friend cococandy.... cococandy.. i love debating with you but at times... |
There are different typed of hugs |
crackhaus: I guess you trying to pass a message to someone else other than me with the second part of your post huh?which makes it cool that this time around it's for the women to sit up pickabeau1: cococandyAnd you dear my friend have a very weird way of comprehending people. If I read you correctly,you're saying she's giving women tips on how to actually emasculate men rather than discouraging them from it? If that's what you mean,all I can say is 'WOW So someone who calls guys out frequently can't one day chose to call women out? Is that an impossiblity? If your conclusion was based on the fact that the word emasculate was in quote,then it may be a wrong conclusion. Emasculate is not a correct english word. I don't know about the OP but anytime I'm writing I put words like that in quote because my device gives me auto-correct on them. |
pickabeau1: I had to laugh at the bolded... lets not make this a pro life vs pro choiceYou seem to be the one who doesn't know what you're professing. Let's just for the sake of argument agree that feminism is all about a woman's right to abort. In simple clear terms it means if she doesn't want the baby,she can get rid of it? Simply put. That means she could want the baby or not. It is about the freedom to chose. Wrong? Hence if she wants the baby,she can't be made to lose it and vice versa. Doesn't it then follow that there will be women feminists who support abortion and those who don't? And each saying their right to keep or abort the baby be preserved? How is that contradictory? All in all the right of the individual woman in question is recognized and each case treated according to it's merit. So if one feminist thinks abortion is cool,another has to? The underlying theme is that each woman is allowed to do what she feels is best for her in her own case and be ready to bear the consequences!!! What about the men here in support of abortions? They are feminist too? Confused much? |
Ok let me break down my stand in simple sentences that are not confusing. Pro choice recognizes the right for a woman to terminate a pregnancy in cases of emotional,physical or psychological health issues. Pro life says life is life and under no circumstance should a life be terminated. No true pro lifer will advocate abortion in a case of r@pe. But you as pro lifer will. Isn't that 'watered down'? I actually don't support abortion just because. I support abortion in cases of r@pe,in.cest,health issues et all. Does it mean that the foetus is less 'human' in those cases? Of course not. So one can't truly call themselves pro life if they can advocate abortion in such scenarios. And I remain convinced that no matter the situation that led to it,there are sentiments and emotions involved. It can't be wished away. pickabeau1: Sentiments |
So you were biased. Ahhaa crackhaus: Well she's not entirely known to paint men in good light.Well that's nairaland anyway. No one reads what you're saying at the moment. They read what they assume you mean. Because of their pre-formed ideas about how your mind works. |
pickabeau1: is a woman atached to blood clots..... nahYes. Blood clots. Bunch of cells Non viable outside the womb Not taken the human shape or form Not alive yet. Is that the reason for the abortions? Hardly. Is it possible to be attached to it? Definitely. The moment you think of it as your child it becomes one. Even if you're pro choice,you will get attached to your foetus if you see it as your child. That's why it's a big decision to be able to go ahead to have an abortion if it's the only solution. I repeat it's not something to be toyed with. |
