1. We are not all christians.

2. Feminism doesn’t mean the woman must work. Respect all women and their choices. If she is a housewife, that is fine, provided her and her husband are in agreement.

3. There are things that would always be considered male and female.

You haven’t stopped traveling to America to prove you are equal to the whites. Sorry to say, you and your kind are not making any sense.

AfroKnight:
You defined egalitarianism not feminism.

Feminists are not looking to even any scale. They are looking out for women only.

Their idea of success and fulfilment is incomplete if a man is not losing out or if they cannot favourable compare said success with that of a man.

As for what they should avoid, I agree. No man should be unfortunate to be married to a feminist, especially these Nigerian e-feminists A.K.A bitterleaf FC.
If you were close to me I'd buy you a bottle of beer for this nice post.

Nigerian feminists are an association of baby mamas, evening newspapers, those broken hearted and failed relationships and those who uses feminism to take their pound of flesh from men who jilted them in time past.

Feminism isn't about equality of both sexes

It's about female superiority. They want to be the superior gender. but that's never going to happen.

Feminism, in its original intended form, is an assertion that there should not be discrimination based on gender: women should not be judged on their ability to work, earn, lead, etc. solely based on their gender.

Though there are hotly debated and valid differences, I will equate feminism, womanism, and gender equality for the purpose of this discussion.

Feminism is why we have politicians, voters, doctors, astronauts, presidents, CEOs, professors, etc. who are women. It's why women can legally inherit property, leave abusive marriages, and pursue personal happiness.

To frame your acceptance of what I'm about to say: I would call myself a feminist, womanist, and a believer in gender equality; my mother was a founding member of Women in Nigeria back in early 80s so I was steeped in the history, reason, and difficulties of feminism in the Igbo, Nigerian, African, Western, and global contexts. I am a happily married man who appreciates and encourages his strong wife to attain all that she can. I don't feel threatened, and I respect her as a partner in decision making, though I confess I've had to put my foot down as a man on the rare occasion. As a woman, she appreciates and desires me to lead as her man with all the connotations it implies, but it doesn't mean she wants to be discriminated against, ignored, abused, or denied pursuit of happiness.

I would say my understanding of feminism is more about mutual self-respect between interdependent partners who complement each other.

Ironically, there has been a long history of gender eqality in Africa - to the point that most African women were far more independent and empowered in African societies in 1700s than their European counterparts. African women provided for their families (they farmed, taught, ran markets, protested, and were a visible voice in decision making in African societies long before American women could vote).

Toks2008:
Feminism is an ideology that believes in equality of all the sexes in all aspects and strata of life ...It is about both gender having equal rights and opportunities and as long as you believe in this ideology, you are a feminist whether you are a male or female.
But Feminism transcends beyond sex equality hence there is a deeper twist to this term Feminism and it is simply about a woman having total freedom to do what she wants without any form of inhibitions... it is about a woman having total independence in all facets of life and this is the true definition of Feminism.
If a man have have total independence without any inhibitions, why can't a woman? There have been many inhibitions placed on a woman simply because she is a woman, and objectively cannot be said to be fair. Feminism is a reaction to this.

Toks2008:

1. A FEMINIST SHOULD AVOID MARRIAGE : Except there is a different form of marriage asides the one institutionalized by the creator GOD almighty then i think any feminist who goes into marriage is on a wild goose chase or should just give up the ideology.

There is no way you can be a feminist and practise the submissiveness as commanded by GOD. A feminist does what she wants and she is not obliged to obey any man. The bible and even the Quran clearly state that the Husband is the head of the wife and a wife MUST SUBMIT AND OBEY HER HUSBAND. This is a total deviation from the ideology of feminism and any feminist who is married is not a true feminist.
This of course conveniently avoids the fact that these books were written from a male point of view - I find even the concept of God being male quite odd since we're restricting an omnipresent being to needing to have a gender. It reflects more the limitations in the minds of people than the actual reality. The bible also suggests/supports a lot of things that we now consider archaic, so I wouldn't be quick to use it as a reference for what should be in today's society. But that aside, ever hear the expression: "the man may be the head, but the woman is the neck?" Can't do much without the neck and head both agreeing to turn. I view marriage in that light: it's a partnership where men too should participate in give-and-take.

Toks2008:

2. A FEMINIST MUST NEVER DEPEND ON ANY MAN FINANCIALLY: You can't be a feminist and still want a man to pay your bills...a feminist makes her own money 100% and will never at any point depend partly or totally on any man for money. After all, financial independence is a core attribute of a feminist.
No argument here... this is just a classic case of eating your cake and having it. With anything and any movement, most people will take all the positives, and not want to take on the negatives: e.g. some women complain that men are no longer chivalrous because of equality, conveniently forgetting that chivalry was strong when women couldn't own property, vote, lead societies, and if you go back far enough in Western society, didn't even posses souls.


Toks2008:

3. A FEMINIST SHOULD NEVER TURN DOWN ANY TASK OR JOB WITH AN EXCUSE THAT IT IS A MAN'S THING:
It is all about equality so there is no job designated for the men, a feminist should be able to take up any task no matter how manly it appears and any lady who believes in the feminism ideology yet shies away from certain tasks with an excuse that it is a man's thing should simply give up the ideology.
However, we can't ignore basic biology that there are some things women can't (or were not trained to, or would rather not) do; conversely, there are some things men cannot do (or are not naturally disposed to doing).

Well, the main thrust of feminism is that it gives both genders the same opportunities to choose what they want to do - in education, employment, having a voice in society. We should not ignore the inequalities that keep half the population oppressed because of a few idiosyncrasies.

There's nothing wrong with feminism as a social movement, especially when it propagates fairness for all. There's, however, a problem with crass, self-absorbing, and opportunistic women who identify with the movement, same as those who do not identify with it. Feminism or its male equivalent red pill isn't the problem, but the toxic individuals who identify with it and uses it to gloss their toxicity.

Love is the greatest refreshment in life.

Nice one. The truth is that there is no big deal if any lady chooses the path of feminism... I just hate it when a lady wants to have her cake and still eat it.

You can't be acting like a feminist in a relationship and still expect to be treated like a traditional lady.

I will not argue this with you any further.

The Internet is your friend.. Use it.

Weak.

You don’t just lift definitions because they sound lofty. Feminists are not egalitarian as evidenced by interactions.

One broad example: demanding statutory representation on boards and in political offices is anything but egalitarian because it is essentially jumping the queue. Merit is thrown out the window.

Another example: Sports.
There have been agitations for the US female “soccer” team to enjoy equal pay with men however they don’t care that their games generate far less revenue. All they want is the same pay for less effort and less economic value. That is not egalitarian. That is unfair. That is overvalued nonsense. But that’s what feminists want.

Interestingly they don’t fight for equal representation in construction sites as “labourers” and bricklayers. Or even the armed forces.

They also do not care about the huge pay gap between male and female fashion models.

How is that egalitarian?
