Don't let her take it to the extreme, let it be balanced.

Reason why I don't like feminist is that the advise other ladies not to tolerate from their husbands while most of them treat their husbands as kings.

etrange:
She deserves a smarter elder brother.

THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Lol... Leave her. She will learn at times goes by.

Rhimat:
Feminism will brainwash her mind she will never be submissive to her husband,she will become very stubborn ,you need to advice her.

kingxsamz:
Sounds like your last born is very intelligent and has a great future ahead of her. You on the other hand need a great knock on the head for thinking there's anything wrong with her in the first place.

Whether she ends up calling herself a feminist or not, I just know she has a good head on her shoulder and I'm already in awe of her.

Look at them all convulsing like they have epilepsy on the thread.


"Hustle Kingdoms" are springing up everywhere, drug abuse is over the roof, and violent crimes, insecurity and food inflation is spiraling out of control, but it's a young girl being a feminist y'all know how to pour your energies on. Such an unserious bunch.

BloodyDoe:
I don’t see any problem here, what’s wrong against advocating for women’s right. Feminism as it is, is the political and economic liberation of women all over the world and we need more women, young girls to wake and stand against all form of gender segregation and stereotypes against women.

Feminism is not a woman refusing to cook for her husband or whatever you think it is. It is both men and women standing on equal grounds in the society.

Will both of them also go to war on equal footing? How many Ukrainian and Russian women are at the war front?

At OP, allow your sister to flex her imagination. She is just 16.

She will learn as time goes on. We have seen several cases, as they age, common sense finds them and they become ideologically pliable.

Gerrard59:


Allow her be. Young people tend to be very liberal, but as they become older, they become more conservative. I was like that, I was a big champion of feminism during my early days on Nairaland. However, as I grew older and understood the differences between men and women, I changed my stance.

The koko would be are would-be friends. That is where the issue comes from.

I see.


Thank God life is not a one-way street sha.


Because if this even was generally true, we wouldn't have any old bitter witches that are set in their ways and inspiring and influencing us younger ones that we're thankful for now.

cococandy:
I don’t know about Linda but when did Tonto and Toke ever tell you that they’re feminists?

You just see women looking good on the internet out of your reach and conclude they are feminists?

That being said, what’s the measure of misery in any of these ladies? Who says they are not happy?

Is that another one of the lies you tell yourselves to make yourselves feel good about them not wanting you?

There are stupid male celebrities that make a fool of themselves every now and then, from Samklef to Black faze to Drake and Kendrick Lamar recent beef, but when you're blinded by agenda, you can not see anything else contrary to it.

Beverlyjean:


Feminism has destroyed more women ...go and do ur research and stop fooling urself....

You're the one fooling yourself and your fellow idiotic redpillers who believe you're female. Feminism is no way as toxic as the red pill movement which has destroyed more families than feminism ever will. That should bother you than anybody wanting to be a feminist.

1Sharon:
I hope you're not a red pillar or you'll be a very big hypocrite. Feminism and the red pill are two sides of the same coin. Both are foreign Western ideologies that weren't birthed in Africa.

And, assuming this is true?


There are so many things we do, say, eat, and practice in modern-day Africa that aren't indigenous to us and it's no problem?


So unless you're just saying this for the sake of saying, or you're saying it to mean that it has no basis because it's "foreign?"

givedemwotowoto:
I am not the only one complaining here so stop throwing stones while living in a glass house

You people that believe in gender roles and tradition and conservative ideals are in the MAJORITY. Yes, even in developed worlds.


So stop exaggerating your issues and simply find each other to date!


If you have a bad character, you have a bad character. If you don't have wife or husband head, then you don't have it. Leave innocent feminism out of it.

I don't understand the OP.

Your sister's explanation of what she wants to become as a feminist is even brighter than what your understanding of the word is.

Sure you aren't the one who needs help?

Feminism is not toxic as u foolishly deceive urself but since it came to light in the 70s , we now have the highest divorce rate , highest abortion rate , highest number of baby mamas , highest number of prostitution, highest number of women suffering depression , highest number of unmarried women in the 30s and above...In the history of mankind, we have never had it this bad ... being a woman dont mean I should support rubbish just like u people do... I repeat...feminism is a curse on mankind , and its the devil's game plan to destroy the world .... same way he used Eve to bring in sin into the world

@bold:

I thought men and women are the same

Oh, but they are.

Are men humans and women animals? Do women have air floating in the skulls, and men don't? Or women stool through their vaginas and men through their joysticks? Abi women are sub-standard/inferior beings? Or maybe it is your understanding of sameness that differs from the meaning of sameness that feminists talk about.

Gerrard59:
Most feminist miscreants on social media do so for funding/donations purposes, clout chasing and the likes. Most don't practice what they preach. Everybody dey find one hustle or the other.

As for the sexual liberalism, yes, it's men, especially well-to-do men that benefit from it. Biologically, men are comfortable with having lots of sexual intercourse. So when women are encouraged to deliver milk without the need for the buyer to cater to the cows or ranch, why wouldn't men benefit from it? Free milk o without caring where the cows are cared for or the ranch is protected.

So you honestly think women who "kept the milk" are treated much more better than the ones who don't? When women used to "keep the milk" in the past, they were better off than women today in every way? Lmao. It's one thing to speak against sexual promiscuity, but to make it seem as if sexual purity benefitted women, collectively, is another. Like men were not having concubines and street prostitutes they patronise on the side.

Sharrap! You have not answered my question, all you're doing is type all sorts of gibberish like an imbëcile. Go through the romance section and look at the number of toxic anti-female to your fellow men create on a daily basis. Now compare that to the number of anti-male topics created by supposed feminists, who are the toxic ones here.

Your problem is your hypocrisy, you and your fellow men criticise in women what you overlook or justify in men. Going by toxicity, you red pill people have been proven to be more bitter and toxic than the so-called feminists you always accuse of bitterness. My last reply to you

Men and women abide by 2 different set of rules ...but ur stubborn goat head will never allow u have sense ... u can keep on lying to urself ... u can't deny known facts ... so u can keep on living in delusion ... it's not a competition between men and women....its pure reality ... so u can keep on journeying thru ur delusion

joemag:
I recently went home to check on my parents. It happens that our lastborn who is in a boarding school also was around for a week break they were given at school.

On one of the evenings as I was talking to her and her dreams and aspirations this 16 old girl told me she wanted to become a Feminist. I was shocked but remained calm and gently asked her what she meant by being a Feminist.
She told me that by that she aims to become an advocate of women's right. She started narrating how men are domesticating women and whole lots.
I was marvelled at her passion and zeal and how convincing she was .
Deep down I knew that I have a problem to solve and I needs pragmatic steps in order not to cause more harms.

This girl has written her JAMB with nice scores and will soon be in the varsity.

Please, is there anyone with concrete approach on how I will go about this?

I think you should allow your sister follow her dream of becoming a feminist/ an advocate of women's right. She may end up reading law in the university or floating a human right programme on the media. I don't think you have any problem. All you need to do is to support her.

If I had my way, I would pass laws making men and women equal. Conscription would be directly proportional to population of both men and women. Consequently, more women would be at the war fronts. But then, women would enjoy other privileges due to equality. Any man or woman that rejects lawful conscription would be tried for treason.

Martinez39s:
All OP needs to do is tell her that she is not a victim; men are not oppressing women; men and women have equal rights; and her choices are not to be blamed on anyone else. She should own her life and encourage women in the spirit of her activism to stop playing victims.

Sooooo...right back to feminism. Is there a rule book you're reading from that said the girl in question cannot believe in the above and still call herself a feminist?

Or speak out on behalf of other women -- if her reality is different from one of victimhood?

Sharia laws have ceased to exist? Rape culture is no more a thing? Domestic) GB violence and child marriage nko?

One time when a girl made a tweet about how she refused to cook for her dad/brothers, it went viral and men from different countries were sending her death threats.


And it's funny to me when y'all anti-feminists want to talk, you'll say feminists have a penchant for nitpicking on minute stuff when there are systemic issues to address instead of who washes and cooks. But when they bring up the big matters like you requested, you'll say they are making it up.

Your own time don pass.
Na those your innocent daughters you wan brainwash with your ideologies I dey pity

folake4u:


THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

dumb ass failed lawyer.

Joemag, see weytin u don cause.

SmartyPants:


Of course the law is enforced If you play your part by bringing these issues to the law, the justice mechanisms will do the rest If you insist, kindly share cases where abuses were reported and the law was not enforced.

Are you being for real right now?

Eunoiaa:

His grudge is that feminism is birthed by western education. The red pill is no different if he's into that ideology.

As if you know. She has chosen law as her most preferred course of choice.

Even the patriachy, as we know it today, was forced on us by colonial masters.

joemag:

So, why you con here cause this gender war na?

She has a dream to challenge a social problem, which exist and is following the right path to achieve that dream. What's the PROBLEM?

There's differences between "feminist" that wants high body count and wear blankets to public spaces, and dress "freely," and "Feminist" who want to tackle social inequalities concerning women.

Eunoiaa:

Men & women are equal in worth; created in the image & likeness of God; have the Spirit of God etc. There is nothing same about them; they are created for different purposes; have different functions and as such cannot compare themselves.

5 & 6 are equally numbers; yet, 5 or 6 do not need to benchmark themselves with one other or other numbers to know their worth.

Only women who think men are superior need to benchmark themselves with men.

Frankly, today, when I hear a woman is a feminist & starts telling me how men are yada yada yada, women are bla bla bla, I hear a woman who inherently believes she is inferior.

I imagine the Oni of Ife comparing himself to the Oba of Benin or trying to prove they are equals or Minister of Power trying to prove he is same with Minister of Foreign affairs.

Honestly, everyone dey find hustle; may they get blessings from it.

As long as they don't force anyone to buy it, more power to them.

I frankly don't know how a woman who understands how a woman's body and womanhood works believe that you can sexually compete with a man. Like how?
