I already told you ONE already exists!!!! In fact there are several, some are specific to industries. E.g spices directory.

Ebirra:

Bringing a gender neutral directory for small businesses would be a better solution

Maybe because the smaller business omitted are women owned.

Ebirra:


So what's the essence of this gender specific directory?

calm down, there is already a general exporters directory and smaller businesses are sometimes omitted. I guess some are owned by women.

Ebirra:
The truth is this innovation is all shades of wrong, it is empowering just one gender over the other. I don't see any all male business directory.

To attain full gender equality, we have to be gender neutral and fluid, we have to bypass gender classification. It's a pity that African Women Entrepreneur-ship Programme (AWEP) is ignorant of this fact.

Thanks. For me it is good and right what you say.. there are ways and ways

Oh, MariaLavina is to be ignored like cow poop in the gutters. She is just a naughty and taunting child. Don't mind her.

Are you really trying to reason with people who think your gender thinks and operate like children? Good luck with that.

elektra:
I just want to add for people on here that think I am "lying and manipulative" against men. I am not.

I want fathers to know and enforce their rights.

I welcome the MGTOW movement. I like that men are beginning to see that the traditional family set up (especially in the current economy) is unfair to either sex. It is unfair to expect men to be 100% responsible for financial burden of the family, it is also unfair to expect women to be 100% responsible for the chores and raising children.

bukatyne:


Emmmmmmmmmmm

Not a direct response.

Look at it more like the duty of fathers.

I agree with you 100%. I was just saying the quickest way people on NL find loopholes in arguments is through religion. If you make ur post neutral, there wouldn’t be excuses like “this is for Christians”.

Anyways, I trust that your thread will be much more civil, I like how you stick to topic when you respond to insulting quotes.

Is this a reply to that other crazy thread? If it is, it wouldn’t be effective getting your message across because this only applies to Christians. Anyways, it’s your post let me mind my business.

You realized it doesn’t look cool to call women children now you are back pedaling. Anyways, that’s why I jumped on this thread. Since you now regret doing so, you can carry on stroking your d!ck. Na for woman you get power. One day, I hope I get to see this kind of passionate responses in male dominated sections

Regiomontanus:
Lol. Seems you are not bright. Someone thinking like a child doesn't mean that such person is a child. Men love video games like children do but men are not children. I warned your mother to breastfeed and nourish you properly but she did not listen. Now, her son is a dunce while her breasts are still firm.

So you’ve been arguing with children since? What does that make you?

Regiomontanus:
Yes, CAPSLOCKED is right. When you study how women argue and reason on many issues, they are no different from children.

CAPSLOCKED:



WOW. THIS MEANS THAT SINCE I WAS BORN, ALL THE FATHERS IN THE HISTORY OF FATHERHOOD ARE FAILED MEN.. BEING THAT IN ALMOST EVERY FAMILY THE CHILD IS CLOSER TO THE MOTHER THAN THE DAD.

IT'S NOT BECAUSE WOMEN ARE LOVELY WHILE MEN ARE HARSH.
IT'S BECAUSE WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE NOT TOO DIFFERENT. THEY OPERATE ALMOST AT THE SAME FREQUENCY SO IT'S NOT DIFFICULT FOR THE TWO TO GET ALONG. THEY ALSO REASON SIMILARLY.

MEN ARE FAILURES BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BE AS BUSY AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THEIR FAMILIES ARE COMFORTABLE. LOL.

WOW so you are saying women are like children. This has descended into something else.

Don’t mind me jare, just looking for trouble. She is the NYSC girl.

The mere existence of the human society is due to the fact that we believe in the society, otherwise,we'd all be like animals.

What I mean is that, the reason why for example, Nigeria exists today is because we all believe that there is an entity called Nigeria, if we cease to believe it, then Nigeria wouldn't exist.

Same way it is with women and gender equality. The society defined a woman as she is, and the only way you can change that is if society itself ceases to exist. Which is impossible.

That is why I said that what you are dreaming of is an unfeasible utopia where men and women have equal opportunities, it is impossible. Not even just because of society,but also due to natural limitations of the female species.

The best we can have is equity, where women would be treated fairly based on their capabilities and roles in society. Nobody will hand women opportunities on a platter of gold no matter the agitation, and women do not have the wherewithal to seize those opportunities themselves. It is the way humanity has become wired.

If others that came before you had accepted society’s defined roles on gender and race, you and I would still be in chains.

Humans make up a society and humans set the rules. Nothing is set in stone, rules and expectations change as society evolves. Nothing good happens when we accept the status quo. There is nothing about women that make them inferior, biology or otherwise. It’s humans that decided women should be inferior and you have been indoctrinated to parrot this fallacy.

It’s your choice and right not to believe in gender equality, fortunately the success of the movement doesn’t depend on your approval. There are people that came before you that made possible the new rights that most women now enjoy today, and there are people that will pick up the mantle after you are long gone.

DikeDiMighty:
Women cannot have access to equal opportunities with men because of their natural psychological, social and genetic deficiencies.

For instance, very few women are security experts, military officers or generals because, of course, the military values strength over all other qualities, and women aren't generally as strong as men(hence why they rarely go to war). The political class all over the world is dominated by men because women are burdened with social duties such as raising children, which dulls the momentum of their ambitions. The religious class all over the world is dominated by men because men are perceived to possess an higher emotional quotient and charisma for leadership, which naturally makes them look more credible than women(also, such religious roles are very time consuming, which prevent most women who have other social duties from aspiring. In some cases, religion doctrines even outrightly forbids women leadership, as seen in Christianity and Islam).

So, when men are in charge of the political, military, religious and even economic affairs of a society, do you ever expect equality?, women can never get equal opportunities in such a social setting. The opportunities belongs to men,and it is them who decides whether to share with women or not.

The best we can work towards is gender equity, not equality.

I think you are very wrong and I don’t agree with you. You just typed how society defines and treats the differences in genders. With each successes of the gender equality movement, society has been proven wrong about their pre-defined roles of genders. There were some roles/jobs that society never thought women could do, yet here we are. No human being should be made inferior because of how they are made. Also, not everyone conforms to a gender stereotype, that’s why everyone irrespective of gender should have equal access and opportunities.

There are some men that don’t want to fight in a war, while there are some women that embrace combat. Those women were previously denied that opportunity because of their gender, feminism exists to change that. Equality- equal opportunities and access irrespective of gender.

I was nice to him and welcomed him but after his rude response to some questions I asked him, I decided to return the gesture.

Oh ok, lol I didn’t know you guys had a history.

DikeDiMighty:
I am more of a realist. The psychological and genetic composition of the female species places her below the male. These taxonomic discrepancies are further reinforced by social myths(such as religion, culture, education, ideology, etc) which govern the existence of the human race.

For example, almost every monotheistic religion on Earth perceive God to be a man, the polytheistic ones have weaker godesses compared to their male counterparts (you see the gods given celestial portfolios over warfare, battle, lightening, sun, ocean, etc, while the goddesses occupy the terrain of love, fertility, etc). Knowing that religion is intrinsic to social dynamics, you can just imagine how this system of worship would subconciously affect the way the female species is generally perceived.

Same goes for culture and other social myths. So, my point is that, women are wired to be slightly inferior to men in nature, but equal to men in biological essence, hence, why I believe they should be treated with equal respect.

The equality in “gender equality” is not literal, it references access to equal opportunities. Also, women were deemed inferior at a time when physical strength was coveted.

DikeDiMighty:
I was going through this section and I saw this thread where a guy was saying virginity is the best marriage gift to give a man.

https://www.nairaland.com/5152538/virginity-best-wedding-gift-man

My take on this is that, while a women keeping her virginity till marriage is all well and good(from the moral or religious standpoint), what about the man?. In this part of the world, men feel it is their right to demand lofty characteristics from women, characteristics which they themselves don't possess. If a woman should keep her virginity till marriage as a gift, then is it not only proper for the man to reciprocate?. Sadly, that is not the case. We view men losing their virginity long before marriage as a normal phenomenon,but if a woman does the same, she is slut-shamed and the act is tagged an fornication/abomination (even by men who, ironically,have slept with myriads of other girls).

Now, I am not preaching gender equality, because I don't even believe in that. But some things are just logical and fair. A man should also be willing to keep his virginity till marriage if he is expecting to marry a virgin wife. You can't be expecting to marry a virgin when you yourself are not one, what make you better that her then?, It is paining you that other men have slept with her,but you reason that it is cool for you to have slept with other women right?, What about the other women you slept with and even took their virginity?.

All these stem from the subconscious believe in Africa that women are the property of their husbands. I feel that is chauvinistic and only a step away from master-slave mentality. We need to change this mindset. A woman is as much her husband's property as her husband is her property.

That is my take.

I am curious, why don’t you believe in gender equality when you espouse its principles?

Hopefully you can move on and start your own gay website for your kind so the rest of us don't have to puke with the mental image of your foul behavior.

Wow

salford1:

Or tomatoe paste manufacturer or business men with cargoes on ships or motivational speakers, and posting pictures of themselves with Ferraris, Rolls royces or Bentleys on Instagram.

... and Nigerians fawn over them and insult those that question their source of wealth. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

Cheating on your wife is NOT a mistake. It’s a premeditated action. You consciously decided to cheat, betray and lie to your wife. A mistake is forgetting to turn off the light.

RockHard:


I get where you are coming from but you have to realize that life is not in black and white, some mistakes do occur for different reasons. Nothing wrong in giving someone a second chance if he's sorry. Of all the good things/sides of the man, why pick on that one mistake especially if he's remorseful?

WildChild00:



Crayfish in beans demn is that not ridiculous? Pray your husband does not find fault in it ooo, I have never seen it B4 are you cooking soup? Egwhoooo

Yup! Igbo cuisine, they add crayfish to everything, even Jollof rice.

Lonestar124:
I see nothing wrong with her attitude she is just like one of other girls playing hard to get..............At the course of asking her question do you attempt to find out if she is in relationship?

I think she is kind of busy person, don't be inferior, [b]her honouring your invitation in the first place shows she has feeling for you [/b]Take things easy with her, she is a woman and must exude the initial egoism just to know if you're serious.............And you waiting for her to call you is sign of unseriousness, when a man sees what he delight on, he goes for it without minding who is losing or not..Your consistency will make her to consider...wish you luck.

No it doesn’t it, she was there for a business transaction.
