MissMakas: Awww. That's very loving and romantic of you. 
So in what ways is he a wonderful person? What and what does he do?  See, you're in for a long thing oo. I'll bombard you with questions. Hope you're ready?  He's very caring. It sounds like a cliche but it's true. He knows me inside out. It's a disadvantage sometimes because I can't "form" for him again. Lol. We're derailing oh. Lol. |

repogirl: being single is definitely no sin but the love of money is, and the fact that you strive towards money says so much that I needn't waste my words anymore. The suffragettes (original feminists) achieved most of their aims and faded into oblivion after that, they fought for worthy causes, they fought for their rights which were being withheld, pls tell me what modern day feminists are fighting for..... That men be given same paternity leave as their wives, that they be allowed to expose their chest areas like men or according to Chimamanda, women should be allowed to break kolanuts, seems as if they envy the men. Mtchewww ..... Just being ridiculous but of course they wouldn't know they are.
Anyhoo, I wish all of you luck breaking out of your self imposed bondage. K |

5minsmadness: And how does her work cook the food? You work all day, your wife works all day too (unless she's a housewife). Why should she come back home to do all the chores while you watch TV with a beer in your hand? |

5minsmadness: Spittsssss! I reject that in its entirety!
He also ensured all his girls learned how to cook while the boys went to the farm. Was he still a feminist.
Spittttttttttss! Do you go to the farm? |

5minsmadness: @bolded,not true m'am. My grandfather never heard the word feminism and yet he sent all his 7daughters to school. And he wasn't the only one. Others in the village did so as well. Because he believed his daughters should not be denied education because of their sex, he was a feminist. |

repogirl: and when you are sick and need comfort, I guess your money will comfort you.
When you are lonely and your body is in need of some you know what, I guess your money will do that for you.
When you need advice or to have interesting conversations with someone, guess your money will do that for you.
When you feel the need to procreate and have cute little descendants of yours and then bring them up in the right way, I guess your money will do that for you.
When you need someone to boost your ego or morale when you're feeling unsure bout yourself, I guess your money will do that for you.
Lastly when you leave this world, who will miss you dearly, speak touching eulogies about you and keep your memory dear to their hearts. I guess your money will do that for you.
Our most important treasures in this world is our time, what we do with it and then our relationships. Everyone should aspire toward wealth and prosperity, but should not lose sight of what is really important. Because the really important things make life worth living.
Now on to the topic;
Well, I don't know Chimamanda's upbringing was but I was never brought me up to see myself as a lower being to give respect when it is needed but definitely not to be walked all over.
Nobody can put you in a place you don't want to be, sometimes as a woman, you deal with some men that have warped thinking, agreed but doesn't mean the world has put you in a corner.
Times are changing, for centuries, women have been homemakers mostly instead of career women but that was what was needed at the time. Now the economy has changed and like it or not, women have to also contribute their quota to their upkeep and family finances. I believe, like it or not, we are a constantly evolving race and with time, these things will change naturally.
All this you must not let people put you here or there is just not worth it to me, some people are malleable naturally and they will be that way whether you preach feminsm to them throughout eternity.
Women should not shenk important responsibilities because of this feminism crap. You can be an awesome career woman, awesome wife and an awesome mother all at once. Marriage is a beautiful thing. I would love to get married. It is possible to be rich & married & that is what I pray for. But if I had to choose, I would choose money. Being single is not a sin. FYI, this "feminist crap" is the reason women can vote, the reason your daughter can go to school. Feminism is advocacy for social & economic equality of the sexes. |

aderonila18: The point of feminism is equality including equality in choice. Any woman who wants to go bare chested should be able to same as men and any woman who chooses not to should also have the same right like men who chose not to.
The poster above is choosing to excercise her right to not expose her nipples because she doesn't feel like it  Thank you!  I'm done talking about n.ipples. There are more important issues in life. |
