RomanceRe: Do Men Offer Sex? by MissWrite(f): 8:52am On Mar 03, 2018
I'm not sure I know how to read this question, to be honest. Do men offer sex? In my opinion: Yes.

Of course, yes. It's one out of several things they've got to give.

In fact, everyone has a list of things they've got up for grabs whenever they interact with another human being (if nothing else, then they give/offer their time). Little things and big things which make them attractive (and useful) to others. For example: humor, good conversation, ego-massage, motivation, occasional companionship, reliable friendship, emotional support, financial support, sex, marriage. In our interaction with people, we try to figure out what a person has got to "offer" and if we have "need" for that thing; because that's the only way the interaction/relationship would be of value to us, instead of just being a waste of our time. And it's their responsibility to evaluate our value to them in return, so that it becomes a symbiotic relationship.

You cannot "offer" something and not get anything in return. That's not sustainable. A relationship where one person gives and doesn't get anything in return, dies.

Mind you, there are some relationships that might seem parasitic (on a superficial level), but they aren't really. A person doesn't necessarily have to get his "reciprocation" from his counterpart directly to get "value". Sometimes, a "giving-person" gets reciprocation from a third party or by extension: for instance: a man who's in a relationship with a woman for her father's influential name ( she has no personal assets he values, but she's got value bestowed on her by her family); or a woman who marries a man for her compulsory "MRS" qualification (he's got no personal gifts of value to her but society has blessed him with that specific kind of value to a woman); there are also people who derive satisfaction from being magnanimous in relationships, because religion has given value to self-sacrifice, selflessness, and suffering for the sake of other people. They feel noble, telling themselves it's all for God.

Some of these things aren't rock-solid: financial support is good until I have my own money; sex is good until it's not; a man in a woman's life gives her social validation but when he starts to threaten her life, she must choose what's more important: to live or to please society? The moment we don't need some of these things anymore, the person loses value on our eyes. But it doesn't mean they don't still have those things to offer, which would be of value to the next person who's got those needs. Absolutely nobody is generally valueless.

So, sex is probably one of the easiest things men have to offer. But by itself, it isn't very sellable to many Nigerian women. It's a cheap commodity because, just like junk food, it might taste good but over-indulgence makes Nigerian women unattractive (to Nigerian men) in the long run. And "attractiveness to men" is something Nigerian women want to preserve. So, naturally, women would rather want things which would add value to them and avoid things that detract value.

Most men, on the other hand, value sex and not much else. Even though both genders have the capacity to "offer" sex, sex for sex generally isn't in a woman's interest in the Nigerian context. And most men would consider "companionship, motivation, etc minus sex" from a woman a waste of their time. So, in a bid to get women to bring sex to the bargaining table, men offer "the woman's ask": financial support or marriage (which traditionally includes financial support plus "legitimized" sex for women). We are all just trading value; but somehow, when sex and money are involved, it becomes a moral issue.

For emancipated females who have worked themselves to financial independence, and whose worlds have expanded to the point where they don't necessarily have to live with and worry about this misogyny, they can put things in context and Africa becomes just another bad neighborhood on the wrong side of town. When a woman's value in society doesn't really depend on having a man, she would not staunchly avoid a burger (just for the sake of remaining attractive to a man) if it makes her happy. Her own health and comfort would be her primary concern and motivation for moderation. Such a woman won't have any inhibitions, she would value sex for the sake of sex.

But there's always the exception to the rule.

That's because most men in Africa shame and debase women as their body count increases. So if we are willing to increase our body count and take the shame on your account, how do you not see our sacrifice? It's not a level playing field.

If you had been concentrating you would have counted approximately 112 years, as the 1938 one was "female/woman's chivalry" which I said I discounted.

Secondly, my argument was not that it had NEVER been used for women (as I knew even women could be nights), the argument was that is was very rare to the point of negligible.

It could even fcking be used for wild animals.

The point is that most people's attribution and understanding is that it is a masculine thing, hence why the use of it for women is negligible.

If one put a search for "Chivalrous Women" in google, several questions that would pop-up would be related to the applicability to women.

Even one of google's related searches suggestion when you put that in a search would be "chivalry female equivalent", which tells you many English-speaking people don't think it is applicable to women and are searching for the alternative word that is equavalently applicable to women.
Alright this is getting tedious. I'm picking out the bolded words and considering them your concession.

I agree with you, you did provide it with the "chivalrous women".

What I am saying is that you provide some few usage 100s of years ago. But definitions, as I stated, is about usage.

Is there any reason why you can't provide modern/current usage? 100 years is fcking pretty long?

I note that in your source itself ('Feminism and the creation of a female aristocracy' by Peter Wright), it clearly states:

"Chivalry today continues to be undertood as STRICTLY male obligations towards female beneficiaries".

In your source, not mine.

So can you see why I noted the 100 years?

He even alluded to my argument that the behaviour of niceness/kindness by women to men is not called "chivalry".
This is your category, he acknowledged you: people who continue to understand chivalry as strictly male obligations towards female beneficiaries. Even when there are historical examples of a wider application. Books are written to enlighten people because ignorance
continues to live amongst us.

The older examples were of greater value to me because I wanted to see how far back this sort of usage went. And it dates back far enough to a time when chivalry was alive and well. And I counted 80 years between 1938 and 2018.

No, you missed the point, darling.

If you go back and read what I posted, I stated: "I would not even accept black people as academic based on two or ten of them winning Nobel Prizes...."

Nowhere did I state a black man cannot be said to lack academic aptitute.
Okay, I'm sorry. Then my response to you should have been that you analogy does not apply and you clearly missed my point. My point is: the existence of female knights through history proves that knighthood was not restricted to men.



Of course I know what we are debating about.

I am just telling you that it was nonsense and a waste of my time for you to intepret my insinuations as true for all case.

E.g. my insinuation that men are love sex more than women to mean I think every single man loves sex than every single woman.

My insinuation that men are more intelligent than women to mean I think every single man is more intelligent than every single woman.

You SHOULD have known it was "on average".
Again, it's NOT about averages. It's about whether the word (chivalry) can be used to qualify women. Just like "tall" and "affinity for sex", even when men are tall(er) on the average.


There is really no argument there, darling.
Clearly not with you.

Nice collection.

I must say that the first half would have not passed the mustard because the use was "female chivalry" or "women's chivalry", which suggests that the authors really saw it as an oxymoron.

But the final half do qualify as the use was "chivalrous women".

That said, your most recent example was 100 years ago?
Lol! You asked for text on the issue; I gave it. If it had said merely "chivalry", according to your thinking, it would not comprise women. Now you have chivalry and women in the same sentence. Be happy, for chrissakes.

Sagamite:
You missed the core point there.

The point was not who Nobels are given to. The point was which races demonstrate academic prowess.

The black race would not be regarded as one.

I know knighthood and war-leadership are not exclusive to men in history. I am just saying the behaviour attributed to the title is definitively masculine.
No, actually it was you who missed the point here. The question is: can chivalry be used to qualify women? It is not: which gender exhibits chivalry? or which gender is more chivalrous? It is simply: can a woman be described as chivalrous?

Just like: Can a black man be said to have academic aptitude?

It isn't a comparative issue.



When I say "women" or "men", I think you need to figure out that I meant "on average".

I am sure if I said men are taller than women, you would not come back here and say I meant all men are taller than all women.
What does this even mean, and how is it applicable? We are arguing if a word can fittingly describe a woman. Now, it's well known that men are taller than women on the average. But does that mean that a woman cannot fittingly be described as being tall? Is it a word that can only be applicable to men? I think not.

This wasn't a good example to make your point.



No! Wrong.

Cooking and cleaning is not about nurture.

Women are naturally more interested in things that involve people, glamour, design and relationships than men.

Men are naturally more interested in things that involve manufacturing, systems, achievements and social power than women.

That is why men's TV channels/magazines would show you sex, sports, physical challenges, documentaries and politics, while women's TV channels/magazines would show you fashion, family, love and trash like reality TV.

Evolutionary engineering, not social engineering.

Claiming otherwise is the feminist crap I referred to.

Sagamite:
No, darling, I am not limiting it to knights.

As I said earlier, the word chivalry has metamophise into two different premises based as demonstrated in all dictionaries:

a) Knights (in war situations)

b) Men (in their specific, considerate behaviour towards women)

Two or ten female "knights" out of over probably over 100,000 knights in history is not really a strong argument.

I would not even accept black people as academic based on two or ten of them winning Nobel Prizes out of the over 200 Laurettes in history. So that knight one is really extremely weak.

Again, the bigger emphasise is that the word is almost never used for women or attributed to women's behaviour towards men.

You have a better chance of convincing me "pretty" is used for men. And the chance for this in itself is virtually zero.

Chivalry is a word for, and expectation of, men.



Well, the leading voices in feminism would disagree with you.

In their warped mind, apart from physical strength, they argue that men and women are virtually the same naturally. No difference.

That:

- Women have equal intelligence as men.

- Women have same type of intelligence as men.

- Women love sex as much as men do.

- Women are as promiscuous as men.

- Women are as logical as men.

- Women are as good and interested in STEM subjects as men.

- Women have the same career aspirations and drive as men.

- Women want the same things in life as men.

etc.

They argue that the difference we see is only because of "patriarchical" society's nurturing. "It is all about nurture, not nature". undecided

And if you disagree with them, you are a "sexist" or a "misorgynist" who just does not want women to be equal.

You see that they are mad?

Some of the other feminists might not agree with this leading voices except when they are engaging with a man in an argument and they see that taking this position can lead to some kind of beneficial advantage. ..................Well, trust a woman; as illogical as fck in an argument. undecided
Okay then. If you are accepting the morphed version of the word, why are you not willing to accept that chivalry ALSO means:

1. Very polite, honest, and kind behaviour, especially by men towards women (Cambridge dictionary).

2. Courteous behaviour, especially that of a man towards women (Oxford)

3. Polite, kind, and unselfish behaviour, especially by men towards women (Collins).

4. The qualities of being polite and honest and having honour that were expected of a knight (Macmillan)

And as Reina as already pointed out: “especially” does not mean “specifically” or “exclusively”. So you cannot claim that the word chivalry CANNOT apply to women as well.

I don’t expect you to conclude on the academic prowess of black people based on two (or even ten) Nobel prizes, no. I, however, would expect you to see that Nobel prizes aren’t exclusively given to non-black people; and that black people can also have a chance to win Nobel prizes when they excel in their fields. In the same way, I would expect you to see that women were not excluded from knighthood, even if there were only two examples to make that point. But you would find that there were quite a number. The example I gave you earlier was a whole order of knighthood for women.

I think you misunderstand the concept of equality which feminism advocates. We cannot say women have equal intelligence as men, when one man doesn’t even have the same intelligence as the next man. Same goes for sex drive, logic and a host of other subjective variables. It’s just simply ridiculous to make such suppositions.

https://www.nairaland.com/4198664/feminism-relevant-time-place-emancipation

Yes, I agree that society suppresses women with culture and religion. Here’s the difference in the nature/nurture argument: If a woman is tasked with child birth, it is as a result of nature (she has the hardware for it). If a woman is tasked with cooking and cleaning (which are both acquired skills), that’s because she’s nurtured to do so. And because society has certain expectations of men and women, both aren’t entirely free to choose where they want to fit in. Most women are ready to break out of their boxes because they’ve become unsuitable and incompatible with our desires. It should be our right to do so too; and it in no way means that we want to become men.

And as far as your shot on logic goes: No be who first call police dey win case. undecided

RomanceRe: Male Chivalry And Feminism: Are They Mutually Exclusive? by MissWrite(f): 11:49am On Feb 18, 2018
Sagamite:
Chivalry originated from war situations and from Knights.

The former is from a period where women did not participate in wars, the latter was a position women could not attain.

So, sorry, Chivalry is gender-specific. A woman cannot be "chivalrous". They can have or demonstrate the behaviours but the tag is not attributable to them in general.
I've been looking at this for a while........ Sagamite, if you want to limit your definition of chivalry to chivalry as it relates to knights (which indeed is the origin of the word), then you're going to have to accept that chivalry is not even a male-thing. It is not gender-specific; it is vocation-specific. It's an esoteric culture or code of conduct which applies only to knights, but not to men in general. And it would interest you to know that there have been female Knights throughout history. Whereas I'm sure you're familiar with females in battle (like Joan d'Arc, or the samurai Nakano Takeko), it's (maybe) a less well-known fact that "The Order of the Hatchet" was a military order of knighthood for women. And this isn't the only example, there were several militissas in the middle-ages.

How can it, therefore, even be taken for granted that men who aren't knights would abide by that code? What right do they have? This is just a residual deposit of all the fairy-tales we were told as children: Cinderella, sleeping beauty, Rapunzel..............the white knight in shining armor; a purely romantic notion which conveniently disregards the existence of female knights because it's bent on creating a pretty picture. It's fantastic (not........I mean fantasy).We don't necessarily remember much of history; but we cannot forget these stories that have immortalized the knight in shining armor. Feminism doesn't think much of these misogynistic fairy-tales where women are often depicted as the prize to reward a man's valor: if you slay the dragon, you can have your pick from my array of beautiful daughters. And somehow, we know, he'll pick the youngest, who's sweet and coy. Not only are these tales sexist, but they're agist as well. Remember how Cordelia was more virtuous than Regan and Goneril? Some of these fairy-tales need to be stood on their heads. Shrek has been great in addressing our obsession with beauty, but we've got a lot more thinking to do in order to shake people out of this dream.

The truth is, chivalry has a much wider application. When knights no longer hogged the word for themselves, and extended it towards en (in the age of Romanticism or idealism), why would it suddenly lose its fluidity now, when women are claiming it too in this age of Realism? Even after the accommodation has been made in the dictionary. When a man gives a woman his handkerchief to dry her tears; it's considered chivalrous, is it not? If a woman dips into her massive handbag to hand a man her handkerchief, why should it be considered anything less than chivalrous? Even if he's only using it to wipe his seat. Is chivalry not in the "thoughtfulness" of the gesture? (I think that it most definitely is) Or must there be a tearful, helpless creature at the receiving end (not just a needful one), a position men just won't be associated with out of their own free-will. And a position which, naturally, clashes with the portrayal of the strong feminist woman.

But.....




Feminism cannot be compatible with chivalry.

Apart from war situations where the definition of chivalry is about mercy, the other definition of chivalry is premised on acknowledging the weakness of the other sex, which modern feminism would not accept.

The latter definition is not demonstrated by men towards other men except they are poofs (homosexuals).
Feminism isn't about denying weakness; it is a human thing after all. Real-life situations are unique, and so are real-life people; we all have various strengths that can compliment the weaknesses of others regardless of gender. Feminism, however, is against casting women, as a gender, as helpless damsels in distress and, therefore, limiting chivalry to the self-serving, ego-boosting frivolities which men accord the DID. Isn't that a slap in the face of knighthood, though?

huh We have more marriages between peers these days than we had in the old days (and also more marriages where the woman is older); and that's because many women are willing to drop their requirements now since they aren't looking for a Daddy Warbucks. There was a time a woman would consider a man of her age beneath her (and not the other way round), but all that has changed. Many women don't look for that "ultimate provider" anymore; they don't look for that guy who is "made" and typically in his late thirties/early forties while she's in her early twenties. These days, a woman can be okay with a guy who seems to be on his way somewhere, knowing she would also get hers and compliment his income. In the old days, this would have been considered a serious gamble which no FOB would likely take.

Tohzara:
MissWrite and Reina Farine, I agree with you guys 100%. Like you said, It shouldn't be gender-specific (as that would make it sexist), but I WAS gender-specific in my question because that's exactly what I wanted to talk about. I've edited the topic to make that clear. And I appreciate your responses.

I consider it hypocritical for a feminist to place emphasis on male chivalry and consider it a one-sided OBLIGATION. And I'm glad none of you tried making a case for it. There are "feminists" who consider this normal, and claim those of us who have problems with it are "petty". I think it's a normal thing to do, but it should be RECIPROCATED.
smiley I know you were being gender specific, which is why I started by addressing male-chivalry. If there's to be male-chivalry, then there should also be female-chivalry (two sides of a single coin). Like you said: reciprocation. Anyway, I fixed my earlier comment with this: it doesn't agree with the feminist ideology to insist on male-chivalry alone. If we want to be beneficiaries of chivalry (as social etiquette), then we must give it too.

But feminism isn't an excuse for men to stop being chivalrous. It's rather an invitation for women to be.
RomanceRe: Male Chivalry And Feminism: Are They Mutually Exclusive? by MissWrite(f):
Male chivalry? No. I think it would be unfair to insist on male chivalry alone; there's always an imbalance/inequality when you say "male this" or "female that". And this kind of inequality doesn't agree with the general feminist philosophy. Chivalry has a non-gender-specific definition, and it simply means showing kindness, respect and loyalty to people around you. Chivalry and feminism aren't mutually exclusive. The fact that women are (and want to be) self-determining creatures in society doesn't impede chivalrous behavior in any way. We give it and we take it.

We all deserve a little consideration from others, and that is exactly how we should all be with people: considerate. When I walk through a door in a public building, I hold it open for the person coming behind me (whether it's a man or a woman or a child) so it doesn't slam in their face. When someone drops their stuff and it falls at my feet, I pick it up for them (whether it's a man or a woman). When someone I'm with is trying to lift something heavy, I give them a hand. When I see someone who is greatly inconvenienced by standing (for whatever obvious condition: pregnancy, amputation, fatigue....), I give them my seat (whether it's a man or a woman).

It's nice when people are kind and courteous. But the vagina doesn't require more consideration than the penis in society (and vise-versa; Seun, kindly address this issue of biased censorship sad )so don't give your seat to someone simply because she's a woman.

However, in relationships, people tend to baby each other to make each other feel special, and that's okay. It's not anti-equality; it's a way to show affection. These little things are indicative of how much the other person cares and a mark of their attentiveness (and sometimes: possessiveness) towards their significant other. I would definitely sit myself down before my date has had the chance to pull up a chair for me; but if he sits down without an eye out to be sure that I've got a seat too, I would hold it against him. Bigly angry. And I would give equal consideration to him. I won't just sit down before I've made sure he's sorted out as well (even if I won't be the one hauling a chair over my head).

Men would want feminists to believe now that the old-fashioned male chivalry was all about women, but ugly lowly girls would remember history differently. And we know better too. Most guys wouldn't even have contemplated giving a lift, or giving up their seat, to a four-hundred pound woman even if she desperately needed to get off her feet. But that's okay, women are also less inclined to give favors to un-hot men; we live in a superficial world.

undecided. If you want to stay "tightly connected" with your husband, then just make sure he's very well endowed. Tiny dicks are short-term pleasure-sticks. If you're planning on having kids, don't expect petty pinky to grow into that situation.

Don't think of joysticks when you read these sentences, think about maturity and enlightenment.

Jupxter:
Godbless your wisdom ma. Now, assuming 90% of the males and the females are an extension of the larger society, what do you think will help?

I was in a fellowship 2011 and i can remember vividly the ministration was intense and i learnt 90% of the marriages of this generation will end in dovorce, 7 years later from the comments i read here i can begin to say it's dawning on the generation
What do I think would help? I don't know. When people aren't compatible, I wouldn't recommend they force the issue. So, maybe keep the divorce rate down by limiting marriages altogether? Let people do it only when they can't be without one another; when it adds genuine value to their lives, and not just because it's something to do before they turn 30.
