ow I thought was just affecting me alone

[quote author= GloryIsaac post=57766915] It's quite simple but it takes time and patience to master it... the secret is to create an air of suspense, react differently to the way you normally would in the same situation, it keeps the offender tensed b'cos this time around, he/she doesn't know your next move unlike before when he/she could predict everything you would do......

Thanks,

I was a victim of bullying back in high school, the bullies just wouldn't stop, they would purposely hit me or run with my stuff just b'cos they derived joy in seeing me jump and cry in anger , with time i changed my tactic, no jumping or crying, just smile or laugh (though i was burning inside)... this really put them off, they often wondered why i ain't crying and cursing them again (though whenever opportunity arose to deal with them, i did it perfectly ), with time fear began to creep in (no one likes dealing with maniacs), bullying didn't end but it reduced drastically.........

,

Same goes for friends, you don't get to respond to everything they say or do, that way they're kept on their toes...
You only react how they want if it's in a positive scenario e.g they get you a cake for birthday etc.

All right

Creating an air of suspense can be a dangerous game especially if you're surrounded by very smart people though so once in a blue moon, deliberately react how they want.....

Hmmmm,

My view of trying new things depends on what those things may be.

My guy....in a lot of places and situations...women a discriminated against. In the African cukture.... even the first world is not "unguilty"of this. This appears in different forms and degrees in different cultures....take for example Saudi Arabia where women until recently are not allowed to vote or drive a car.
Even America allowed suffrage just close to the middle of last century.....so its an ingoing process. You can liken it to the black American situation before The civil rights activism pushed back segregation to an extent.

these rights won't be given without activism and some form of resistance or some form of affirmative action(ministry of women's affairs like you mentioned)
Sanusi said something sometime ago to the effect that; a society that fails to harness the potential of its female population and restricts them to domestic capacity, will achieve half its potential because half of its population is redundant.
Personally I won't raise a daughter with the mindset the OP operates from. I will never give her the chance or treat her to think of herself as a lesser form of human. I will teach her to respect everybody and demand respect as well.
teach her not to be apologetic about being intelligent.
Teach her to pursue her dreams and aspirations no matter how non conforming to the patriarchal expectations of the society.

Mindfulness:
Women (and men) have struggled to make it possible for women to study whatever they choose to, to work, to acquire properties, to have the right to vote, to participate in politics and to express themselves freely and this nonsense girl here comes and tries to school us about sagging breasts probably not even knowing what the law of gravity is.

Mtcheww!

Why have I even opened this thread on this beautiful day?

The more shameful part is that it is even a debate in the first place.

In this day and age, if a person above the age of 15 and has passed Junior High (JSS) is arguing against gender equality (usually because they have unashamedly failed to grasp the faintest idea of what it is about), it paints a rather grim picture of how far off the mark we are as a nation.

It's not like it was ever that encouraging, but at least girl child education isn't a taboo topic anymore, and one would reasonably expect that normal, functioning adults know a teeny-weeny bit about gender equality, it's relationship with girl child education, and why the world's future rests on progressive stances like gender equality and equity, resource sustainability, increased tolerance et cetera.

Many of the comments I see here are statements I'd expect from ret*rded folks, unambitious dropouts, religious f*cktards, men who have failed in ife (and need to mudsling others to feel better about themselves), or privileged egoists. But you'd be surprised about the standings of many of the commenters on here and how they are a bitter reflection of the society.

Just walk into any random eatery and bring this issue up, you'd be surprised about the similarity between the contributions you receive and the comments you read here.

And it is particularly nauseating that a forum run by a self-acclaimed progressive atheist would actually promote a non-religious position that would never stand in any rigorous academic debate in any of the world's top 10,000 institutions for discussion, never mind the ridiculous balderdash that made up the OP.

Am I disappointed by the comments I read on here, absolutely not, many Nigerians redefine stupidity with their opinions that are about as factual as the Santa Claus myth. But then, did I expect to see the kind of promotion this thread gets, not likely. I read through this thread in one of my recent forays in the Romance section, and decided against commenting because I deemed it a perfect avenue for misfits to throw a pity party about how the world is conspiring against them. And some d*rtbag mod decided it was a party deserving of prime-time.

Unbelievable

Deeldorado:
It's not a debate of whether it will be possible or not but an advocacy to improve the prospects of women. The gender gap is too wide ... pay gap at work, the constraints they face in getting employment and growing on the job. The work women do at home are not calculated as part of GDP but if a nanny does it, it is calculated as part of GDP thereby underestimating women contributions to the national economy.

Why for example have we taken it for granted that it is the woman that has to give up her dreams for other siblings if something goes wrong in the family? Why for example, does a woman have to give up her aspirations or 'cut it down a bit' once she is married? Can't we find a balance that allows both a man and a woman to succeed with their aspirations? By doing this, we place a glass ceiling on women and decapitate their capacity to aspire and achieve their aspirations.

The idea is that making progress in achieving equity in economic participation and opportunity and political empowerment will not benefit women alone but will benefit families, communities and the whole country. Women empowerment, for example, is at the heart of the global fight against poverty and inequality.

It is unfair and runs against nature to deny women the opportunity to succeed as well as men just because they go on maternity leave or because of what your religion says or because you want to be 'the man' or just because of things they are not directly responsible for.

We know that we may not be able to achieve gender equality in a practical sense completely because of traditions, cultures and historical legacies, but we can unleash the power of women for development by doing as much as we can to close up the gap.

The argument of whether it's possible or not may not hold water because a lot of countries are already closing this gap - for example, Scandinavian countries and even South Africa, back home.

Emdeejay:
Someone said that many women are sad because the OP sold women out. I am sad because the OP did not realize what gender equality entails. I'll tell you what it means to me. There was a time when women could not vote because they are considered substandard to men. Currently, with every $1 a man earns, a woman earn 83 cents while having the same qualifications. It is even worst in the medical field because the field comprises of the "big boys" and as a woman, it is hard to fit this. Information is rarely shared with me and I have to be assertive for my voice to be heard. Some women are not selected into certain residency because they might want to start a family and therefore at a disadvantage. And as a person in the medical field, I'll enlighten you about boobs. Breasts are mainly made up of fat and not muscle. If you lose weight (i.e fat), your breast will sag. As you age, the breast sags because the structural ligament loses its elasticity leading to sagging. Someone touching your breast doesn't make it sag. And sex does not make vagina loose. I'll go into that but I'm sure you're well read and can read scientific journals yourself. Gender equality is not how often I can have sex with someone, it is about being treated as an intelligent human that can achieve anything if I try.

LordAdam16:
This is the kind of thread that makes me want to throw up inside my mouth.

And it graces the FP?!

What next, we have threads on the FP about why there is nothing like "under-age" in marriage.

Since some people's god told them it's fine and okay to have women consistently play second fiddle to men for some ridiculous reason, and these people are content with throwing around their dipsh*t and attempt to force others to gulp on it; I think it's only fair we extend that courtesy to the other ultra-conservative and utterly asinine group that say their god permits them to romp with 12 year olds.

The bar just keeps getting lower on NL, just when you think it can't fall any further.

cc Seun

I'm not going to direct any attention to the OP. He (I strongly believe she is a he) can keep grasping at straws, we'll always have their kind around, being perpetually stuck in the medieval dark ages.

Natural selection would do its thing, as they and their deranged opinions will get consigned to the dustbin of history.
