Feminism isn't a gender.
I know it's not a gender
Lol...was wondering why you made an analogy between feminism and men

Anyhow....
They are fighting for equality. Misandry isn't allowed but you can't stop anybody from being a feminist.

Misandry is "men hating" and it doesn't make sense for any misandry to be anti-feminist.
So, it's not all feminists that are "men hater".
still unclear but I appreciate your efforts to explain

Just like in Alpha and Beta men.
All misogynists are Alpha men i.e a fact.
But, not all Alpha men are misogynist.
This is clear

I'm off for class.

That's why I typed;
Misandry equals feminism.
But feminism doesn't equal misandry.

Misogynists equals men but not all men are misogynist.
Can you explain this
Are you saying misandry is allowed in feminism

Is feminism a gender now?

I get all men not being misogynistic

Thanks much..

However, with the comments about walking away on this thread, i just realised maybe this woman doesnt like me much. Met her just once and it wasnt a wonderful experience...

Thanks once again..
I think It is too premature for that conclusion as you don't know her so well

Is your fiancé an only child?

My mum.wasnt happy but what could she have done??
My dad doesnt like talking about his folks, tried asking but got tired at some point, because its always gon be go to your room kinda answer.
I wasnt bothered while i was young because i had my maternal folks to look onto, i only asked him when i noticed his folks never visited unlike my mums'.
Ok.. at least she was not the me and my husband type of woman
Maybe she should have still reached out though but that is neither here nor there as water has passed under the bridge


Reaching out? Talked with my dad this morning and he asked me to tell my MIL that everything would take place here or she should forget about having any trad marriage.. So i do not think that he wants any sort of reconciliation..
So in even in his old age, he wants no reconciliation with his aged parents and will jeopardise his daughter's chances of happiness

OK

I reiterate however: There is nothing wrong in doing Trad in the fathers place
Children are named through the fathers in Africa
Modernity is why mothers family has so much influence nowadays

Even among the Igbos if I remember correctly, Okonkwo was exiled after the death of his adopted son and spent those years in his mom's place
It was not his first choice

Even in the Bible
Jacob married in his mothers place (Laban) because he has committed a grave sin against his brother

Marrying in your mothers traditional place is not the ideal

I wish you the best however

OluwaChinenyenwa:
My father's family cant be involved cause they don't even know me.. The rift was between my father and his folks. Ok this is it, my father is the only child. During his service year, he met my mum who is igbo and stuffs led to stuffs and they started talking about marriage which his father refused because mum is igbo.. His father cut him off when he finally got married to my mum and its been that way till date. Never been to my dad's place, dont even know where the place is cause he doesnt even talk about it..
The infos i got was from my mum.


My parents would like to do the traditional marriage only if its going to be in London, but my MIL said she wants us to come back home?? Isnt that absurd??
An only child dilemma...

Has your father made any moves over the years to reach out to his father and mom and what was the result of such overtures

Your mum gave u an account //// Have u asked your dad

Did your mum ever attempt to reach out to her inlaws knowing she was married to an only child or she was happy with the state of things

Speak to your father

This may be the opportunity for him to reach out after all these years

There is nothing absurd in holding trad at home
Family › Re: Soon To Be Mother In Law Insists On Traditional Marriage!!! by pickabeau1:
There is a lot being unsaid

Traditional marriage is a rich expression of culture

Why don't your parents want to do traditional marriage

Why should your fathers family not be involved in giving out their daughter

Why should a rift caused by ur fathers marriage choice years ago still be relevant today


Is your father a proud man

Are you talking about his extended or nuclear family ( your uncles an aunts)

GUYS, especially brothers wey dey obodo oyinmbo, don't ever let a girlf friend come live with you O.
Because when it's time for them to go, the law treats that shiit just like divorce.

A woman living with you here after 3 months automatically becomes a common law situation. You don't even have to sign papers or nothing.

Talkless of now entering that kind of wahala with a girl that can't cook!!!

well the citizens can raise up funds for the army. Donations for a non govt organization and ensure that the families of the dead or wounded soldiers don't lack. This would serve as a counter insurgent approach. I'm still thinking though but they should try something like this.
Raise funds is good but cannot work here in a country with high poverty coupled with a general mistrust of an army which kept the people under its boots for 30 plus years


Donation to NGOs is good

more partnership with our neighbors and focus our resources in getting the girls. Employing experienced tactical strategist from advanced countries with similar experience like the states and Israel.

MadCow1:
Op.

Once upon a time, I would have opened a thread like this because I honestly believed it to be true but look at me now..

I have dated 3 single mothers and they were amongst the best relationships I ever had. The stories behind the babies ranged from r-ape at the age of 15 to juvenile delinquency that resulted in a pregnancy. I am older now and understand the complexities of the world a little better now that is why i advocate legalization of abortion cos some of these girls would have aborted these babies if they could do it legally and safely.

However I will address your post for what it is.

The reason is seems like single mothers don't find suitors are as follows;

1. The single mothers themselves.. If the women let's herself go just because she is a single mother, then she only has herself to blame for not attracting ant suitors. In fact whether she is a mother or not, if she does not packages herself to be attractive, she will not attract anyone. Some women just wallow in self pity or what have you and just let themselves go. They are not attractive, don't seem to be pushing themselves to achieve any goals and tend to blame their situation on the kid.

2. Only a handful of men and mostly boys have this mentality of not marrying single mothers. I use to be one of them, then I grew up.

3. For the handful of guys who hold this line of thought, it is based mostly on the fact that they would have to raise another man's child. Also that child would always be the elephant in the room in that relationship and the child is very likely to complicate the marriage. Issues with regards to discipline, love, respect and more are issues that make most guys who hold this view abstain from marrying a single mother. Another key reason is also acceptance by extended family members like his mother and co. These I believe are the reasons why the few guys who feel this way would rather not marry a single mother and I can't fault them as such.


To the single mothers; You are seen by men as what you present yourself to be. If you see having a child out of wedlock as a problem then that's what that child would be. Men (not boys) mostly don't care about such especially when the mother has a good head on her shoulder and seems to be doing very well for herself and her kid. My advice to you is simply to accept the child as a part of your life which they are and start pursuing a future for them. Raise the child well so their attitude isn't appalling to your dates. Take care of yourself and look as sweet and sexy as possible. Be focused and watch men fall all around you.


Shout out to Dyt. If we were in a different place and time, you would be my other wife and I would nickname you Wiggles... grin
You said all the right things..bro
However you dated 3 single mom's and married none.....right?
