[color=maroon]64.) THE POWER OF INVESTMENTS AND SUNK COST FALLACY
A story
Jide met Irene and was attracted to her. They talked for a while and he collected her number. After 3dsys he called her and scheduled for a date to rendezvous at an expensive restaurant. He enjoyed his time with her so he started calling her at least twice everyday.

He was the perfect gentleman. Without asking he will send her airtime and gifts. He made sure he did all her biddings. From doing all her biddings as a choice, it gradually became a necessity . On her birthday he bought her a 3step cake. All this while they have not being dating, he didn't ask her out because according to him he doesn’t want to rush things. Whenever she visits him he said they shouldn't sit close to each other, that he respects her.

His friends influenced him to ask her out immediately and boom, she said she just want them to be friends. His friends told him to leave the girl since she doesn’t want to date him but he did exactly the opposite.

He drew closer to the girl and became more like a bestie. He even went further to put her on monthly allowance. He became more nicer and a complete gentleman. The lady even said he was the best guy she had ever had and will not want them to depart.

One day she came to his house and after offering her food, she kissed him. The guy was so happy that he invited her to come back in the next two days. When she came he asked her out again but she still told him she is not ready for a relationship(even though she was single by then).

He was disappointed and started reducing the time they are spending with each other. She noticed and started reminding him that he neglected her. He still stayed away from her due to his friends advice.

In a short while she started dating another guy, he felt bad because the new guy is not as financially buoyant and nice as he is. He started getting close to her again. This time with the motive to snatch her from the guy. The result of his closeness with the girl caused problem between her and the boyfriend and they eventually broke up(he suspects she was cheating on him).

Jide became very happy that at last he will get to date this girl. He decided to give her 2weeks to recover from the break up so he can ask her out. After 2weeks, he asked her out only for him to hear the greatest shock of his life. She is already dating another guy.

The guy cried,and was busy insulting the girl calling her ungrateful and wicked. She broke his heart multiple times even though they never dated. That was when he decided to finally leave her.

The question is, why hasn’t he leave her all this while until now. This is because of SUNK COST FALLACY.

[color=maroon]Ever wondered why your friend or a post on Nairaland Romance section in which a guy or lady will narrate how bad their partner is to them. They will tell you the partner is abusive or manipulative or cheats on them But you will still wonder how comes the victim is not ready to leave that partner.

Well, this is due to the power of investments and Sunk Cost fallacy. [/color]

TheUndercover:
Of course! Even if he claims to be male, his reasoning is same as female, no offence! The best thing to do is to ignore him/her and stop quoting him/her.

When the person behind the moniker learns to read to understand not reply then maybe we can give him/her the attention he/she seeks. SMH. He/She will learn when the time is right (Sarcasm).

When morpheus was talking to neo in the matrix, he told him there are those who enjoy being in the matrix and will fight or die for it.

I will not be surprised if it is actually a male.

Instrumentalng:
I guess that person is a girl hiding under the male account
Women I know how they reason
Only a man wey woman never do something
De talk like that

That was something i was suspecting.

You guys should stop responding to Sibtygarr he is here to argue not learn

Get ready to be attacked by NL ladies

Shittu

Joyun1q:
Was in the hostel... Uniben... Ekosodin to be precise... They collected our phones and laptops and one of them was looking as if he wanted to rape us when boys rushed into our room and apprehended them.... It would have turned bloody if not for the fact that those dumb motherf**ckers carried a faulty gun to operate..

They were beaten well that day lol

Mehnnnnn you guys were lucky

Downside of feminism
According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, Feminism is defined as the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.

In recent times, the feminist in our society are not after equality but are going for supremacy. The same people that complain of men supremacy and now trying to dominate men.

Supremacy is the state of having more power or authority than someone else. Feminist statements now depict females as rulers and males subject to their leadership.

The younger generation is now absorbing it as the norm.

Feminists organizations continue to push for more legal, economic, and political rights for women, such that people are beginning to insist that the women's movement has destroyed the family and advocate for women to return to domestic lives centered on family nurturing.

No matter how feminist try to argue, women are biologically capable of taking care of children and people more than men that's why they are better nurses. Men are biologically stronger and thus better providers.

I rest my case[/color]

[color=maroon]A BRIEF HISTORY OF NIGERIAN FEMINISM

The explicitly feminist movement in Nigeria finds its roots in WIN (Women in Nigeria), an organisation, which was founded in 1983 with a clear agenda to establish an “ideologically feminist movement” in the country. WIN has since been replaced by the Nigerian Feminist Forum (NFF) in 2008.

Today. organisations such as Afri-Dev Info, The Nigerian Women’s Trust Fund, Coloured Africa and As Equals Africa are emerging as pronouncedly feminist platforms.

Books from authors such as Chimamanda Adichie, Molara Wood and Ayobami Adebayo have had a significant influence on the Nigerian feminist narrative.

Moreover, like everywhere in the world, new technologies play a significant role in contemporary Nigerian feminism through the nternet via blogs, forums and social media esp twitter. The Me Too hashtag had also had a strong impact.

July 2020 saw the formation of feminist coalition (a group of young Nigerian feminists formed in with a mission to champion equality for women). As of October 22nd they have ₦87. 4 million.

Genevive is a loyal donator to the feminist Coalition.

Guys just get ready, in the future all those simp laws in the western world might take place in Nigeria. [/color]

Dsimple:
I got married to this lady on 3rd December 2016 in Jos, plateau state. We were both staying together until she decided to absconds from my house on May 29th 2019. She gave birth to 'our son' on 1st February 2018.
Although I can term the marriage as marriage of convinience where both of us are never happy staying together and I became the happiest man on earth the day she left even though she stole a lot of my properties while I was away for work including my ATM card and withdrawing every money from my bank account.
I reported it to her mother and her mother was threatening me with jail terms if I don't produce her daughter. Meanwhile, her dad is late even before we got married. I never knew that her mom 'rented' people to stand in for her late father claiming they are her father's family members not knowing that her father's people have since cut off the relationship between them since the issues of inheritance came in because her mom doesn't want to share a dime with them.

Fast forward to few months ago, although she don't pick my calls but we do chat occasionally on whatshapp where she has been telling me that her 'son' is not mine. The last time she said that was the third time she will be saying that.
Now I really want to know the options I have, kindly assist with valuable information if you are in the know, a lawyer preferably.

Note:

She is now in Lagos with her mother and I really don't know the exact place. When I visited Jos where the marriage took place, I found out that they've sold their house there which is now a hospital.

I really want to know if truly I'm not responsible for the birth of the boy and if he's truly my son, I can't continue to trust him on her.
If otherwise he's not mine, I believe there should be a form of punishment for infedelity while under marriage contract. Besides, I think I deserve to be fully compensated for all the time we were together, the money she stole, the care I gave her, the nursing of her pregnancy, the monies I do transfer to her mother and siblings, the monies I spent in marrying her, her clothing and shelter while we were together etc.

Kindly advise, criticisms are also welcome.

Thanks.

Mehnnnnn. This your story is disheartening. Your Wife and her mother played you big time.

You mean without your consent she carted away with your properties and ATM card, withdrawing anything she want? Wow that sounds like a predatory female to me. I think she has been planning this all along.

For you guys to be in " marriage of convinience where both of us are never happy staying together" as you said, there is high probability that the child is not yours. However only a DNA test could ascertain that 99.9%.

It is not a must for you to get and her and the son. Forget about them now since she ran away from you. Sometimes you have to move on with life.

PhillipPHD:
She’s the business minded, independent, objective, strong woman when it comes to her business, her money and what benefits her.

The same woman becomes the damsel is distress when it comes to your money and what benefits you.

She’s a chameleon, she doesn’t give favours but makes use of bottom-power to get favour.

Kings don’t be deceived. She has no mercy on you, likewise she doesn’t deserve mercy from you.

Plead:
Rubbish points. Rubbish thread.

Wow! thats nice of you. You contribution have being duly noted and thrown to the trash can.

[color=maroon]The Greatest shit-test in human history to men is feminism. However, men failed the big test showing that they are weak. Now many men have been emasculated. [/color]

[color=maroon] How we believe

So how does one believe?
Either via delusion, or because upon evaluating a thing you find it to be rationally compelling. Empirical proof is an often sufficient, but ultimately unnecessary condition for generating belief.

On the topic of scientific proof, science often disproves things, but rarely does it actually ever prove anything.

This is because it is a negative epistemology, its propensity is to disprove by trying to invalidate a claim, not prove a claim. And so when one looks to form beliefs in solidifying their understanding of the world, science at its sincerest can only tell people what not to believe, rather than what to.

To believe, something must be a near certainty, and science specialises in creating doubts, not providing assurances. [/color]

[color=maroon]As a corollary to why people believe in things, they likewise often disbelieve things because they are either:

A: unlikable, B: unrelatable, C: thought improbable or D: conclusively disproven.

So often when one is asked for a citation, condition A of their reason for dismissing your premise is superficially conflated with condition D as a means of rejecting your claim and thereby dismissing you with minimal effort.

The request for scientific evidence is not an earnest one, but rather a means in and of itself to dismiss your claims .

If you actually provide evidence, such a person will look for a flaw in the study as proof of invalidation and therefore maintain their dismissal over the pursuit of truth.[/color]

[color=maroon] The Fallacy

People adopt viewpoints because they are either :

A: likable, B: relatable, C: thought probable, or D: conclusively proven.

As such, empirical evidence is a sufficient, but unnecessary condition to generate belief.

The citation needed fallacy suggests the individual will only hold beliefs that fulfil condition D to the exclusion of all other conditions.

This is false, but is asserted as such because the individual asking for the citation doesn’t like the premise put forth.

For example, if you say "all women are like that" the person will challenge what you say telling you to bring evidence. Even if you are to bring evidence it will still be dismissed because the person does not like what you said. [/color]

[color=maroon] Absence of evidence cannot be evidence of absence



TRP constitution is built on reasoning, it aims to be compelling enough in its rationality to prompt the reader to think with greater rigour and criticality.

As such, requiring citations whenever one asserts a viewpoint implies an absence of evidence is evidence of absence, and further implies that the individual dismissing a set of claims based on the absence of empirical evidence does not themselves hold beliefs that aren’t deductively valid.

In practice this is untrue, and nothing more than a lazy way to refute premises one finds distasteful, for it is not the genuine nature of people to form beliefs solely on the basis they are backed by empirical evidence.[/color]

[color=maroon]It is quite hilarious when ‘bluepillers’ and red pill critics alike think that the red pill is wrong by the merit of being unproven, they irrationally conflate the state of being “unproven by scientific study” as being “disproven by the absence of scientific study” this is fallacious thinking.

Ultimately the absence of evidence means that something has neither been proven nor disproven.

When you corroborate many similar observations across a vast cross-section of the population from multiple cities and nations of similar culture, plausible sentiments start to overwhelmingly present themselves as ideas which demand respect regardless of whether the science will confirm or deny such observations.[/color]

[color=maroon]63.) CITATION NEEDED FALLACY



Much of the theories within red pill philosophy is based upon social observation. It is not completely unsubstantiated and made-up, sure alot is subjective and not subject to scientific rigour, many things are not, we don’t all exist in an educational establishment.

It is simply ignorant to deduce that if an idea does not stem from academia, that it is not credible and is to be immediately disregarded, I see this arguments from authority all the time from people on Nairaland, Reddit, social media etc (detractors).

Many times someone with an above average ability to argue the semantics out of something will come and concludes with bigotry that in the absence of evidence the hypothesis must be false/incorrect.

The irony to this is, science sets to either prove or disprove the hypothesis but claims no certainty until either has been achieved, these people use the absence of scientific proof to say the hypothesis must be wrong, this is a hasty generalisation, as there is no proof here to say these things are wrong and the scientific method has not debunked them as much.

[color=maroon] Postfeminism

Institutionalising feminism is like institutionalising a cult, it is subjective, intellectually dishonest and inconsiderate of those who do not follow, conform or otherwise abide to said belief system.

The term postfeminism is used to describe a range of viewpoints reacting to feminism since the 1980s. The term was first used to describe a backlash against second-wave feminism.

Postfeminists say that feminism is no longer relevant to today's society. Dorothy Chunn notes a "blaming narrative" used by feminism where feminists continue to make unnecessary demands for gender equality in a "post-feminist" society, where "gender equality has (already) been achieved."

A quite number of Women are coming out to criticize feminism. It is not as innocent as it claimed to be. [/color]

CosmicPhoenix:

I have watched it,that's not cuppy

Whoever it is.
It is an example to drive home my point.

CosmicPhoenix:

that second photo is not DJ Cuppy,it's someone else.

And what makes you sure of that, haven't you watched the video?

[color=maroon] Fourth-wave feminism
Fourth-wave feminism refers to a resurgence of interest in feminism that began around 2012 and is associated with the use of social media .

According to feminist scholar Prudence Chamberlain, the focus of the fourth wave is justice for women and opposition to sexual harassment and violence against women .

Fourth-wave feminism is "defined by technology", and is characterized particularly by the use of Facebook , Twitter , Instagram, YouTube , Tumblr , and blogs such as Feministing to challenge so called misogyny and further gender equality .

Issues that fourth-wave feminists focus on include street and workplace harassment, campus sexual assault and so called rape culture.

Examples of fourth-wave feminist campaigns include the #YesAllWomen , Free the Nipple and the notorious #MeToo movement.

However, quite number of women used #Me Too to destroy a lot of men via false rape allegation and false sexual harassment cases. [/color]

[color=maroon]
Feminism Stand point theory
Standpoint theory argues that research and theory treats women and the feminist movement as insignificant and thus sees traditional science as biased.

Since the 1980s, standpoint feminists have argued that the feminist movement should address global issues (such as rape, incest , and prostitution) and culturally specific issues (such as female genital mutilation in some parts of Africa and Arab societies , as well as glass ceiling practices that impede women's advancement in developed economies).

Violence against women , including rape, domestic violence, and sexual harassment, became a central issue.

Other issues
Third-wave feminism also paid attention to workplace matters such as maternity-leave policies, motherhood support for single mothers by means of welfare and child care , respect for working mothers, and the rights of mothers who decide to leave their careers to raise their children full-time.

More of celebrity dressing. See they way the girl in the first pic almost display her genitals. .

Men have suffer. See they way we are being teased.

DJ cuppy accidentally exposed her genitals to the public allegedly

Post-feminist women: our Celebrities today.

Notice how they go public without wearing bra and panties.
Example kim Kardashian, rihanna, ciara, etc

Pre-feminist women : Before the 1960s

[color=maroon] Third wave

Third-wave feminists often focused on " micro-politics " and challenged the second wave's paradigm as to what was, or was not, good for women, and tended to use a post-structuralist interpretation of gender and sexuality.

The 3rd wave feminist accused second wave feminism of ignoring groups such as women of colour and transgender women, and was instead, focusing on white, middle class, cisgender women.

Third-wave feminism also contained internal debates between different feminists. Some believe that there are important psychological differences between the sexes. Others believe that there are no inherent psychological differences between the sexes and contend that gender roles are due to social conditioning (that men and women are thesame) .

Reproductive rights and sluttiness
One of third-wave feminism's primary goals was to demonstrate that access to contraception and abortion are women's reproductive rights.

Third-wave feminists wanted to transform traditional notions of sexuality and embrace "an exploration of women's feelings about sexuality that included vagina-centred topics as diverse as orgasm, birth, and rape".

The use of the reclamation strategy became a hot topic with the introduction of SlutWalks(women wallking naked) in 2011 in response to a Toronto police officer's remark that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."

Many third-wave feminists supported the idea that women should embrace their sexuality as a way to take back their power.
To feminist slutty dressing and being promiscuous is equivalent to female empowerment. [/color]

[color=maroon] There was a reason for Traditional roles

Male promiscuity was long considered normal and healthy as long as masculinity was maintained, associated with being the penetrating partner. On the other hand, female chastity was required for respectable women, to ensure the integrity of family bloodlines(Paternity Assurance).

Perhaps other cultures understand it is the evolutionary and biological imperative of men to “spread their seed” and that male infidelity means very little to men emotionally. It almost never means he doesn’t love his wife. However, when women cheat it almost always means she doesn’t love her husband.

Hook-up (fling) culture is a direct consequence of the “sexual revolution” which feminism sparked, ignited and proclaims so loudly to be proud of.

The notion that female promiscuity should be untamed and socially acceptable can still be seen even today with feminisms efforts to normalise female promiscuity via campaigns such as being “anti-slut shaming”.

However, encouraging promiscuity is not only putting one at sexual risk via the prevalence of sexual disease, but is psychologically unappealing to a man looking to seriously build and create something with a woman for the long-term, thus damaging her own long-term chances at attaining happiness with a suitable suitor( a self-inflicting irony).

A potentially deadly legacy of the sexual revolution was the increase in occurrences of sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, and herpes. (AIDS was first discovered later in 1981.)
