Melvyn11:
Mr man no one is talking about religion here. Tell us how difference in anatomy makes a man and a woman not equal like you claimed in the society.

Melvyn, away from this, I would like to know your opinion on transgender folks.

I personally is as liberal as can be but I personally do not subscribe to the notion of transgenderism.

I'm peeved at people who suffer who I believe to be "acute identity crises" having a free room to cause and inflict irreversible "damage" to their bodies and doctors easily approving these kind of medical procedures.

What's your opinion on this?

BlueRayDick:
Me expatiate on a topic that gives effeminate men and overly emotional women orgasm? I will pass .

Common now Blueray, adhominem??

You're too big for that.
You made a wrongful blanket statement which I'm trying to make you see is wrong or which you already know is wrong, your pride can't let you backtrack so you resort to this.

You said "woke culture is bad and shouldn't be brought to Africa" to which I'm asking you to expand on that statement and you're basically going round in circles. Acknowledge you goofed a little. It's no big deal at all.

A001:
If A = B, A is the same B. A man is different from a woman at the biological level. So they're not equal.

Simple question although you've answered it already.

Man and woman are different biologically, just like Africans and Asians and Europeans are different morphologically, do you think that impugns upon their fundamental basic rights?

A001:
Point to where I said "today's feminists are toxic" in the post you quoted.

You said so at the bolded.

A001:
In modern times, I don't take most feminists seriously.
Today, I feel the movement has practically lost its relevance. Unlike those brave feminists of the past, today's feminists are more or less opportunists.
It's pertinent to point out that men and women are not equal -- and can never be equal. But both should have equal rights.


But today's feminists are mostly toxic women.

People should not be discriminated against based on gender, as proponents of the LGBTQ+ movement aver.

A001:
No, they're not. A simple look at the anatomy of a man compared with a woman's shows they're different.

How does being different corelate with being unequal?

A001:
In modern times, I don't take most feminists seriously. However, the history of feminism is rich and interesting, especially in the US and the UK.

Even as a man, I shared the beliefs of prominent feminists in the US such as Jane Addams, who was a strong advocate for women's rights and played a leading role in the women's suffrage movement in the 20th century. In the past, women were not allowed to go to school, vote, run for public office, and do certain jobs in many parts of the West.

Women like Jane Addams and Susan Anthony fought hard to promote women's rights, and they achieved laudable feats. Over the years, feminism had gone through various phases: first wave, second wave, third wave, and fourth wave.

Today, I feel the movement has practically lost its relevance. Unlike those brave feminists of the past, today's feminists are more or less opportunists.

It's pertinent to point out that men and women are not equal -- and can never be equal. But both should have equal rights.

I support gender equality: Women should have the same access to education, job opportunities, and political representation as men.

Also, I support gender equity: The idea of fairness and justice in the way that men and women are treated, taking into account their different needs and experiences.

These are the good principles upon which the original feminist movement was established. But today's feminists are mostly toxic women.

People should not be discriminated against based on gender, as proponents of the LGBTQ+ movement aver.

If I ask you what your evidence is for the premise you just made that "today's feminist are toxic", you wouldn't be able to justify that statement.

What you should know is that wrongful generalizations like these are what dissidents and naysayers of movements like these, people seeking to halt these kind of advances seek to use as a justification to malign the movement and their goals.

You have just admitted that you agree and admire the successes of the feminist movement, now what makes you think that modern feminism is "toxic" as you've put it?

What exactly is toxic about the feminist movement? The appeal for equal opportunities and equal rights? Or you believe we have already attained that and there isn't any need for it again?

BlueRayDick:
Stop overrating urself. Say we no dey type paragraphs upon paragraphs no mean say we no know wetin to type.

But you still can't expatiate on your position on why you think "woke culture" is bad.
You just threw a weak blanket statement out there which is unlike you.

BlueRayDick:
Baba, I no too get strength for that kind wahala. Woke is Woke

You see how you let yourself join the fray for something you're not adequately suited or knowledgeable about..

It's been easy to shout woke woke woke!!! But people criticizing it barely know what they're criticizing. Because when surgically analysed, their talking points fall flat in the face.

feminism, women having equal rights with men in Nigeria/Africa environment

See ehh, I know how very easy it is to dunk on the "feminism movement" in order to appear cool, to feel fly especially in spaces and environments like these that are predominantly male dominated.
You know, just like a bully who oppresses a weakling to the cheering and ovation of others too timid or unwilling to challenge the bad ordeal.

Maybe a good context or reminder of how far we've come as a society and what the feminist movement has achieved especially in the last few decades for women will rehabilitate this ignorant view of women you have consistently had.

1. Many years ago, women did not have the right to vote not to talk of even contesting for any leadership positions. Today their voices are now heard as equally as men.

2. Women had no say in their choice of marriage. Her family decided for her who she married (still happens in some societies today) but it has largely subsided.

3. A woman who wasn't a virgin was basically ostracized in the society and unmarried in society. Very different from the man. (Still happens albeit in a different form, with the different standards set for men and women who are promiscuous with sex). The man who loves sex with multiple women is called a "player", the woman is called a whore_and a slut_.

4. A woman was basically viewed as a property of the man, such that a father could use his own daughter to settle a debt to someone else.

So you see, the feminist movement over a 100 years have sought to seek for society to acknowledge that they are human beings in their own rights. Capable and conscious 9g making their own decisions.

I pointed out here few days ago, how roles that were traditionally male dominated were being occupied more and more by females. From Police force to military to architects and others. I mean, if you go to the US, you will be shocked by the sheer number of taxi and bus drivers that are female. Roles which in Nigeria is still predominantly male.

This idea of consistently dunking on the feminist movement because they seek equal rights and opportunities is wrong especially coming from black people. Another group that has been largely marginalized by other societies..

It truly pains me when I see black people stump on other minority groups. It displays a lack of self awareness.
In the same US that you're condemning for these movements, black people and women rights groups have fought side by side for emancipation from subjugation but you come to a black society like ours and see the opposite happening.

The feminist movement has been a force for good for women. It has seen to the rapid growth and integration of women into the society. It's unfair that men continue to use them as a punching bag while speaking from a position of privilege.

And lastly it's funny pointing out this irony. Few days ago, many were sounding excited about the prospects of a first ever female governor in Nigeria but today are dunking the movement that enables such.

But come to really think of this, Nigeria, one of the biggest and most prominent country in Africa is yet to have a female leader. Let that sink in and tell you how underprivileged the women in our society are.

seankafor:
those stuffs are already dead on arrival here in Africa

Maybe it's the internet that gives them the temerity to dream

When they log off, they'd face the reality in their various environments

Please what "stuff" exactly are you talking about? What exactly is "dead on arrival in Africa"?

BlueRayDick:
I don’t even know .

But what usually amuses me is Africans born and raised in African societies attempting to copy the woke culture of the west. I just read, smile and move on.

Please can you give an example of this "woke culture" you speak of?

Because from experience, people are barely able to elucidate when asked to define "woke" culture or the meaning of the word itself.

Meanwhile the person being the defended.

GloriousGbola:
better than wishing them dead in a plane crash tho.

Where did that happen?

Demons here are now effectively saying we should stop criticizing our public officials..

The same people who have said the very worst things about public officials in the past.
From calling someone's wife HIV awo to wishing another ones lineage be wiped out.

To calling soludo a "nyash-licker". The same person and people are now advocating for people to stop condemning public officials.

Deadly hypocrites!

Let's pretend as if abike was an igbo or PDP person, these people will maintain this posture.

May we never find ourselves in a position to be defending these same class of ruling elite that has sent this country backwards.

I see that today we are now actively defending corrupt politicians simply because of partisanship.
It is well.

Sharia law in action.

A teen engages in petty theft and his hand is publicly multilated and cut off according to sharia law with people cheering on the barbarity with chants of Allah ahkbur!

The religion of peace.

There’s nothing untoward u will not make excuse for, so far it appears people u don’t like are getting served .

It is well .

I keeping ringing this like a broken record. The person supporting all these rubbishes is far away from the chaos which he's egging on..

Our lives are just chess pieces to these wicked souls who would enable every evil so as just to be entertained with our suffering. I will never stop calling out this blatant act of wickedness and stupidity. I know this evil they support will catch up to them one way or the other.

May God help us.

Spambot done catch theflint for using the word nyyamiiri.

Anyways for those that missed it. He mocked abike dabiri for not acting as her office demands and retweeting tweets that contained the n word "nyamïrì".

Escobar and bin laden about to rule nigeria- pastor ibiyomie.

https://www.nairaland.com/7665046/escobar-osama-bin-laden-rule

A presidential candidate has been MIA for about 2 months. A candidate that has been plagued with health rumors for the better part of 10 years and when he finally emerges, there is evidence of him having undergone or still undergoing medical treatment but some imbeciles_ who have decided to support evil will keep cheering this misnomer soo loudly..

You decide to lose your decency on the alter of partisan politics. Shame on you.

You claim you want the best for this country but you decide to close your eyes and support the very same status quo that has stagnated and regressed the country.

You support a candidate with extremely shady and criminal background. A proven corrupt kleptocrat and a visibly sick and frail leader.

You claim to be religious but you support a candidate whose values are against all the core tenets of your religion. Is that not hypocrisy?

I had to break my haitus.

It's only in Nigeria we'll see people cheering a political leader whose whereabouts has been entirely unknown. Total blackout and of which there has been sufficient reasons to doubt the health status of the person. No healthy democracy will have such nonsense. The press is always supposed to know the whereabouts of the public official. When he finally emerges, we now see evidence of him having received one treatment or the other. Hmm

These people keep taking us for a ride and they do this because they have enablers. Literate and educated enablers who should know better but who are guided by basic primordial sentiments such as religious affiliation and tribalism.

Don't forget that hitler thrived because ordinary masses cheered him on. The Communists in east Germany thrived because ordinary masses offered themselves as useful tools of the state. Decided to be members of the statsi and turn against and snitch against their fellow citizens..

We have the same thing here. But this time by more sinister folks borne out of what can only be called wickedness.

It is wickedness to flee this country because of bad governance and then from a safe distance lend support to the same class of wicked elites that have brought us where we are.. I would say, seek your consciences but I know you guys have none. Just keep cheering on evil, it will definitely catch up with you guys.

BlaqFaze:
SE have the poorest people per area

https://www.nairaland.com/7661590/south-east-highest-number-poor-people#122660967

Whoever did this is a very stupid person.

This is the height of misrepresentation of stats and Infact pedagogical weaponisation of statistics.

This stats is saying there are more poor people per square mile (in other words, land mass). Of course, south east will top this because it is virtually the smallest region of all bia landmass. . Notice how the map is almost in order of physical size of each region. From south east to south south to south west. If this stat for instance was between Russia and Britain. Britain will come out as pooreer just like the south east because the preogative is the physical size of the are. Britain will have more poorer people per square kilometers despite having overall Less poorer people because in Russia the poor are more spread out.


Very stupid stat this is.

Ibime:
Paying a reasonable level of tax is fine until politicians start becoming frivolous with it. Nobody will complain to pay tax to cover emergency services, free education to secondary school, military, infrastructure, healthcare and shelter for the homeless

It's when they start paying stuffs that should be personal responsibility that I begin to vex

eg free school meals for kids when those kids parents can afford to smoke 20 cigar per day. I still dey vex with Marcus Rashford over that matter.

The one wey off me na when Scotland mandate all public bathroom to have free tampons for women and labelled it "period poverty". So you telling me there is a single woman in Scotland that cannot put aside 50 pence from her monthly budget for that time of the month?

As usual, very well said.

Taxes are good, taxes are necessary, taxes are important but the most important factor is how that money is spent.
It's just unfortunate that western countries seem to be a State of extremes. Barely any good compromise between both sides.

raumdeuter:
Thats why they say put your money where your mouth is.

Everything is nice until its time to pay money.
There are certain things the right does that I dont 100% agree with like abortion religion and stuff but I think I love keeping my money more than pontificating about abortion rights or who should worship what

But one cannot detach these things by themselves, republican values represents societal retrogression while on the other hand it can be argued quite rightly that democrat presidents have handled the economy much better than their republican counterparts.

Democrats control and have controlled at least 10 of the 13 wealthiest states in the US for the better part of 3 decades.
California, newyork, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Washington, Maryland, Colorado etc while republicans have controlled only 3 of the top 13 wealthiest states, Texas, Florida and Georgia.

So an argument could be made that recent precedence and history shows that democrats handle economy's better than their republican counterparts.

Bill Clinton remains the only US president in recent history to run a budget surplus. I don't buy this myth that republicans are better with people's money. No! They focus on only the top 10 percent while deserting the remaining 90 percent and that is dangerous for any government or society. It'snt egalitarian.

The implication of this is that blue tick has basically lost it's relevance

You see this yahoo of a thing, everything is falling into place for these boys this year. From AI to this twitter shenanigans, a lot of people will unwittingly be defrauded.

I believe this is a short sighted move from musk borne out of desperation.
Let's see how this whole thing develops.
People are already impersonating some local government accounts.

It would be very impossible to tell which is which.

Theflint1:
The Yoruba version of They're stealing our jobs.

This picture right here is the very reason I spent months calling out hateful rhetorics from people who should know more.

What we're seeing now are the fruits of bigotry and tribalism that has been sown by this evil party.
The next few years are truly pregnant sha.

OasisX:
Dem no born their pápá well. Same Soludo they cook everyday is their hope to get Chude out of mess they put him into now.

They must learn by force sha.

So if I'm understanding this right, you are celebrating the arrest of an ordinary citizen by an arm of a security agency that has been weaponised by the wealthy and powerful?

I thought we were naturally supposed to root for the oppressed?

Don't forget that what you praise today can come back and bite you.

It is unnatural to see people who root for the oppressors against the oppressed but I guess that with the APC, everything is upside down now.

The APC supporters have metamorphosed from the oppressed under the PDP to the oppressors now. Such a pathetic life.
