faith551: Your father doesn't represent African men as a whole just like White men divorcing their wives doesn't represent America. . We need to stop making silly generationalizations to make our points "fact". Who is the authority of divorce tally keeper glibally? Just because celebrities publicize their divorces and average Africans don't means nothing! Africans would rather kill than to leave or have concubine to avoid divorce! Bullshit! Why would anyone stay in a lifeless marriage is beyond me! I know several Africans who are married and living with other people for the sake of, not being divorce! They are sleeping in separate rooms and living their own lives as roommates but they are married! Many of those divorced white womwn are being used by married African men! Ironic!

MrsChima: - In the West employment are gained by merit and has nothing to do with gender. Same with Nigeria - In politics women have a level playing field as the men. Likewise Nigeria. - In business and corporations there's no restriction of the position on which a woman can be promoted once she meets the requirements. Likewise Nigeria. - In religion, especially Christianity, women are free to become pastors and deacons and its same for Nigeria. And it's same for for other sectors. - In the West, however, in the domestic fronts women are more empowered than the men. Whenever there's a feud between a couple, the laws have been structured to give the woman the benefit of the doubts and in the event of a separation the man is usually kicked out of his home while the woman stays with the kids. The woman also gets a huge chunk of his wealth if alimony cases are filed. Where's the inequality in the West?. The African feminism should come clean and tell us where they seek for an equality in the society apart from the domestic front. Don't we have top bankers, entrepreneurs, and women in top corporations in Nigeria?. Why weren't they restricted from attaining those heights?. Does the African woman seek equality and want laws that would enable them suppress the man at the home front, kick him out of his home and also sue for alimony and fraudulently acquire his wealth?. Nonsense upon nonsense! 2 Likes 1 Share |

ronald4lif: I actually think men are the victims of hysteria and paranoia! Feminism is not a new movement just do you know. Feminism fought since the beginning of western civilization where women did NOT have rights. They were viewed as maids and cumbuckets to rich men. Women weren't allowed to vote or obtain formal education! Women weren't allowed to express political views unless her husband grant her the permission under his supervision! If a wife was divorced she received nothing BUT she isn't allowed to work outside the home to fend for herself! She was dependent on a man and if he didn't care about herself she was flicked! Feminism empowers women to get out and get yours and your husband can't care of you if hr is feet under! |

faith551:Don't include atheism. I don't see anything wrong with questioning these laughable doctrines that religious institutions teach and its not necessarily a western norm. Religion brainwashes while atheism liberates. |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by ronald4lif(m): 3:03pm On May 31, 2015 |
MrsChima: You see why I keep reiterating that modern feminists are heartless and evil. In the past, they were never allowed by their men to work and didn't have any career. But all that has changed now as women are taking up influential jobs and position in the society. Yet, they still fight for a huge chunk of the man's wealth after a divorce. The gender equality laws in the West should be revised, men seem to have become endangered species in the hands of women who want it all to themselves. They seek equality and at same time want to be worshipped by men. Confused lots. |

sylvalord: Hahahahahahahahaha, u dnt mean it. You know why we have problems in this life? Ppl use their brains for the wrong reason. Am not going to argue religion with you since I know ur stand on it already. But talking about religion brainwashing, my teacher used to say something "go to school with two bags,when the teacher teaches, put the important ones in one bag and the not so important once in the other bag, on your way home, fling the bag containing the non-important ones into the bush and go with the other" That been said, good day |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by MrsChima(f): 3:04pm On May 31, 2015 |
sylvalord: Hmm. I haven't thought of atheism in that point view. We were taught that atheism is about rebelling against God and not having any spiritual relationship. I am not religious but I am spiritual and believe in God. I don't conform to what man think God wants us to live. |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by MrsChima(f): 3:11pm On May 31, 2015 |
ronald4lif: You weren't dealing with Feminists...you were dealing with womwn who wanted to control you or men. It has nothing to do with feminism. If the man wasn't working and the wife was a main breadwinner he would get chunk of her wealth as well. That's fact! If both were working during the marriage the assets and moneybisbsplit in half! It is called community property! A woman can't ask for chunk of money but a man bish about her not taking his surname? Confused...yeah! |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by MrsChima(f): 3:24pm On May 31, 2015 |
ronald4lif: Again...I said women in Western societies are far better off in rights. You are repeating what I agreed to. Globally, women oppression is a mofo. Can a woman become a president in Nigeria? A woman is a leader of the entire church on Nigeria? Again, Nigeria follows similar structure as U.K. and what is ironic id that Nigeria has been independent from U.K. for over 50 years! Domestic violence towards women is taken seriously in Nigeria? A man beat his wife in the market and no one did anything even the police! I laughed when I heard a Nigerian man say, "she must have done something to deserve it". |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by Nobody: 3:39pm On May 31, 2015 |
MrsChima:come to think of it dear mrschima; that a "loving God" will throw a person into a lake of fire just because the person refuses to serve him? That even if a person does good, obeys the law and gives to the poor, a God who claims to be loving will cast him into a lake of fire just because he didn't acknowledge him? Will you as much as burn your child's hand no matter what he/she does? Yet a God who claims that he loves us and created us in his image will burn us forever if we as much as tell a lie. How reasonable does it sound. |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by Nobody: 3:50pm On May 31, 2015 |
bknight: I was expecting you to type this I want to have a child, I can't just get pregnant. I have to find a willing partner to realize my want. I feel men and women are equal. That is not the end. If the society I live in believes that I am inferior; I am inferior. If the society merely accepts that I assn equal however fails to put in place policies and infrastructures to ensure that the male gender treats me as an equal; I am still not equal. Therefore if I believe that I am equal to a man. I have to act like it and be treated as an equal to truly feel like an equal. |

sylvalord: Religiously, it does make sense but spiritually it doesn't make sense. Spiritually, a person who continue to engage in Bleep in even after knowing it is a sin because filth can't enter the holy place. If there is a heaven then it would as keep sense to remove the sin to protect the holiness. It has also said in the bible people would be given a chance to redeem themselves and makecwhole to enter heaven but refuse to do so and are cast to the fire. God is a loving God because he is willing to forgive and make you whole if you ask him but it is your free will to live your life and you will be judged by your actions. There are grace and mercy and that's what makes God loving. |

sylvalord: I don't like to delve into religious argument because most of the time it lacks logic and it's based on a book written centuries ago. But one thing I know for certain is that my parents wouldn't threaten me with fire and brimstone if I go against their will. They would embrace me no matter my perceived flaws and shortcomings. This is something I'm not sure the Biblical God would guarantee me of since the Bible keeps warning us of his wrath if we deviate from his laws and commandments. Why should God punish me and send his wrath to destroy his children just because they failed to keep to his commandments. Where's the love?. |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by Nobody: 4:11pm On May 31, 2015 |
ronald4lif:Exactly my point! You see this God that the Christians call loving isn't loving at all, he is evil and barbaric. He doesn't exist and even if he does, i refuse to serve such a evil blood sucking and flesh eating daemon |

bknight:I speak for Africa and not for the western countries. Funny enough, I'm not a feminist but I want an Africa where women are treated right. Even here on NL, the prejudice is just too much |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by Kasiem2: 4:16pm On May 31, 2015 |
MrsChima:it all depends on what u see as isolation madam. Do u think that the man enjoy it as being the only one suffering just to see that one woman relaxing and doing gossip somewhere is made happy? Do u enjoy suffering? All the woman does is to know the latest ware in the market while the man who toils day and night hardly knows the day he bought his last boxers, yet u don't wanna give men some credit? Please, like I posited in the original post, the stage is always open for women to aspire for any height. Have u ever seen a great woman being denigrated here in our Africa? |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by Nobody: 4:17pm On May 31, 2015 |
MrsChima: "i can't say the same for men" Really Ok now u've taken dis to a whole new direction. Ughh......c'mon |
Re: African Woman And Feminism. by Nobody: 4:18pm On May 31, 2015 |
MrsChima:Religion and spirituality work hand in hand, one cannot exist without the other. With this writeup, are you telling me that if ur child keeps being rebellious you will warn him and if he refuses to adhere to your warnings, you will feel good burning his/her hand? |

Re: African Woman And Feminism. by Nobody: 4:22pm On May 31, 2015 |
MrsChima:i can't carry 2 50kg cement bags. But u shouldn't do it either just to feel "equal". Like i said before, that's HORSESHIT! |

sylvalord: I will discipline him if he is doing what he shouldn't do which is committing crimes and being disobedient as a child. As an adult, it is his decision and i am not responsible for what happens to him. Spirituality and Religion are two different things. Religion is a man made institution with their own views of how a church should be ran. Spirituality is about having a personal relationship with God. No all religious people have a relationship with God and there is one God and over 10 different religions! |
