Feminism was becoming a serious topic until a group of Nigerian hos (especially from Nairaland) joined the wagon. Unknown things like Sapphiere think they're feminists by attacking men regularly, and some others think feminism is all about female domination. The most useless ones among them believe they don't need to work as long as they have men around them.
To understand true feminism listen to Hilary Clinton and avoid Nigerian hos.

Two misogynists disagree on what feminism is. Neither knows what it is.

One supports male masturbation in public vehicles, the other is just after the red pill. Nigerian men at it.

Working don’t have to be on a full time meaning don’t bring that excuse of you can’t work because of this and that. So if God forbid he fall sick or he becomes disabled you won’t survive. Taking care of the kids is a job of you two also. Always find time to work and train kids. You chose to be married and to be a parent. Take responsibility.

And for their sexual satisfaction, I think they can also do well to avoid any sex organ/object that resembles the male sexual organ. And there must be no penetration what so ever, because that will be imitating the work of the male organ.

Totally wrong.

Feminism doesn’t care about a fair world but only the the advancement of women. Don’t be deceived. By their fruit you shall know them.

They are always in contention even over the smallest things.



Op u understand what feminism really is, is not about men and women being equal, feminism is a nice name for "Women supremacy" the other guy talking about egalitarianism isn't well in the know! Feminism doesn't really want t create level playing field for gender but to emasculate men, they want a situation where jobs are given just for being a woman! They don't care if u re qualified for it or not, NOI has already started it! That's wat u get when feminists get on top, they empower women and emasculate men which isn't feminism, feminism to them is advancing women rights no matter the circumstances, looking out for women at the detriment of men, if a woman is accuses a man of rape they don't care to know if its true or not, there own is to protect women weda right or wrong! Today's women's feminism is a Misandrist movement and a hate crime against men!!!! Don't be deceived!

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 favourably compare said success with that of a man.

You’re very right. Women that started feminist movement we’re even married and blessed. It was never about men. It was about women having their own voice..

Men of the very Olden days used women like scumbags & since they had zero power, they didn’t have a voice..

Now feminist evolved to cure that. They didn’t want any equality self, just women should be treated with with fairness..

Generations by generations, different bittered women evolved and twisted it. Here we’re today, I don’t even think feminist are fighting for women anymore, it’s now all about men..

The real feminist movement is dead long time ago.. Reasonable women are not so into it anymore since the goal has been changed..

Nobody wants to associate with bitterness..

If men had not subjugated women in the first place,there would have been no need for an ideology such as Feminism.

,
Women are forced to abandon their academic ambitions,so that they can marry on time and not become 'an evening newspaper';a cliche commonly used by anti-feminist men here on nairaland.....

When she gets married,she is forced to stay in an abusive marriage.why? because no one will take care of her children... because of the shame of returning to her father's house or living on her own and be labelled a loose woman.... because of the men out there who see it as their duty to exploit unmarried women....

At work,she will be accused of using 'bottom power' even when she has worked hard and deserves the promotion...

So,you see these and many more are the pains of a woman..

If you CANNOT BEAR a woman's CROSS,LET HER BE with her Feminism!!!!

What some women go through,all in the name of being a weaker vessel;a lesser being; most men will never understand,only a woman can.

As for me, I stand with females!!!!

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).


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.


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.


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.



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.


This is woke, why do leftists all sound the same with similar argument patterns grin

Lol all of you will be fine, the earlier you guys realise that a female movement is for the betterment and inclusion of females in every sphere of life, the better for you.

A movement that is not even recognised in Nigeria, is what is giving most of y'all heart attack like the government is about adding it into the constitution when there are so many ills in the country right now, yet you people keep crying and wailing over it, concern yourselves in getting solutions to the negativities everywhere, then when or if feminism sees the light of day, your wailing may be heard, which is actually never cos of the high handedness of naija men and religion.

While you do what? We should concern ourselves with the happening in Nigeria while you ....

Contribute constructively, no body is crying about anyone, to think your gender can have four of you sleep with one man at the same time without shame sharing one man's cock for money � and you are talking about feminist! Madame take loud � speaker and educate your gender first.

There's no way in hell I am sharing a woman with another man not to talk of on the same bed, I can bet you your gender is having a field day as we type.
