Na wetin make me no do feminism again.

Before 2015/6, I was a staunch defender of feminism on Nairaland. E get one post like that I defended feminism, dem nearly chew me raw. I stood gidigba. Until Donald Trump's ascendancy to the White House and the #MeToo events that made me change my stance. The logic wasn't logicing again. You cannot ask for equal pay but shun jobs that are characterised by long hours, which pay more. You cannot demand privileges and preferential treatment whereas your male contemporaries are mandated to serve the country, thereby putting them on the back foot in terms of career and education (Singapore and South Korea). Now, both countries have low birth rates. OK, born so that the country's population fit grow. Una say no even after all the economic opportunities the men have set in place and orderly society they have built. You say men are paid more, but you focus on niche sectors. How about demand for parity in welding and firefighting? Why focus on tech and corporate jobs? To put off fire no be work? Rather than focus on equality of opportunities, you focus on equality of outcomes. Na that one dey vex me pass.



LOL!

Women are hypergamous. At the end of the day, you as the man is expected to earn more than she does. In situations where she brings something close to 50% (it is never exactly 50%), she will become more assertive which many of our African men cannot stand with. To be fair, this is expected because when someone contributes a significant amount of money into a venture, that person seeks for more control/power.

Lastly, Nigerian feminism dey learn work for where Western feminism dey. The new wave of feminism is one of the major reasons why marriage rates have plummeted. The cost of living, especially housing, is another major factor.

Tenrack:

Really? I doubt that. Ask Englishmart and Smeagol abi what's that one's monicker self

and you want to earn higher than a civil engineer who works 10 hours daily as opposed to your 4 hours of[b] acute lethargy[/b]? Make it make sense.

Well said OP...

Some people believe that having a hole in-between their legs makes them entitled to certain privileges ...

You can't be demanding equal pay and yet not be willing to put in equal work, it just doesn't make sense ...

Nigerian feminist are just a bunch of bitter entitled and lazy women who want twice the pay for half the work that they still won't do well ...

InfinityFabric:
Abeg leave our lazy to/for work girls alone, we like them like that. And to be honest, God didn't create them to work, it's an anomaly... thanks to FEMINISM.

englishmart:
Feminism, according to Oxford English mini, is
social theory or political movement which argues that legal and social restrictions on women must be removed in order to bring about equality of the sexes in all aspects of public and private life.

Feminism makes sense if it's combating crimes and suppressions against women. Like child marriage, sex trafficking, sex for grades, deprivation from education, land disinheritance, etc.

Nigerian feminists are more concerned with pulling men down at every single chance they get. You don't get even by eliminating the odds, you get even by stepping up.

Feminism in Nigeria is a bandwagon movement centred around benefits without work.
How many women are in battlefields, fighting to defend their country? 99% of military casualties are men. 90% of plumbers, bricklayers, carpenters, cabinetmakers, and every tough artisan job are men's.

No job is a man's job. It's either you can do the job or you can't. More than 90% of risky jobs are men's job. How many women firefighters are there? The female ones stay in the office, while the male ones face excruciating pains fighting to put out a fire, while some die in the process.

Try dey read your bible, e get why ...

mrrandomguy:
Mr Man or whatever the gender you identify as, feminism (whether Nigerian or Cameroonian feminism) is all about pulling men down, making men miserable, and breaking men in any way and every way possible. Don't ever believe the definition they give it in any dictionary. The earlier you know this the better.
And by the way, the tough risky jobs should still be left for the men. Men should man up and put women where they belong. Stop telling women to become firefighters. In case you don't know, the moment they start doing these risky jobs and succeeding, that is the end of your happiness as men. That is when you will know that men are scum. The reason the movement has come this far is because men like you are ignorantly encouraging women to take over your responsibilities.

Imagine thinking everyone will subscribe to the scam called Christianity - religion of Paul.
