I don't think you know the meaning of fallacy. So why don't men become nurses which is in high demand instead of being unemployed? Nursing is a JOB and there is no part of it a man can't do very well. It is not the job, it is tradition and societal conditioning and expectations - same things that have women excluded from so many career paths in Nigerian society. It is like saying all one needs is pass an exam to get in - ignoring that some people have been systemically programmed to fail the exam or not even apply to take the exam. Evidence of systemic exclusion is in the result


many men are not nurses not becos culture or society or anything is hindering them but becos most men are not wired that way in the end.. its called eventual outcome....even if many men study nursing today, you will eventually find many of them going into something else....
we have more male engineers today becos of the way men are wired, not because someone hindered women....in fact half the few women in engineering today will still somehow end up as makeup artist or dealer in women and baby clothing....why..."eventual outcome"

. so if you like give all the women scholarship in the world to study engineering for free(its great).....i tell u ..u will still have more men in engineering and practicing it at the end because u cant force equality of eventual outcome, no matter how much u force equality of opportunities..... men and women are not wired by nature the same way.........

How is the north an isolated case when their population is almost a third of the country . A country of over 200 million people?

Because no one stopped you from going to school and getting a job doesn’t mean inequality has stopped being a problem in Nigeria.



It still remains sectional, because it's not the reality in the entire county.

And if the North is the reason people still scream women marginalisation today, then the narrative should be framed correctly, as "marginalisation of the girl-child in the north."

They respond by telling you that women are not really marginalized, but the reason they can't aspire to certain things is because they've been conditioned NOT to.

Such blatant lack of personal responsibility for their own lives being masqueraded as feminism and women's rights.

You are ridiculously wrong and easily proven so. You forget Nigeria is not the only country in the world. In some societies there are almost same number of male and female doctors and nurses, and more and more men going into nursing due to corona. What prevents Nigerian men from entering an in-denand field like nursing. Therin lies your answer.(We know from other societies that it is not "male wiring"wink

Oh I gave you an example and suddenly it doesn’t apply.

The people who don’t know y’all’s gaslighting techniques na the people I dey pity.
If it’s happening right in front of you, you will still deny and try to make anyone who talks about it out to be a liar.

Relative to your present world, can your sisters inherit your father’s property that is located in the family compound passed down from great grandfather to grandfather to your father?
Because if yours can, in many parts of Nigeria, others cannot. Even though there’s no law that prevents women from inheritance, it still happens which means the law is not the problem but the underlying mindset and beliefs about women’s place in society.

Is that relative enough for your present world? Or do you need more examples so that you can gaslight your way out of acknowledging the truth?



c'mon we both know the example did not match our present world, no matter how good we are at denying, trust me a current reference would have shut our camp gas off grin

Dear pseudo-feminists, please learn to differentiate between cultural issues and social issues.

You can try to solve the later by associating with a movement and cause the movement to gain enough traction (outside the internet BTW) that might bring about change.

The former however can ONLY be solved by dismantling traditions (also outside the internet), not through meaningless social media posturing.

What is the point of sending a female child to school and empowering her if at the end of it all she still feels marginalised.

Right from my primary school in the early 90's till this point I always competit with ladies on the same level ground...nothing was given to me freely because am a man.
Is really annoying that people like ini edo and co will always come out to play the same old card of African female child/women are marginalised....this am a woman change is a total nonsense because is fellow women that mocks themselves.

I will be analysing every sector and section of social life to prove this old lies wrong

Education
Just take a look around you and tell me which female child is actually stopped from going to school because of her gender......Right from my primary school untill university there were more female student than the male......we receive the same quality of Education so were the marginalisation??

Work/job
Currently in nigeria is easy for a woman to get a job than a man.....Apart from the engineering sector which is dominated by the male most sector is dominated by the female(banks,medical,hotels,entertainment)...so were the marginalisation.

Politics
Nobody gifts anyone an elective post anywhere in the world rather you fight for it....Men fight for it with blood and sweat so if a woman wants to hold this post she must be ready to fight not expecting to be handed over on a platter.
If a woman should come out to contest for elective post in this country even her fellow women won't vote for her....so were is the marginalisation

Entertainment
Is no news apart from music which men dominant the movie industry is dominated by the female who make more money than the male....people like ini edo won't question why they are paid more than there male colleagues in the same profession.

Relationship/marriage
Today in nigeria if you can not provide for your family u are useless man.....even in ordinary relationship a lady will expect you to provide things she needs..No money No love yet they still complain and play victim card.
They can't date broke guys but will expect well to do guys to date a lady who can't even do a 1k sub for herself......they only have the right to choose but not men......were is the marginalisation

In marriage you pay to marry her,you provide shelter, food,clothing etc...if the marriage crash you pay child support.....A full adult totally dependent on another and still feel she meant to be equal with him......were is the marginalisation


State and federal government pays equally to both gender on the same level
Private sector pays equally to both gender on the same level.

I have a lil sis.....there was nothing I enjoy or had that she didn't get from our parent.....I challenge any lady here to tell me how she was treated inferior to her brothers.

What is the point of sending a female child to school from primary to higher institution and at the end of the day she will be totally dependent on the man and will always feel she isn't given enough to be independent.

The moment we start debunking the lies and stop victim mentality the better for the next generation of girls.....this lies is the reason why most our ladies are unproductive and lazy.

Help the female child by letting her know she can do it on her own.....she can competit and no one can stop her except herself.

Women stop spreading the message of victim mentality/marginalisation to our girls this 2021 not 1960.

To allude women's decision to not aspire to certain positions and heights to societal conditioning is just too intangible.

How can that be measured?


How have you reached that conclusion?

So if a woman says "I'm not running for the office of the President because society doesn't expect me to" do you think she still has any right to scream marginalisation?

No, she doesn't. Because her limitation is in her head, and there is nothing in the real sense stopping her from breaking free of it.

I am not talking about Nigeria alone.. and u are the one lying cos u don't have statistics to back your erronous claim that there are equal men and women in nursing..

There are more female nurses than male everywhere in the world..united state has the highest..and it just grew to a mere 12% recently, according to the bereau of labour statistics....just as there are more male in engineering than women...
u think women don't study engineering...they eventually leave and end up doing other things...

The equality of opportunity is fine...that's acheivable... But U can't force out individual or group outcome...that's a fact ....

If u like seff...prevent men from contesting for the next election... The love women have for family will prevent many of them from remaining in politics for long...how many women have risk apetite like tinubu, like ffk, like fayose, oshiomole...

Women will tell u men marginalize them ..but the good heart and caring soul they are wired with more than men is mostly why they won't leave family and chase career full speed..

Give a man a 1.5million naira manager job in maidugurii and he will not think twice before leaving his family... Give a woman the same job and she will remember her kids first cos she won't even want to leave her kids with anyone ...not even her husband..

You would think only men are Keen on trivializing women matters. This is like some women trivializing labor pains, because they never went through it. Just as all men would claim it is women playing victim.
It doesn't invalidate the experiences of those who are also mother's but went through it. It doesn't mean they are lazy or incapable of childbirth, too.

Some women forget that it is men who created those experiences for other women, and that they have never come across it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This is like saying fgm is untrue and victim playing.

Working with men sometimes means you don't get real opportunities even when you're clearly fit and more intelligent than they are. That certain women don't experience that is fine, but to say those who have met it a lot are not in control of their lives is pushing it far. Sometimes it's only if your parents can give you that post that you will have it, otherwise men out there wouldn't let it happen for sentimental gender reasons.

There's many explanations for that. Here's a few:

1. Parents think that despite sexism, males are dūmb and easily manipulated and would rather invest in the girl.

2. Society is so sexist that many girls feel it's education or pure suffering, so they work harder than any man.

3. Parents know a male can fail upwards because of sexism, but women don't have that luxury.

I don't believe I've had a personal conversation with you on this matter.

I'm trying to understand why you're personalising it.

Why are you asking me if I have more personal responsibility for my life than Ini Edo does?

Why have you framed the emboldened as though it were a thing I said? It doesn't buttress the point, because you can't know if that's the perspective I view this matter from.


You also can't say I don't have better initiative or more personal accountability than the outspoken women who chose to talk about the issue, because you don't know this.

And very importantly, the original discourse is in no way a comparison. The affirmations and comparisons you're making, where do they stem from?


You've chosen to personalise a very general discourse, and the message is lost on me.

Are we talking about me versus a certain group of people now?

I thought the discussion was simply about not generally understanding the crux of the matter when women say they're marginalised. undecided

That's what I would love to know.

Conduct an interview and stop making assumptions. Even the way most of you comment here, looking down on opinions of women is a sure sign that you don't want women to speak or be heard or seen. You would prefer yourselves instead.

Anyway, do the interview on hardworking women who achieve their dreams and goals. Ask them how they got there, if there was any marginalization, etc.
