Popped in once or twice yesterday and was mock-horrified to see two people about to electronically break each other's heads into smithereens ....was sorely tempted to butt in to ask for nokia pin-charger

5minsmadness:

When the chips are down and man is faced with the harsh realities of survival once again, the truth of who the head is will always come out. Then phrases of "women and children first!" will be heard above the chaos. And you can bet no one will raise her hand at that moment to say "No! Let us be saved equally for I am a feminist."

Taaa!! How do you know? U don ask dem first?

Dygeasy: One question for the women,

how far about gender equality? We still dey?

okay two questions.

Taaahh!! You be bad market for those NL feminists oh... ...you wan' make dem clobber you??

carefreewannabe:

You talk like the white Christian missionaries, did it ever cross your mind that not everyone is a Christian?

Hehehe ...Lol at the first statement.

Yeah, I know that not everyone is a christian, dear.

Remember; about 3 posts ago, I think; when answering what I laughing called your "recruitment questions", I gently remarked that I wasn't sure if you were one or not.
But since you were talking about my own personal standpoint on feminism, I had to answer you based on same, after reflecting; and even going through the bother of a little additional research on feminism.

Cheers dear.

carefreewannabe:

So you are following Christian beliefs even though some pastors bleep little children but you condemn feminism because, like Christianity, it also has some bad eggs?

Interesting.

Yeah, interesting, innit.

I am following christianity. God, and His Word. Which trust me; has just reward for wrongdoers, paedophiles inclusive.
God holds everyone man responsible for his/her actions, good or bad. Man messing up doesn't change God's Word one whit.

Said it before in my last post: Feminism is a doctrine set up by people who think they know better than their creator.
That's the difference...bad eggs in both camps or no, if I would choose; I would rather follow the ideals/doctrines/laws of THE CREATOR, and NOT those his often rebellious and sometimes confused creation,

TV01:
[b]Should women be afforded the same rights, opportunities and choices as men? Certainly, I don't believe anyone seriously contests that. Or believes anything to the contrary is discriminatory, unfair and plain wrong.

Does that make me a feminist? Or make me appreciate a need for feminism? No. Absolutely not. I'm a Christian, and two thousand years ago when wives where still considered their husbands chattel in most societies, the gospel brought emancipation and equality for women.[\b]

"All equal in Christ" it proclaims - equal in value, equal in worth. "Husbands love your wives" it exhorted. Radical, revolutionary and even today beyond the comprehension and grasp of of many.

[b]But the Bible is didactic regards the innate differences, unique gifts, biological imperatives and complimentarity which, if ordered properly leads to human flourishing. Feminism in it's insistence that men and women should be treated the same misses most of this, and can only lead to fractured societies if given it's head. This is already evidenced in nations where feminism has taken root

It's instructive that the even the chieftest of our feminists on NL made sure they married/partnered with men of higher status and are happy to submit to them. That is a biological imperative that is undeniable - women are loathe to mate with males of equal or lesser status. On that basis alone, it's utterly absurd to think that women really want "equality as in sameness".

The feigned quest for parity in promiscuity and the right to kill the unborn as a matter of convenience is just straining, as well as nonsensical at best and pure wickedness if truth be told.

Feminism today is not about equal rights and it wasn't feminism that kicked off the struggle for, or delivered those rights in the first place. Christianity did .

I've touched on what I refer to as "the deal" before. Men and women come together to create families. This is best done with the understanding of the biological imperatives and uniqueness that makes us a complimentary whole, and leads to strong families and flourishing societies.[/b]

So, whilst I'm all for equal choice, rights and opportunity (not that I necessarily believe that "equality" in and of itself means the best for society - but I wouldn't want to force my perception), if anyone can show how these and the push for free sexual expression and unilateral reproductive rights for women,along with "sameness", enhance "the deal",, I'll convert to feminism - the radical kind sef !


TV

^{**Please, could someone explain the notion of "gender" to me? The only binary I am aware of is the male/female sexing of human beings. I see gender atly with sex and essentially a redundant term or one used to pervert natural order**}

A gazillion-trillion likes!! !!!!
Chop knuckle!!
Your head is VERY dia!!

carefreewannabe:

Next time provide the source for your quotes. I can create a webpage at any time and claim that the USA are about to invade Nigeria. Anyone can claim anything online.

First and foremost, make una dey try open eye read posts well.

I did state clearly in my post that I got those quotes from the net, AND I posted the reference for ALL I wrote, RIGHT after the quotes.[\b]

carefreewannabe:
[b]So because there are some bad eggs, the whole movement and ideology is wrong? Like really?

If this is so, stop going to church because priests are bleeping little children, boys and girls. There are some evil Christians, why not condemn the whole religion?

Then do not forget church leaders who bleep children when you next go to church.

Too bad, Christian leaders bleep children.
Your choice but don't forget man of the Bible bleep little children. Feminists are men-haters and Christians are paedophiles.

Cheers

Same old stones, my dear. Same old stones.
You still don't get it. I am NOT following MAN. I'm following GOD.
Man, even christians, would sometimes mess up and disobey God's Word.

Na dem I face? Capital NO.

Which is why; people who hero-worship men of God, or follow them blindly without cross-checking what they say/do with God's Word; would always stumble.

That a pastor soiled himself is no reason for me to stop being a christian.

Its not the pastor I'm following. Nahhhh.

The Ideologies/doctrines of Man(generic term used here), set up by Man , who sometimes erroneously thinks he knows better than his creator; may be very, very wrong.
[b] So in that vein, if I had to choose between an ideology set up by man, feminists in this case; the sum total of which goes against God's Word; I would say it was wrong, and choose the latter.[\b]

Like you rightly said; MY CHOICE.

carefreewannabe:

You are pro the right to vote for women, pro the education of the female child, pro same salaries for men and women in equal positions and you say you are not a feminist according to the following definition?

Feminism = the belief that women should have the same social, political and economic rights

This thread really is tired, and besides my popcorn haf finish

But I really feel I should reply your post comprehensively.

That definition is very incomplete- a screensaver.

"One of the main problems with “feminism” is that it exploits the legitimate claims of equal rights as a cloak to usher in its divisive, hateful and neurotic interests. Interests that are plainly anti-male and not at all about equal rights." -Kelly Mac (a woman)

CLARIFICATION:

HERE ARE SOME QUOTES FROM FAMOUS FEMINISTS:

“I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.”  – Robin Morgan, Ms. Magazine Editor

THIS ONE IS CLASSIC:
“To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he’s a machine, a walking Love Machine.”  -– Valerie Solanas

“I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig.” — Andrea Dworkin

“Rape is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear” — Susan Brownmiller

(Chai. ALL men?)

“The more famous and powerful I get the more power I have to hurt men.” — Sharon Stone

“In a patriarchal society, all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give meaningful consent.” — Catherine MacKinnon

“The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race.” — Sally Miller Gearhart

“Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience.” – Catherine Comins

“All men are rapists and that’s all they are” — Marilyn French

“Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.” — Germaine Greer.
http://www.womenagainstmen.com/media/feminism-is-a-hate-group.html

ALL OF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONTAINED IN THAT DEFINITION.

HERE IS MY TAKE, FROM WHAT I RESEARCHED ONLINE:

Feminism is beyond the right to vote and the education of the girl child.
The may have started out with that, but have long ago "lost it" along the way.

Feminists have pure scorn and disregard for the women who CHOOSE to be stay-at-home moms.

Feminists do not recognize the man as the head of the home.

Their doctrine and dogma have added greatly to the dysfunctionality in families.

THIS, THEN; IS MY SUBMISSION:

I Know who I am.

Some silly dictionary does NOT define me.

That label...I don't care for it; it looks NOTHING like me; I do not share in its ideals stated above.

TWO PEOPLE define who I am: GOD FIRST, and then myself. I hope to do him proud with His definition of me. Its a process.

You're a feminist..no wahala.

However, from what I've read from you thus far, it seems you may been looking at the screensavers they have, not the nitty-gritty core ideals of these people. Which is PRECISELY what A. Gonzago tried to point out. I will grant you that allowance.


I don't have to be a feminist to expect fairness.

I don’t have to be a feminist to recognize the incredible value of women.  

I don’t have to be a feminist to feel empowered.  

I was crafted by the Master Creator with the ultimate gifts and abilities to make the world a better place.  

My dear, I don't want to turn this into a religious argument; I don't know if you're a christian, but I am, and its not something I can hide.

Ever heard of Zelophehad's daughters? They were five (5) sisters in the bible who were told they couldn't inherit their father's property because they were women.
They complained to Moses, and God instructed Moses to give them their inheritance; it was their right.

Same bible preaches hierachy and order; man to submit to God, woman to submit to man.

I live by the bible (so help me God), and that bible is at complete loggerheads with the ideals and values of feminists. I did not cook up those ideals, its what I researched and saw.

So therefore; I am no feminist.
QED.

Cheers dear.

THE END.

carefreewannabe:

And I know that you want your mugus to pay for you while you keep your money to yourself.

You are a smart woman

Bwahahaha... ...see this woman oh! Seriously tickled..

No dear, I don't have "mugus." . Giving is both ways na...and you can't love without giving. I can get my partner gifts, just because.
A shirt, a palm slipper..doesn't have to be his birthday. Its just one of those things!


You said, concerning your choice of partner "The keyword here is choice, the choice I wouldn't have without feminism".
Nahh. Your making the choice of a partner you respect enough to let him have the last say, has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with feminism. Feminism wasn't what gave you that choice..every woman has that clear choice of whom she says "yes" to, amongst however many toasters or suitors.
Even the African cultural laws which relaxed enough to allow women do so; relaxed not because of feminism, but because of enlightenment brought about by education and all.

carefreewannabe:

Now answer my questions, please:
Do you believe women should have the right to vote?
Do you believe women should be paid the same salary as men doing the same work?
Do you believe women should have the right to be educated?

...e be like say you dey the feminist HR dept. Na recruitment questions be dis?

Seriously, though..I believe I answered the last 2 questions very clearly in a previous post. I work in naija. In a male-dominated field. I receive the same pay as male counterparts on same grade. Of course I believe in educating the girl-child...am I not one?

We already have the right to vote, as we should.
So what is the problem gan-gan, of the feminists?
As of TODAY's WORLD, I sincerely believe its beyond wanting equality, as is claimed.
Today's developed world has moved beyond equality....
Now it seems its domination they want.

And that; is where they are meeting with resistance.

Kay17:

You are incredibly da.ft. Your reply was badly written without any form of arrangement or order.

The trick below is what you are trying to use abi?

*unfazed, bursts out laughing, continues eating popcorn...*
its not "werking" for you, dear.

carefreewannabe:

I also think it is a pity Africans have nothing to present that other may want to copy.



If you stand by what you said here then you are a feminist.



No sensible person, feminist or not, disputes the fact that some people are more qualified to do some certain jobs than others. This is not what feminism is about.




Economic, political and social equality, is there any problem with it?



This is a very bad example. Have you given birth, yet? Anyway. We get maternity leave to recover from birth and to breastfeed. It is due to biological difference, which feminism is not about.



Once again, what you fail to understand is that feminism is not about biological differences.



I see the confusion in your post.

You confuse economic, social and political equality with physiological differences.



I am a feminist and my partner has the last word in our relationship in a case in which we cannot reach a compromise. Surprised, huh?
Do you know why? Not because some medieval scriptures tell me to submit or because he has got a pe. nis and I don't and also not because he has got a fragile ego like most men oppposing feminsts, it is BECAUSE I think that he is very smart and BECAUSE I trust his judgments more than mine.

However, he is confident enough to let me take the lead in fields I know more about.




What is the point? What does it have to do with feminism?



You oppose something you actually support but you are unfortunately to confused to notice.




My boyfriend swaps sides with me when we walk by the road and I apreciate it but I will still keep one eye on him in this situation because I care about him and fel the need to look after him the best way I can. And as much as I want him to protect me, as much do I wish to protect him too because he also is just human.



Why exactly is he the one to pay if you also work and earn money? Is it not selfish?



Feminism does not force you or your boyfriend to pay or not pay your bills. It is just logical that women should also share the bills when they have their own money. I really do not understand the fuss about it.



How do you know how God designed it to be?

Life and marriage are not a boat in the sea and if you want analogies, there are better ones.



Like I said, you are talking about feminism without getting the idea behind it. I am a feminist and I do not hate men.

Trust me, I lay no claims to feminism. None whatsoever . Don't put me in that box.
That I expect my input at work to be recognised and rewarded accordingly, and very fairly too, goes without saying..and does not make me one.

About my comments in relation to chivalry,lunch/dinner.. paying the bills et al, I was speaking basically with reference/in response to A.Gonzago's article, which is what started off this thread in the first place.
You might want to go back and read it THROUGH, this time...

No confusion in my post. You should recognise mild sarcasm..Obviously when I was speaking about biological/physiological altercations, I was CLEARLY speaking tongue-in-cheek.
. Chai! You people seriously need to lighten up a bit.

Bottom line, I KNOW what I want, and what I don't in my dealings with both sexes.
Not at all confused in any way.
I know the basis and the foundation for MY OWN belief system.
You asked, "how do you know how God designed it to be?"
Trust me, I KNOW. that's all I would say on that for now.

Your partner has the last word in decisions, abi? Even though you have solid input, not so? Which means you made sure you choose someone whom you respected enough for you to "follow". Good for you. That's the smart thing to do, religion or no.

Perhaps you're not a "radical feminist".. na for this thread I hear say una get grade

Anyways...*yawn*...like I said earlier
Let every man do what seemeth good unto himself. That's today's world!

Kay17:

People like you reduce such serious issues into courtship matters. The essence of chivalry in courtship is to charm and attract and nothing more.

To weigh the input and importance of feminism, try to compare the 20 th century with the 19 century and see the difference between the political and social rights guaranteed to women. It is the progress made in the past that you enjoy! The right to education, the right to vote, the right to safe pregnancy and delivery, the right to work. These are taken for granted today (mainly because we don't read history).

Equality is not about biologically altering the man into a woman or vice versa, rather on the basis of rights. That's the argument.

"People like me".... Take all the potshots you want. Pffft. Doesn't change a thing.

Clearly you are a close-minded reader..you read selectively, and see what you want to.
You clearly didn't even fully read my post which you quoted.

And when I spoke about biological alteration, I was clearly speaking tongue-in-cheek.

My responses were more in line with the original article which is the basis for this thread.
HENCE my comments on chivalry!!
You may want to go back to the original article for this thread, and read again. With a more open mind this time.

softsparkyy: @joomiegirl ,You have said it all . God bless you.

Thank you dear.. Amen! God bless you too.
Cheers.

Kay17:

There lies the chauvinist's assumption that women lack intellectual capacity. It is glaring! There is no basis to believe African women are too shallow to scrape a little understanding of feminism. This is the inequality most feminists are against.

My dear, really didn't see anything chuavinistic about his post, nor intellectually derogatory about women.

princefunmi:
A lot of women advocate feminism without actually understanding its full implication - an implication that is a total contradiction of what the woman actually is and what she really wants.

Its one thing to advocate for a stop to the gender segregation many women suffer. Its quite another to advocate for equality. Its against the rules of nature, our very existence itself.

The bald truth is; we africans tend to jump on every western bandwagon that rolls along without fully contemplating the pros and cons.
If the whites think its cool, then we must too? the LGBT issue is a perfect example...I don't condone hate for any reason whatsoever, but what is not good, is not good. Just because the western world thinks its the new "cool"; must we? But I digress.

I agree FULLY. I would lend my voice, and pen and any other thing to advocate against gender discrimination in the workplace; for example.
I believe in merit..irrespective of gender. Educating the girl child. All of that.

BUT It really IS quite another thing to advocate for equality in everything.

Trying to do so is a TOTAL fallacy.

And I believe with all humility that I'm in a position to speak on this matter.

I'm in a field that is predominantly male. About 95% male.
I work hard. I get recognition for my input. As a matter of fact, there are responsibilities that get handed to me by my boss, simply because he believes I'm far more meticulous in those areas than my male colleagues.

But my dear, let me tell you; there are some areas in my field in which even I; would NEVER dream of hiring a female. Areas that require BRAWN.

Areas in which a female can spout till she's blue in the face, but she cannot do what is required...she CANNOT deliver..in those areas!!

Me sef, Ah get muscle? no!

In light of that alone, what equality are we shouting about, really?

How about the men start a campaign AGAINST maternity leave, for example, since we want equality? Why should we get 3 months off, simply because we put to bed?

In the same vein, how bout the women start campaigning for men to start getting pregnant and carrying babies (I'm sure science can somehow arrange that, now)...

We are talking equality now, abi?

Do you see the confusion?

In relationships, the feminist makes it all a dreary power tussle. She wants to be head.
It throws the family system out of whack.
How about protection? Spiritual headship? Leadership, a father figure?

While it is true that some single mothers have done great jobs in raising their kids, those women certainly would tell you it would have been a lot easier if they had a strong, responsible father figure present.

I don't know about you, but I certainly shudder at the way both sexes are said to relate to each other in Finland.

I may be in a man's world, career-wise, BUT I'm no feminist.

I LIKE chivalry.

I EXPECT it.

Sounds crazy, but If I'm taking a walk with a guy, and I'm closest to the road, I expect him to swap positions with me. Yep.
Those little things say a lot...some automatically do it, and some don't. but then again not every man even knows what it is to be a real man, in the sense God meant him to be.
A man should protect his woman, and his children.

If we go on a date, I expect him to pay. Absolutely. It does NOT mean I cannot buy my own dinner.

If once in a while, I say, "hey, let's do lunch--my treat".... ehen, I know I'm paying. And even at that, does it diminish my sense of worth or independence; if he insists on picking up the bill?
I'm not some helpless female.
And yet, I wouldn't have things any other way than what God designed it to be.
BECAUSE and SIMPLY BECAUSE I have my own roles too. And I'm expected to support him. Allow him to be the leader. Of course I have input. But there can be no two captains in one boat.

Bottom-line, i think this dude pretty much summed it up:

princefunmi:
In the grand scheme of things, feminism is potentially destructive to the human society.
The hard bitter truth that everyone fails to accept is that both sexes naturally assume a role much better that the other. Even the purist feminist will agree that some roles are better suited to the man folk than it is to the woman folk and vice versa. So how then can both Genders be equal when nature has already created that dichotomy - that clearly defined line that says this is male and this is female.

That's just the way it is. There is a reason why it has to be the man that would lay down his life to protect his family. There is a reason why there has to be a father figure in a household. There is a reason why under normal circumstances the man is considered the breadwinner in the house. These are just few of the many ways a feminist stance is not only weak but also seriously flawed. The spirit of feminism is borne out of the me-first nature of man and also the spirit of independence that so much pervades the Earth.

freshdude2: These same feminists are the same people who will say "be a man", shuo! Or label someone a woman wrapper. What exactly is this equality they keep harping on about?! I don't seem to understand it. What percentage of equality are we actually going to practise? In what areas because I see a lot of picking and choosing. I'm confused. What do these people want that they don't already have?!

My brother, I really don't know. Seeing as I'm not a feminist. All I see is a lot of man-hating and rage, especially amongst the "radical feminists" or wetin dem call deirselves...
We can talk till we're blue in the face...let everyman do what seemeth right unto him. That is the chaos we live in, in today's world.

Biko, that popcorn don finish?

freshdude2: Coogar, do you remember me saying that feminism in Nigeria is really about female dominance? There is no benefit/privilege I enjoy that a woman is deprived of just because she's female. This whole feminism noise is irritating. They claim they want equal rights but flee with gusto when it's time to take the responsibilities of the crown they so desperately want to wear.

Oho. Especially in relationships/ marriage. Lol @ "flee when its time to take responsibilities..."

Are you minding them? Men have God-given roles; the headaches and responsibilities of which I don't want, thank you very much!
I have enough to deal with in MY role as a woman .
Seriously, though!
And trust me, its NOT all about financial responsibilities!
Feminists want to dominate...doesn't seem to be "werking" for them...

pickabeau1: Sorry.. the writer is male.. i was corrected
I believe some of our feminists dont really understand what the issues are

A lot of the online army just got wind of these ideology and are now more indoctrinated than the whites themselves.
Your points on chivalry are very funny

Ah taya o. Dey want to be oyinbo more than the oyinbos themselves.

I don't even know what the real noise is truly about...

Biko, nyem the popcorn bucket!

An EXCELLENT article. BRAVO!

Yes, apparently she's not Adichie's biggest fan, but the article was in NO WAY hate-filled, contrary to what the self-proclaimed (abi na self acclaimed) feminists think!!
AND the writer is a woman, and is in a fantastic position to write such, given her reality, as she put it.

Sometimes I wish people would read stuff with an open mind.

Adichie should "park well" abeg. She's a talented writer and we are proud of her, but you cannot eat your cake and have it...you want to be a die-hard feminist and u dey whine say dem no help you carry ya bag...are you kidding me.
A femimist expecting/demanding chivalry?
She clearly does not understand the full implications of the ideals and tenets of feminism..which is why this A.Gonzago lady took time out to (hopefully) educate her.

Feminism...taaahh!!

princefunmi: I'm usually at a loss when this feminism talks rears head. A lot of women advocate feminism without actually understanding its full implication - an implication that is a total contradiction of what the woman actually is and what she really wants.
Its one thing to advocate for a stop to the gender segregation many women suffer. Its quite another to advocate for equality. Its against the rules of nature, our very existence itself.

I did that when I wanted to just amuse myself..have a really, really good laugh..some people's comments here can make you howl with laughter!

For some funny reason I don't know sef, recently I just decided to log in again...I felt like making a comment on a thread (I forget which one). Luckily I remembered m moniker.

That's how I got back in again o...but I must say, nairaland is addictive!

HFOG:
Oh I see. So what's the story behind ur moniker ma?

Pls No "ma" me oo ...ah be small geh
No story at all, dear. Joomie is just Jummy. Short for Jumoke.
Boring moniker..wanted to use Jayjay which is what my mom calls me, but it was taken and I just used the first alternative that came to mind.
Wanted to change it later but nairaland nor gree
