Family › Re: How Relevant Is Bearing A Male Child In Today's World? by lezz(m): 2:19pm On May 23, 2016
A male offspring is double step into the future!!!

In the world of hereditary and tradition, bequeathment and customs, a male child is next thing to surety.

Males are responsible for customs, civilisation, security, foundation and continuity and stability. Every woman should have one.

I will address your number one directly. I'm guessing you're not opposed to white women giving men and their children citizenship even though they're prone to emotional vulnerability.
Seeing that statistics show that men are more prone to pack up and leave the family, maybe for another woman etc. Mothers more than not stay and shoulder the children. That there are lot more single mothers than fathers is a testament to this. Somehow these women who are obviously clear headed and determined for their families suffer from "emotional vulnerability" than the men who bail on them.
lolz The hypocrisy is strong with this one.
Doubly presumptuous you are!!!
Been having network bottleneck!

And whatever gave you the impression I am in support of western countries granting citizenship to foreign males?

Have the males here not taken utmost advantage of that statutory folly and exploited their women, economy and statutes by that act?

Has America and the West not imposed stricter measures to curb its excesses?

Listen young lady, not every country smiles at dual citizenship and even those countries who do have strict control on who they confer it to or what public or electoral office they run.

Oh, and men may cheat more than women, but they don't often break the union, majority of single mothers were never married or left their marital home in their own volition.

PinketteDawn:
Human culture once had evidence of matriarchy at some point in time. Different cultures that existed around the world in prehistoric times gave evidence to that. The reason why I brought this up was to disprove your claim that existing cultures have always seen man as the dominant sex right from the prehistoric times. The evidence I gave you did enough justice to that whether you like it or not. So you are the one in denial.

Here is another link for you.

http://www.womanthouartgod.com/didwomanruletheworld.php
[b]And the Feminist desperation continues! grin grin Prehistoric times women ruled the world!!! Your source talks of archeological findings to support the claim that women ruled the world!!!!

Yes snakes had legs before and humans were actually chacma baboons that evolved into super animals.

In prehistoric times when humans share a boundless sphere with wild beasts, women ruled. When women had PMS and mensural cramps, 9 months of biological incapacitation and many more years of child-nurturing, they were ruling. grin grin grin You could easily pass for an intellectual woo-woo.

Now tell me, what civilisations or era that survived female rulership? Because all civilisations known to man are by men!!! So which civilisation or era did women found?

I get you, according to your feminist whining source, they were PREHISTORIC, so no documentation except some archeologists suggest women ruled somewhere in the distance of time that didn't carry any culture or civilisation. Arghhhgh, the sheer desperation could very well mar my Sunday beer grin grin grin
Every moment of history only point to the defenselessness of women. The idea of a golden time when women ruled is an intellectual fraud, and you, my dear, are done for!!!

PinketteDawn:
Biology or genetics have nothing to do with this , child.
Are you limiting the conditionality of genes to simple basic biology and physiology? Do not genes affect behaviour and temperament, eh? Tell me, granny, this child wants to know?

PinketteDawn:
This is simply as a result of the conditioning of the mind religion and societal influence. She has been made to believe that if she does not forgive and 'her'marriage breaks up, she will not find any other spouse to 'complete' her whereas the man can go ahead and get another woman(this is why many women keep enduring and forgiving till they die in an unhappy marriage).
Are you not being contradictory?

If women , as you claim are victims of societial conditioning, does it not laugh at your claim that women ruled the world once? So their culture and civilisations didn't survive? AhahahAhahaha!

Women in their early and late 20s who are financially independent and had career mothers are still more desperate for union like their 19th century mothers who never worked.

PinketteDawn:
[s]This is false. First of all, nobody(man or woman) needs a spouse to be complete. Second of all many women have been known to remarry after things went awry in their first marriage.[/s]
I fail to see the correlation here.

PinketteDawn:
I still don't know what being ready to forgive a cheating spouse has to do with being more genetically dependent on that spouse.
the emboldened word (that) is where you sought to deliberately misunderstand me.

Women (in general) being readily open to forgive a cheating husband than men (in general) , even though sources have proven that men suffer more in divorce, is a proof that women are genetically programmed to keep and maintain marrital union because of their dependability on men. Recent financial empowerment of females would have negated this. But rich women are even buying men in marriages now.

[b]*The idea of disallowing foreign men who married Nigerian women from being citizens of this country is welcomed cool The emotional vulnerability of women should rob them of this right. Not mentioning a vast majority who suffer from bad judgement.

* Women shouldn't work at night: there's rape out there. Since women are physically weaker and more blunt in perceiving real dangers, they should stay away from night duties.

* In the instance the father is alive and sound, a mother has no business giving consent of marriage. Women have proven to be taken by the jazz of emotions and quicksilver approach to life.

* The police is right in some restrictions of its female members.

*Rape is a serious crime of which punishment is severe. Burden of proof should be tough. "It is better for 10 guilty men to go unpunished than one innocent man to suffer in the hands of the law"

Since women could and have actually screamed rape when there was none, burden of proof should be made difficult as well.

All the other submissions are still subject to judicial interpretation with basic human rights and dignity setting the perceived discrimination aright.

The person saying age of consent for sex is 12 should go and read up on the law and stop propagating misinformation with such alarming alacrity.

That aside, the fellow should let the matter die because this country is a hopeless country where there is no justice for the common man. We are our own worst enemies, we punish ourselves but still cry that the government is useless. In a sane country the man will be charged with aggravated assault and will be made to pay damages.

That does not excuse your friend, though. In the eyes of the law he is guilty of statutory rape, i.e sex with a minor. Whether it was consensual or not doesn't matter
. He had sex with a minor so he can get up to 14 years behind bars if we are to follow it up strictly.

Then I thought, perhaps I should go even further to educate you on gender roles and how they came about, which, by the way, has nothing to do with genetics.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_role

Still on the matter:
Sex roles describes the tasks and functions perceived to be ideally suited to masculinity versus femininity. Sex roles have converged across many (though not all) cultures due to colonial practices and also due to industrialisation. These roles were different prior to the industrial revolution, when men and women worked alongside one another on farms, doing similar tasks. Entrenched gender inequality is a product of modernity.

I doubt that life in general is a one size fits all situation. And so it is for women as well. If not, I do wonder why some women are upping and leaving their marriages and why others have declared marriage is not for them.

They might be in the minority(for now) but denying the fact that some women are not "programmed" to depend on men is not so sensible. Some women are more than comfortable paying their bills, some don't mind getting married to men who earn less and so on... to everything your research claims, there are exceptions and to say otherwise is again not so sensible.

And who doesn't know that research conclusions can be false or drawn from the majority? The average Nigerian has an IQ of 80 they said but we go to their schools and graduate tops. I know you are so happy and fulfilled with this "research" and you await your brothers to join you and self-service on this thread but calm down... wink wink




The answer is simple and in your longass post "women are generally weaker and smaller"
Ada, you can't draw up a principle from its exception!!!

No principle or occurrence is in absolutism and the few exceptions can't void the premise on which the principle stands.

Women may opt out of marriage, it does not negate the fact that the average woman wants a man no matter her financial status or position. She's is innately programmed to hang on to a male and tag along in the rough terrain of life.

I have personally scripted threads that mirror this in the past, but seeing it re-echoed by professionals from the West -- the seat of female delusions-- is ever so refreshing.

[b] We live in an age in which women have earned complete independence. So do they need men at all?


According to Dr NICK NEAVE, an evolutionary
psychologist from Northumbria University, not only do they need men, they are fundamentally programmed to depend on them.


Here, Dr Neave, 41, explains his provocative thesis: You're a successful woman with a job to die for, a fabulous home and a supportive husband, but do you ever get the urge to check his mobile phone for love messages? Or his bank statements for intimate meals a deux that you didn't share? And do you lie awake at night worrying how you'll cope if the worst happens, your fears are proved and your husband walks out?

Don't worry. Your suspicion is only natural. At the risk of sounding extraordinarily sexist, I'm convinced that women, even in the happiest of relationships, are programmed to worry their men are going to abandon them.

And they're terrified - in a way that most men find it frankly impossible to imagine. What's more, if their forebodings come true, women are more inclined to forgive an affair than a man if the shoe is on the other foot. That's not because they're nicer, more easygoing individuals. It's simply because their primeval urge to hang onto a male provider is so strong.



Women in the 21st century may boast that they are truly independent for the first time in our social history. They may tell themselves and each other that they don't need a man. They can even start a family on their own thanks to IVF techniques.

But, while feminists may argue this proves women have finally kicked off the shackles of dependence on men, I'm afraid they're wrong.

In evolutionary terms the huge cultural changes over the past generation amount simply to the merest blink of an eye. It could take another 10,000 years for women to change their thinking.

Quite simply, women are preprogrammed to feel dependent on men. Even today women may be richer and enjoy all the trappings of success but, deep down in their psyche, they fear they can't survive alone.


These women may be shooting up the career ladder and earning more than the men in their lives, but when it comes to relationships men still hold the trump card.

As an evolutionary psychologist, I study patterns of behaviour dating back to the first human societies, and constantly analyse evidence that demonstrates the key differences which have developed between the sexes since men were hunter-gatherers and women were child bearers.

Females are smaller and weaker than males so, in prehistoric times, women and their offspring were prone to being the victims of predators, and violence.

They needed the support and protection of men who didn't just have brute force but also had social status in the group, either through their sheer physicality or the strength of their personality.

That's why women still look for a mate of higher social standing.


If a woman had a relationship with a socially dominant male, she would immediately get greater access to resources because her social standing would be elevated, too.

As we shall see, modern surveys consistently show that women today ape those inherent characteristics by looking for partners who are socially dominant and have the respect of their peers, paying close attention to how men interact with, and are treated by, other men.

Men have a different reason for choosing a mate. The caveman needed to be sure he was raising a child who was genetically his. The best way of doing this was to secure a mate and guard her so she didn't get the chance to stray.

A man's natural instinct may be to have sex with a different woman every day, but to safeguard his relationship (and secure his progeny), he has been forced into a pattern of monogamy. don't even realise what's happening. When couples meet at speed-dating evenings, typically a man will judge a woman on her looks and youth. His priorities are whether she's healthy, interested in sex and can give him children one day. He doesn't care how much she earns or her social status.



Typically, however, a woman's first question will be: 'What job do you do?' It sounds a friendly overture, but what she really wants to know is his social position and earning capacity. Is he an industrious, hard worker, capable of providing for her and their children?

Because of his power, even the ugliest politician on the planet has women lining up to go to bed with him. Were he the local rat catcher, his love life would be a good deal quieter. As American statesman Henry Kissinger put it: 'Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.'



One might argue that it's only natural for today's women in their 30s or 40s to feel dependent on a man. After all, the vast majority were raised by mothers who by and large didn't have careers and were forced to rely financially on their husbands.

Yet study after study proves that today's women in their 20s are just as insecure. In a recent study, two American researchers, John Marshall Townsend from Syracuse University and Gary Levy from the University of Toledo, presented women with photographs of men.

The first group, described as doctors, wore designer ties, smart shirts and sported Rolex watches. The second wore plain shirts and Swatch watches and were described as teachers. The third group wore Burger King uniforms.

Women repeatedly picked doctors as potential boyfriends - even though many of the men in the third category were actually more handsome. Quite simply, to women a man's looks are less important than earning power and social standing.



In another study, male and female medical students were asked to pick their ideal mate from a selection of careers. The majority of men chose nurses. Women, however, picked hospital consultants. This demonstrates that, although every bit as financially successful as their male colleagues, these young women still feel they need men to confer power and social standing to a superior male.



It's no surprise to me that another study this year by sociologists at Virginia University found that couples are happiest in traditional marriages run on old-fashioned gender lines, where the man is the main breadwinner. The report showed conclusively that women who worked were more dissatisfied with their husbands than those who stayed at home.


One of the experts, W Radford Wilcox, said: 'Regardless of what married women say they believe about gender, they tend to have happier marriages when their husband is a good provider.'

Happiest of all were women whose husbands brought in at least two-thirds of the household income, regardless of how much they helped with domestic chores.


In short I suspect women will never feel truly comfortable earning more than their men. The need to rely on a man is driven by such a deep-seated biological urge, I cannot see it ever being eradicated completely.



Only last week, a survey by the Skipton Building Society concluded that many women who are the main breadwinner hold it against their partner for contributing less to the household budget than they do. grin grin grin

While those women might like the material rewards of their high salaries, they also dislike the financial responsibility - perhaps reflecting the inbuilt genetic imperative to rely on someone else.
shocked shocked shocked ( Hello Pinkettedawn grin )

It is that instinctive need to rely on a man which makes women so afraid of abandonment. Perhaps that is why women are more attuned to their partner's moods and curious about tiny aspects of his life. And they are much better than men at spotting liars.

Evolutionary psychologists are convinced that these are in part throwbacks to a woman's need to maintain her relationship at all costs.

It's completely irrational for women, who can earn as much as men, to have a terror of being abandoned. Even if she can't work, the welfare state means she's not going to starve. Yet it's a real fear for many women. We have anecdotal evidence of women lying awake at night worrying how they'd cope.

Women are terrified of abandonment. They fear a drop in status or social standing that might come with divorce in a way men - who are driven by very different priorities - simply don't understand.

Even extremely wealthy, successful women have these vestigial anxieties which bear absolutely no relation to the reality of their lives, but are throwbacks to caveman society.

Ironically, although men actually fare less well after divorce and are often less happy, women typically are more frightened of living alone.

Men find it extremely hard to forgive an affair. This dates back to early man's horror of unwittingly raising another man's child. However, women are predisposed to be more tolerant of affairs. It comes down to brutal economics. The thought of your husband having sex with another woman may be devastating. But even worse is the prospect of him pouring all his financial resources her way.

Quite simply, women are so programmed to feel dependent that their subliminal urge to safeguard the home often outweighs the fury of being sexually betrayed.

Terror of being abandoned even drives the beauty industry. Eating clinics report a four-fold rise in the number of middle-aged women seeking help for anorexia and bulimia because they're desperate to look slim and youthful. These problems were once the province of teenage girls.

And while women may claim they are having cosmetic surgery and Botox treatments purely to feel better about themselves,
I believe the reason is much more complex. Women are driven by a primeval urge to keep their men by looking youthful and fertile. Sexist? Maybe. True? I fear so.

PinketteDawn:
Please how does genetics come into this? I still don't see it. I thought maybe you would cite a research done by some scientists to show how a woman's DNA strand is incomplete without a matching strand from that of a man. Everything you listed here still does not prove to me that a woman is genetically dependent on a man.

Perhaps as a result of nuturing and envirommental influence, women have been taught to rely on a man for direction (this is fast changing in our society today because many women are being brought up to be strong and independent these days).

If an attack occurs, where I come from, my first instinct will be to run for my life, away from the source of the attack. I don't have the time to sit and wait for a man to save me. You may find it hard to believe, but women can also think and act rationally under pressure too. All these come as a result of training and conditioning of the mind. Men are brought up to believe that they should never shed tears and you see them suppressing tears because their mind is already wired to believe that a man does not shed tears in difficult situations. Or when you see a man venting his feelings you will hear 'you talk and behave like a woman. Be a man! A man does not talk too much'
All these are as a result of nuturing and conditioning of the mind. It has nothing to do with genetics. I was brought up to believe that a woman cannot be a mechanic, imagine my shock and dismay the day I saw a woman mechanic...yet again, an example of mind conditioning.

Still I see no way a wOman is genetically wired to be dependent on a man. If you have done a research in this, kindly share it with us.
Sugar, you have, without much effort, denied the structural and genetical difference between men and women.

And you used the well-worn tool of "societal conditioning" as an excuse. Society condition women you say, and I say it is in your genes, baby.

Let me tell you all ladies something without the consolation of euphemism to make me dear to you.

There are not one difference between you and women of the last century. The only difference is they were true to their nature, you are denying your very predisposition with education.
Carry on.

Then my dear, both of us have different understanding of leadership. A leader cannot exist without a follower and vice versa.
Same belief here.

PinketteDawn:
So if you want to tell me that a woman is genetically programmed to depend on a man, then permit me to also conclude that a man is also genetically programmed to depend to a woman. None can exist without the other.
Unless of course you can prove otherwise to me.
In a way yes, the relationship between a man and a woman is complementary in nature , made so by the unfathomable brilliance of God through millions of years of evolution.

That's why faggøtry can't make sense ever.

Women are more dependent on their men in more ways than men are.

I don't have the time now to type a long submission.

But in everyday things like sex, emotional well-being, in chaos, spirituality, trend, culture etc. Women wait for man to lead and she follows.


Take this home:

If Nairaland were a physical sphere and a terrorist act were to occur or armed robbers where to attack, all the females here will instinctively, without the luxury of a nano second of thought look up to the men for direction, and leadership......that's the ones who will have the presence of mind, the others might be too busy screaming or in a state of perceptual shock.

I will in little bits of my time , after all he types like scam anyway , they always want to lick as$es .
When you're ready, I'll PM you all his gazillion monikers he uses. Unlike most Nairalanders, he doesn't own up to his handles except 2.

But we have irrefutable evidence of all his zillion handles, including female ones he uses to hoodwink unsuspecting females into thinking he is being sought after.

I don't want his death now, oh thou merciless executioner. We're yet to serve him his best meal.

Only after that will you spill this impure-blood and rid us of his evil.

I haven't touched the vast reservoir of facts and evidence I have against that undernourished, demonised, petty, cold thief. Facts of his actual life that spilled onto Nairaland and other forums and e-platformsm.

He is the breathing exemplification of attention deficit disorder and inexorable greed.

I give him grace and time to mend his ways. But he can't just steer away from making side jibes, can he?

lol I think you really have seen through this lad .

even if I don't know him , the way you've analysed his intentions on why " the long epistles " is a reason to believe every bit of your allegations towards him is affirmative.
Go read his posts and history, a lengthy backlog but you'll be rewarded.

Now ask yourself this; he says he is 19 years of age.

So what's he doing crowding supposedly much older women some of whom are married and with kids.

From _Nubian113, to _Ladyboss, to _Creamish and to women in the family section most of whom are married and with children.

If several of his failed attempts at swindling them had not been revealed no one will know.

The real tradegy is when they refused complying with his financial shams, he comes to Nairaland and reveal everything they have confided in him offline.

He will troll and hound them in rap battles until they deactivate.

Go through his history log.

I give to you on this one bro.

let me use this opportunity to ask if the Shammer you refer to is the same moniker who have been wasting a lot of space on this thread typing very long shitty epistles?
He is!!!

A mythical 19 year old whose brain elasticity can't stretch beyond 5 minutes Google search to prate about what he has no knowledge about. grin grin grin

One would think, the kid would be worried about his studies and future instead of dabbling into adult affairs he knows little about.
But preying on the vulnerability of "older" females in dire emotional need is his stock-in-trade.

He gives "carefully researched acquiescence" to their submissions to warm his way--always.

The length of his epistle is a clear depiction of his desperate need of their recognition. grin grin grin

We hope he doesn't die of the logical fallacy of his long epistles faster than he is certain to die from the failed search of another vulnerable woman to scam and later troll out of Nairaland when relationship goes bad. cool

I totally agree with you on this. Yes every woman wants her man to LEAD her.
cheesy grin Good and honest start.



PinketteDawn:
How? The little I know about genetics is that no sex can exist without the other, so women depend on men and vice versa, especially to procreate. Could you please explain how women are genetically programmed to depend on men?
But you have the answer yourself cheesy cheesy cheesy. You just stated that yourself above.
