Family › Re: Is Hitting A Child Really Necessary In Correcting That Child???? by JoeCutie(m): 6:48pm On Mar 18, 2016 |
Rollar: Nevi12 the problem with Africans is our intolerance. We grow up and live under harsh conditions and end up being impatient and aggressive adults. Most of us live stressful lives and we have a way of transferring our aggression to our kids. Take that woman on the bus for instance, the weather was hot, the poor kid was likely tired and the bus was probably stuffy with so many people in it and had poor ventilation. The woman was probably stressed out herself and didn't have the patience to comfort her kid. That's why I always say if people believe beating their children is absolutely necessary, then they shouldn't beat them in the heat of anger or frustration. They should wait until they've calmed down, then let's see how many lashes you'd gladly give your own kid. The truth is that majority of parents beat their kids immediately they err, when the anger is still hot. Parents shouldn't gain pleasure or satisfaction from beating their kids. The idea is to correct them, not make yourself feel better by letting off some steam. I see cases where couples wait for 10-15 years before having a baby, then they end up mutilating the kid in the name of correction. What's with the desperation to have children, only to mutilate them? It just doesn't make sense. Africans are backward in this regard, because most westerners read books on parenting before they have children, so they know what to expect and how to handle their tempers/emotions. But Africans just feel once you're old enough you should have babies and 'figure the rest out' along the way. This is wrong. If you must have children, then you must be prepared psychologically and emotionally. learn to be patient/long suffering. Of course I'm not saying its good to spoil children, its possible to be firm without being savage. If your kid isn't old enough to be reasoned with, then that child should not be held accountable for his actions. If the child is however old enough to know right from wrong and despite how firm the parent is , they still stray, then maybe the parent is not living by example. You can't expect to be a lazy drunkard and have model, industrious children. Awww, I just love this. This is exactly what I've been preaching. Absolutely spot on. Kudos! |

Dorobuccii: lol...debates about gender and inequality typically tip me off. I have been keeping a low profile jawe. I just come here to read comments and then post whenever I am motivated enough to do so. I have been following ur posts and diary so I know what you have been up to 
Back to the topic, racism and gender inequality are actually more similar than you realise. Both of them involve treating a person as inferior due to biological characteristics.
Now the existence of Ministry of Women affairs in Nigeria I believe is just for 'aesthetic' purposes. I still don't understand the function of that Ministry as women stilk go through a lot in the country. On a general note, assigning a separate ministry for women might be very necessary because women are not yet as entitled and opportuned as men in the society. When men and women become entitled to the same political, social and economic rights then we can decide not to assign a separate ministry for women. But until then, it might be necessary. I missed you very much. 
And, I just realized you're a lot more intelligent, smart and informed than I thought. And somehow, you sound like one of them...the feminists, are you? 
Come around more often, will you, please?  |

Dorobuccii: Weaker doesn't necessarily translate to being inferior. Feminists don't claim that women are physically stronger than men or other very apparent differences. The point is that we don't want our differences to translate to inequality. it's just like the racism debate. Blacks are different from whites but that doesn't make them superior. we are all human beings. First off, I must have done really enough to have succeeded in tipping you off to quote me. I don't even know what to say to you, this girl. Where in heaven's sake have you been? What happened to you? I'm quite curious...
Then to the subject in discus, I never considered the physical aspect when I used "weakness". Most men are physically stronger than women, but some women can pull off some very hard stunts that a lot of men wouldn't even dare, that's by the way though.
Moreover, colour and gender can never be ranked the same. The debate about the equality in gender and that of colour are not on the same page, or are they? What's your take on the existence of the Ministry of women affairs, for instance? |

I don't get this whole thing. No matter how we (especially women) try to advocate for this equality in gender, there's always a place at the back of our mind where we all - males and females - have agreed, albeit indirectly, that men are superior.
If you really wanna claim that men and women are (or should be) equal, why do we always drag attentions, unnecessarily, to matters concerning women? Like, say, creating a special sector for women? "Ministry for women affairs" when we don't have any for 'Men affairs'? By so doing, we are saying that women and men are not equal, and by creating such ministries, the society is just looking for a way to pacify women and compensate them, still believing that they are not equal with men. Why not make everything very normal for everybody so as to give room for the whole talks of equality? Like, no special ministries for any of the sexes, no preferential treatments, which to me, is for the weak. It's only the weak that clamour for preferential treatments, little wonder why women are always given such treatments, which suggests that they are the weaker, and in other words, inferior sex. I just want a society where everybody would be seen as, and be treated equally.
I don't know if anybody follows the angle of my own argument? |
