Enlightenedsoul: There should be more feminists across Africa. I firmly believe it would be a better place. it's a gradual process. On the other hand, I can relate with western men who dislike feminism because from evidence,it seems the goal have been achieved to a great extent while some of the remaining feminists are using the movement and the favorable laws to manipulate the men(in some cases) But what I don't understand is African people who think the society favor women and such feminism isn't needed. That's sheer conceit |
Generalshepherd. Your response is seen. I can relate to your number 10 and I understand how that can affect people's beliefs. Thanks for your time |
What a pity. Chai. This is a bad thing for any parent to go through. It's even better your child got sick and died and you got to say your goodbyes than for your child to be taken this way with no assurance of ever getting out and no idea what kind of torture she's/he's going thru' So sad |
I wasn't even insinuating anyone's mind. Lol. I read the thread and the posts that followed got me confused. I know the Op does focus the heat on men many times so I was even happy this time that she balanced it by calling out the women too. Hence my question. Goodmorning. Ewuro1: And What's wrong with the comments? |
Not even in the next lifetime, NO!![b][/b] |
Another pulled out of the air theory I am beautiful. Now that I support it I guess that makes me ugly. Ok if you say so. |
Am I on the same thread? I was thinking the tone is otherwise. As in the don't-do-these-things-if-you-love-your-man kind of tone? ![]() |
Abeg go and sleep o. I'm so drowsy don't be surprised to see a few typos in there ![]() BTW Nigerian beauties full your house. From momma to sisters. Feast your eyes on them. Feminism and beauty. Is there a relationship? pickabeau1: Ok... try and be more specific... |
Goodnight sleep tight. |
That's not for you. He knows himself. And until he can quote me directly to debate like a 'normal' person,that's what he gets. Friend? I'm not here to make friends ![]() pickabeau1: What do you mean by dumbness... |
Feminist can't tell the man to be a man? Why? Because feminism means turning into a man? And what happens to womanhood then? I guess feminism preaches to throw it away. *Rubs my forehead in exasperation.* The kind of dumbness ![]() It's always tough to deal with. Local reasoning. Because you performed your traditional marriage according to your custom means you've bought your wife. I see. Good purchase for you. Anyway you never do have anything worthwhile to say ever. Am I surprised? |
Spoken like someone who's really blind to his surroundings. Actually feminism isn't for you. It is for ladies who are yet to realize their potentials. The messages will go on until it is absorbed. So trouble not your soul. pickabeau1: Yeye dey really smell... |
Those ladies you mentioned are not my role models. Cococandy is food. Coconut candy. You want pics of it? ![]() Introducing crisis for other ladies meaning that in my posts or any posts relating to feminism you've seen women being advised on how to relate with their husbands? Like the movement was started because of a need to dictate to women how to treat their men. Insecurities sha. |
You made made marriage it's objective? Conspiracy theories too badt. ![]() Some women sat down and decided other people's marriages were hurting them so they began a campaign to subtly destroy marriages across the globe. I can't believe people still say such things much less believe them.And I guess de beauvior is the founder of feminism. I'm sorry everyone can't fit into your percieved notion of anti manism and anti marriageism. You are the chief of those who need schooling in what feminsm stands for. Even with evidence ranging from 100s of years ago as to it's origin and reason for existence you believe and propagate your personal blackwash of it because deep down you don't believe in equality. Too bad for you it's here to stay ![]() While we are redefining definitions older than our grandparents, can we also say the first christains who suffered to pass the gospel under rain and shine are not true christains but the new breed of money driven dupes using the gospel to propagate their personal agendas are the true and core christains? Makes much sense huh? I know you know the truth. You only chose the sides that fit your mindset But as this dude would say

Hurricane nairaland blew it away. In a way. troy20: aha! I thought as much.so what happend to the other one? |
@ pickabeau. And BTW I and you never agree on this issue. Why do we still do it? ![]() Ok I drop my pen here. My stand is summarized in the OP. You keep yours I keep mine. Goodnight |
I call you moderates the outsiders..they r d true feminists not you lot with your insipid watered down version... A true feminist never sets store by the Bible n its 'nonsensical' notions of submission, male leadership in the family, order in the church etcAnd that there pickabeau is classic bullsh1t. I used to think there was even some modicum of sense to it until I actually read and read and followed the history of feminism. What led to it and what brought about it and it's achievements and it's standing so far. And just like expected some females are shushed from speaking their mind about how they want to be treated because they don't want to appear untrue to their beliefs. Well. You know the definition of feminism. Or you can deny that you don't. If you do.that quoted there is just obvious religious blackmail.those who want to fall can fall for it. You're talking of male headship. In families or the society at large? Like I said before. I only read marriage feminism on nairaland because yous look for all possible points to try discredit it. I've not seen someone in a happy marriage claiming to want liberation.what has it got to do with two soul mates sharing their lives together? Then when you talk about male headship in the society at large. That's where it comes in. Because as a woman,I won't want to be bossed by a less qualified male just because I'm a woman and assumed to not have leadership qualities. Watered down? Very funny. You see something that is being radicalized yet call the proponents of the original idea as those holding the 'watered down' definition. So I guess the new radicals are the ones holding the real and core values. The ones who started the movement centuries ago,those who have made it possible for women to get to where we are today. The pioneers. The originals are the watered down ones. While the everyday over fed rich kids who pick up new silly rights to add to their ideas of feminism are the real feminists. Smh ![]() |
All threads eventually end in the trash anyway but not because we tried to school each other.unless you're thinking of coming at it in the wrong way.Very well then let's agree to disagree. But you owe me o.incase you've forgotten. The link to that chocolate flavored cream(or is edible under wear? I can't remember which) That I was supposed to use wow oga in the bedroom ![]() I'm still waiting. Idowuogbo: Candycoco, you and I know this thread will cool off in the trash section if we begin to school each other. I'll pass oooo.... let the maneaters do their thaing . |
qstar: You need to define, with illustration, what you mean by intelligence.Ok I get what you mean by intelligence here. No that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about awareness,purpose and obvious intention in the characteristics of created things. Not because the brain has a billion neurons do I see it as a work intelligence. No. But because it was clearly designed for a purpose.did all those parts know by themselves to come together and work together for a united purpose just out of the blues? It seems improbable to me. Such things to me cannot have come out of a mindless event |
What is the said twisted definition of feminism. I may not have heard it. The only twisted definitions I hear come from the opposers who try cheap emotional blackmail to paint the movement back. Like saying it's man-hating Or anti christain Or anti family. And all the other unfounded stuff that don't even find place in the simple definiton of it. I've always only known one definition and try to correct any erronuous one I come across. If you can enlighten me how 'we lot' twist this definition. Maybe I'll get where you're coming from. Idowuogbo: Eeemmm... do you want to hear the truth? U lot on nl do the opposite of the said movement. Y'all twist the real definition of feminism to favour y'all and then go about town crying when the 'rats' rush in to reign on your parade. Abi no b d same family section we dey? iLaugh |
@ pickabeau. The histroy of feminism? Na. I know every bit of what I need to know about it. From as far back as the 7th-9th AD when women used to conduct secret classes for girls because education was not allowed women To when the movement began again after the second war for women to be included in the voting laws. To when the movement was able to achieve the motion for women to own property. To present day where the basic goals have been achieved in the west but still lacking here in my dear country. (Which BTW makes women who kick against feminism appear cowardly.) You can chose selectively what you want to see as the goal or who you want to call the real feminists. But it doesn't change the truth. |
What goals? Read the op again. Or google feminism. Or read the part of areacode's post that I quoted. Those are the goals. If you've been convinced otherwise discard the former. There's no need to carry anything for head. The movement if going fine and smooth. You carry something on the head when it can't move by itself. Or you too follow for those who see feminism as man hating? Is there something you're not telling me Idowuogbo: Loretta,which goal? u too carry this feminism thingy for head. Is there something you not telling your home gals? |
The lady is not hiding her identity ![]() troy20: cococandy really...a change of monicker for someone so familiar. |
@ areacode Men and women do not differ qualitatively per intellectual potency, let's instead focus effort on eliminating the social barrier unconsciously stacked against the girl right from the womb, monthly menstrual stresses notwithstanding.Your post was quite on point. And unlike some men I'm glad you understand that feminism isn't about competing with men or over shadowing them. Nor does it even see womanhood as weakness. But that the goal of feminism is summarized in that part of your post in quote. |
Where did you buy your mat? Buy one for aluta. Hers got swept away ![]() edwife: cococandy Nne you are on fire today,two threads?Sophyrocks stop that bikonu |
pickabeau1: How convenient that women are not sexist.. |
Very good. Pls don't go back to him. Someone who beat u black and blue at 8months pregnancy can kill you. An armed robber can kill. Don't listen to your mother and your MIL. I'm sorry to say African females palce too much premium on marriage. They can advice you to go die in marriage rather than be a single mom. That's how the judgemental and harsh society has conditioned most of us.. No marriage or man is worth dying in/for. Yours is fine that you're not even married yet. So pls nothing holds you there. When he's out of prison he can visit his child if he wants(that's if he can manage to not commit another crime that will take him back to prison) Find something positive to do with your life,love and care for your child and before long you'll be happy you left him. The lord is your strength. MojAyo: tanx dear,I heard all what u said,his mum is planning on how to send money for him for his release vry soon,cos he was sentenced to 2years imprisonment,my mum and his mother want us to come back together,I knw what I went through when I was still in sa with him,even when I was 8months pregnant,he beat me black and blue,telling me he dnt want me or the baby,dats its better d baby comes out now,even the head of d baby can't pray for him ,I think dats why his life is so worthless now,and also what he did to me re now reflecting in his life now, he called me today dat I'm there enjoying in nigeria,and he is suffering inside a prison here,I told him dats what he choose to do in his life,then he said I should never call him again,what am I even calling in him,a useless irresponsible person,I thank God dat God remove me frm his problem |
@ qstar. Convincing points you put up there. But I don't agree with the complexity being confused for intelligence part. That's simply not true. |
Apatheist: I'm sorry if I was getting argumentative.. ![]() |
@timmy2409. I've read your post. Lol @ pink unicorn ![]() Let me take the stand of the article you posted as your stand. Heavy points in there and worthy of consideration by any open minded christain. But all of that only tries to negate the existence of the christain god. It doesn't necessarily prove that there is no God at all. Does disproving the existence of the christain god disprove the existence of God in general? All over the world people believe in all sorts of gods. What that article says is the christain god can't be true. Is that what you're saying too? I take yes as the answer to that. So have you looked at other religions and tried to understand 'their gods?' Or do you choose not to believe just because? |
Apatheist: yes, I told you before, intelligent design is plausible. But that doesn't mean that it was designed by the deities of religion, for all we know we could be a project of an alien child. this is an interesting POV. Why hasn,t anyone thought of this before now?But we are getting argumentative. That's not what I want. So I'll back pedal here and listen to what you have to say henceforth. |
Hahaha. It is funny because I know religion for what it is. There's nothing to lose. As for my belief in God. I haven't seen any reason not to believe. All the reason I see point to his existence(that's my belief anyway) qstar: @cococandy. |
