TV01: Kimoni,
how far? Couldn't respond earlier - normally don't visit weekends. I'll try and summarise;
of the 3 topics I can only touch on NHS; 1. Inefficiencies, possibly due to size - crazy amounts paid to locums and for outsourced services 2. Bloated middle and senior management, who as well as being costly exacerbate innefficency 3. Settlements for malpractice, negligence and ridiculous payoffs 4. Politicisation - by all parties 5. Recession & cuts. 6. Health tourism - not sure, like benefit fraud - which is only 1% of the welfare bill - I feel it's probably minor and unlike benefit fraud, feel it could be easily dealt with.
TV No issues. Weekends should be strictly family time really. Thnx for the points. I dwelt more on nos 4 and some others. When NHS was being funded from the treasury, there were little or no financial issues but once they started PFIs (private participation) noticed that's when the squeeze started. Margareth Thatcher really do una something for UK. But if she didn't, how will financial intermediaries like moi see something to chop  |

TV01: Kimoni,
to sum-up on some other points;
I am all for equality, just not blind to the facts; to wit;
1. Outcomes for actions - even if jointly taken - are not always the same - even if responsibility is. 2. There are real differences - at every level - between the sexes, and we flourish when we understand, appreciate and work to harmonise the complimentarity of our differences. 3. If a critical mass within society eschew traditional norms (particularly around marriage and morality), the consequences will be very damaging.
Single Mothers; Society has traditionally stigmatised single mothers for obvious reasons; 1. It hinders a womans chance of learning and marrying. 2. It typically means a poorer outcome for any children 3. Not least because 60% of single parent homes are in poverty.
Stigma and shame serve useful purposes in society. Now, I am here as an advocate of marriage. I want all to marry - and marry well - including single mothers. Funnily enough, marriage is a prosperity builder - I can personally testify to that.
No gainsaying, apart form the societal cost, single-motherhood does not increase any womans eligibility. I advise women to avoid it and the things that could lead to it.
I advise men to avoid divorcees and single mothers for good reason. Divorcees is mostly scriptural, a woman is bound to her husband until he dies. Widows fine - but not black ones ! Single mums due to the obvious disadvantages and typical make-up of men.
Now I could hail single mothers, tell them they are precious, they are great, they will marry just as if they had no offspring and even that they are "hot-cakes" and spread the gospel of single-motherhood. One thing for sure, It would greatly increase the pool of cheap hits for promiscuous men - only it wouldn't increase the number and quality of marriages + it's not true.
I mentioned feminism, as unbeknown to even it's ignorant adherents, it has percolated to colour pretty much all engagements between men and women. It's why most arguments - including yours - are predicated on "equality", and in such a way as to ignore, instead of appreciate difference.
Hope your paper goes well. I expect credit 0 !
TV I am happy you owned up to the stigmatization, you did exactly what I was thought you would - defend ur stand as against denial, so I quite appreciate you for that. I jumped to the highest heaven when I read your opening statement - TV is all for equality without denying the differences. ..yayyyyyyy The promise land is not far away after all. Henceforth, you only need to back this statement up in subsequent post. On single motherhood, you need to realize that majority did not set out to be single mothers. Infact, the more experienced you are in the game, the less likely you'll become a single mother. I read recently Wizkid babymama saying she became a single mother at 19, her very first sexual experience, she didn't even realize she was pregnant until after 5 months. Now compare her to a 25 year old lady who has carried out 10 abortions, and she got pregnant each time her contraceptives fail. Which would you go for if you were to choose? Some things in life are not really what they seem like. I still don't agree that single motherhood makes you desperate or decrease your eligibility, I honestly don't see any difference between them and any spinster out there. It's your character that matters at the end of the day. I have seen guys running after single moms like kilode. Single motherhood does not decrease, neither does it increase your eligibility. It will only affect a woman when she has been brainwashed by people like TV  or she allows herself to wallow in self pity. Your future is in your hands! I honestly don't know if I preach equality, feminist kind of equality I mean, maybe co-incidentally. I don't practise equality in my home and I see no reason to. If I can eat my cake and have it, why shouldn't I? My husband is the head of the home and we both have our respective roles and responsibilities. This is a pre-requisite for any gathering of humans, innit? But headship comes with lots and lots of responsibilities which I am never shy of pushing to him. Why shall I shy  ~ I don't pay any type of bills ~ I don't pay school fees, the kids don't bear my fathers name, right? ~ I don't even know how much the house rent is and I don't care to know ~ when my car breaks down anywhere, anytime, all I do is call him, tell him my location, pick a cab home, the rest is history ~ when taking a walk together, he walks on the outer side of the road ~ when robbers come (we've had two experiences of this), his headship comes into full play. I go to my children's room, lock the door and we all start praying for daddy from there. At that point, his responsibilities will be to ensure all doors are well locked, all lights off, and necessary calls etc ~ when we go out together, I don't pay. Why the heck should I pay when the head is there?? ~ Peradventure he tells me he is broke, I open the Bible and read my favourite part to him - "a man who cannot provide for his home is worse than an infidel". Trust me, this verse works like magic. Why should I give up all these benefits and so much more? naaaaaa. I'll continue calling him the head and he'll continue providing all these. No modernization in my family. He likes the title and I like the benefits. Like you rightly said, we appreciate our differences. In every other facet of life, should I say I have been lucky not to have encountered gender discrimination? Maybe yes or maybe I just won't allow it. What I see more is women naturally taking the backseat when there is really no need to. Could be due to long years of brainwashing and cultural impediments. I grew up believing that what a man can do, a woman can do better. That quote used to be very popular back in the days and it was my favourite quote growing up. So on a personal level, I have never believed or made to believe I am in anyway inferior to a man. I don't have that mentality and maybe this is where some of my beliefs will align with feminist's(not the extremist like free the nipples o). And this is why I mostly have no issues when their education bothers on women empowerment. And if they wish to extend it to their respective homes, lucky husbands they got. I pass on that level. What I really don't get is why you guys are vehemently against it? I would think they are doing you a favor wanting to share some of your responsibilities. But like I said earlier, I don't know too much about feminism as to understand a lot of intricate issues. On my research papers, hehhehehehe if NL will permit, a distinction won't be a bad idea. |

coogar: brothers in arms!
he advises them to steer clear because majority of single mothers are bitter & they mostly have nothing but horrible advice for young women. their previous experience with men often beclouds their reasoning.
that was what i thought too until i found this section & i saw how single motherhood is glorified. the latent message they pass is a woman is better off without a husband & if she needs a child, she can adopt or find a spërm dönor somewhere to put her in the family way.
embracing her situation is a different thing altogether to glorifying it. simply put....single motherhood is like a driver with a busted tyre and using his spare tyre. yes, the spare tyre would serve its purpose but then it shouldn't be the ideal situation.
i also repeat, you haven't seen some comments on this section where women confidently said men are of no use at all.....as far as they are concerned, a woman on her own can raise her kids better than most happily married couples.
before you say a word, they had already mentioned ben carson or barack obama.......completely forgetting for every ben carson, there are hundreds of thousands of such kids languishing in american prisons or in a morgue!  brother in arms, the Chibok girls needest thou Single mothers are bitter and advise bitterly - empirical evidence or else, you are guilty of stigmatization Single mother is like a driver with a busted tyre...stigmatization  I need to see this thread where women say men are of no use at all even though I am 99% sure they are being quoted out of context |

coogar: TV never stigmatises single mothers - he just puts them in check when it seems they are being glorified. we get it that there would always be marital issues that lead to separation but then it shouldn't be the ideal setting or the default. however, you see some women beating their chests & feigning happiness that single motherhood is the best option. Interesting  Women need to start defending themselves like this too ooo (lessons learnt) It's called stigmatization. When you advise singles to steer clear of single mothers, I don't know what else to call it. No woman is happy being a single mother, the ideal is for both parent to train up a child. But if it happens, she just has to embrace it and move on. That shouldn't stop her life in any way and it's definitely not a minus to her, she shouldn't allow anybody tell her that. In trying to embrace her situation, if it is misinterpreted as her being proud of her situation, so be it. I repeat, no woman will prefer being a single mother to being a happily married wife and mother. If you believe otherwise, show me empirical evidence  |

coogar: i mean the education of wooing, not formal education o!

I for fear naa
exactly! and this is why men are compelled to do try-outs till they are perfect at it. have you ever wondered how some guys are great conversationalists around women & some other guys are dirt-boring you want to hang up the phone after 20 seconds.....the education is the difference. 
Brings us back to square one, men do try-outs, with who naa? Women! Coogar does try-out with Ngozi, them no jel, they part. TV does try-out with Ngozi, it didn't work so they part, Gbenga, Sule, Adamu, Nnamdi all take their turns with her. Eventually, Pickabeau marries Ngozi. Now who is to blame and who should be shamed? My answer - all of them
of course, men are still at risk but the degree of the damage it can cause in women is higher. besides that, men tend to notice the symptoms almost immediately as there's no hiding place in the body of the man.
a woman can harbour gonorrhoea in her body of ages and not notice. she would only know until she infects her partner. if the partner keeps mum about it.....if she gets pregnant, her baby would become blind. Thank you for this. She carries it in her body and transmit it from man to man. Ultimately, it's shared round. Nobody is safe after all |

I can bet my last penny nobody said single moms are more desirable than spinsters. I am sure what was said is that they should not be stigmatized. Is it not the character of the person that matters more than anything else? Is the one who aborted her child better than the one who gave life to the child? As long as you are not a virgin, you have no right to stigmatize a single mom/dad. It is repition of the mistake that I kick against cuz it's no more a mistake, it's becomes a habit eg Tuface |

coogar: there's no double standard anywhere..... men need the education, women do not. before a man can confidently walk up to a woman and chat her up, there must have been several try-outs. so many rough edges until he becomes smooth & sleek with his game. a man is usually the chaser, the woman is his target.
nature designed it that way, it's not our fault!
it's a sin for both genders but the consequences are much more graver for the woman. she's the only one who can get pregnant & the one more susceptible to STDs. this is why the attention is much more focused on the woman than the man. You confuse me Coogar, Women don't need education? I'm cool with men chasing and women being their targets. No issues with that. Like I told TV, the woman getting STD faster does mean the man will not get it eventually. It's just a timing difference. So eventually, the risk evens out. Consequently, both genders need to be focused on equally. |

TV01: Feminism and it's precepts colour how many - male and female, feminists and non-feminists - approach the issue
I honestly don't know too much about feminism. But I'll share my views on my perception of it some other day.
Please search it out for yourself. Ask specifically and I'll try and provide links.
Ok but highlighted a few already
Shame or not, stigmatised or not, there is a societal cost as the outcomes for the children are typically poorer - do you need proof of this? It's one of the ways people these days miss it. It's about the greater good, not simply individual desire and satisfaction.
Typically poorer? One of the sweeping statements. We judge single mothers like it takes one person to tango, did she impregnate herself? Where is the single father in all of this? Why is he being let off the hook? should we continue to live like this cuz that's how it has always been? I don't think so. The consequences will hit us all alike
Not empirical I hope ! The rate of transmission between the parties if either is infected. Please read again.
The rate of transmission is greater in women, I agree, not 7 times though, 2ce is more like it. But ultimately, these women sleep with men right, and so on the long run, I believe it evens out. My point is this, yeah the woman gets it faster than the man, but eventually, the man gets it also. So, on the long run, the risk becomes the same
You'd do well to search this one out. One abortion increases a womans chances of a serious pathology later in life by up to 40%. And I mean pathologies like breast cancer etc. Oral/chemical contraceptives are also dangerous as these can have dangerous side effects on some women - and for many induce unpleasant day-to-day side effects.
I need to search this
Nope. It's true widely known and ApexTitan provided a link. Women tend to embed physical/emotinal experiences and are prone to romanticising them. It doesn't bode well for hubby, especially at times things are hard, he's struggling or there is a down in the marriage. It engenders "dissatisfaction" in women.
Myth. I need empirical evidence. You tend to underestimate women a lot. I'll check the link though
I sure everyone has spotted the not so sublte shifting of responsibility onto men ! Women adopting the pathological traits of men will backfire on us all - but mostly on women.
Wrong!! Mostly on the children, and consequently, equally on the parents (man and woman)
It's mens fault in as much as they fell for the equality ruse and shed age-old traditions for odd notions like equality, freedom and autonomy.
Pray tell, why does equality bother you guys so much?? A woman wants to share your responsibilities with you and you don't like it? I surely don't understand feminism.
I never said or championed any of those things. They are natural outworkings of the male female dynamic - and hence embedded into culture.
Nothing natural about it, cultural yes but culture evolves. We need to evolve pass this already
Agreed. But a male won't have to drop out of school when he gets a woman pregnant Niether will he face the risk of childbirth, single parent stigma or l/t consequences of an abortion.
Risk of childbirth applies to every woman. Doesn't apply A woman does not have to drop out of school cuz she is pregnant. Single mother stigma? Back then, yes but fast becoming a thing of the past. Ask Sunbo Ajaba(hope I got the name right)
It doesn't actually sound like you read it. Otherwise it would be gospel to you . In fact, your moderation is regressive as 1. I clearly stated "both parties". 2. It's not at "some point", but when marriage is in view or a distinct possibility.

I maintain "at some point" - the best time to tell is not cast in stone. Both parties will decide on the best time to spill. One cap does not fit all in relationships/marriage
If one settles for an immature man, that doesn't in any way negate my advice.
Well, the reality of life is - there is no perfect man anywhere. If that is your man's weakness, apply wisdom.
As above. All you are doing is making excuses for non-disclosure. It is not necessarily a bad thing to discuss your intended with at least one family elder. I took something about my wife to a trusted family member/condfidante for advice.
You say one, somebody else say two, some three, some ten yet others say none. Where is the yardstick? Bottom line, no one cap fits all in relationships/marriage
Good attempt, but you have rebutted nothing. Neither have you presented more telling arguments. !
