Silence!!! Black slave. He can't even type properly , all he writes is gibberish. The only reason you are afraid of women is because you know deep in your heart they are above you or maybe you are just very small down there . Hehhehe!

MarieSucre:
Under the contract of employment, I got to realize that the
Labour Act made laws that make women enjoy certain rights
and privileges protecting them from harm and dangers such
as maternity leave; no woman is allowed to work
underground (mining); no organization should employ a
woman to work at night (in exception to those in medical
field, doctors and matrons). Lastly, women are allowed to
work as Law Enforcement agents but are not allowed to go
to war front.

Are you saying that maternity leave is not right? Have you been to the labour room before to even full understand the extent of what the leave is being granted for?
The laws for mining, night work and working in the war front are laws similar to one's held earlier in the century that stated that no women can be doctors, lawyers, preachers, be able to vote, or even hold down steady employment. But as you can see most of the above have been rescinded and women have been able to break through most of these occupations. In Israel for example women battle in the war front as well as men. During the Biafra war, women soldiers were recorded.
But there is one point you deceptively omitted. That all these laws are set and enforced by men.

Let me tell you something, you and I know that women are the weaker sex even though you try to shy away from the truth. And the fact that much is expected from men clearly shows these two genders are not equal. The truth of the matter is that men are hierarchical in leadership in every sphere of life

How you ever wondered why women are not allowed to participate in heavyweight boxing? However, even though women participate in wrestling, have you ever wondered why they are given minor role to play? Lastly, have you ever wondered why men are sent to life imprisonment when they rape the ladies, but when a lady rapes a man such cruel judgement is not passed on her? These laws are man-made laws shey? I don't want you to tell me the answer


Now tell me, you deem it right to mouth-thrash a man for not being able to provide family basic needs but pat a woman on the shoulder for enduring such companionship?


My dear, let's not deceive ourselves over irrelevant argument

blackpanda:
Gender equality is not part of our African tradition. Women must be subservient to men cos women are under men. We dont want gender equality, just the same way we dont want homosexuality. Let us follow our african values to the latter!

beryl04:
so, cookiebrown u can see where we're coming from dear...no vex for my friend blackpanda,trust me, we are ur allies, only that we we were sold out and left to hang by our mothers,sisters aunts, daughters, whilst they were all clutching their holy books and African traditions- whatever the hell that means. we wailed and screamed for a lot of them, especially on here to see reason but to no avail.
today, gays are routinely murdered like chickens, in cold blood just because of that bill and our women's ignorance.sorry dear.

MarieSucre:
Murdering someone for their sexuality negates their right to life.

MarieSucre:
Point of correction Women also do boxing as a sport. Muhammad Ali's daughter Laila Ali is a renowned female boxer.

As for rape, I have never heard of life imprisonment for rape except if the rapist also murders the victim. And I fully support equal punishment for equal crimes(between genders). You see!! Can you see!! This is is one of the things we need to change not just for women but also for men.

And yes. These are MAN-MADE laws in the literal sense. Here is why? You said and I quote
" How you ever wondered why women are not allowed to participate in boxing?" Who are those not allowing them? MEN!
"However, even though women participate in wrestling, have you ever wondered why they are given minor role to play?" Who is giving them minor roles? MEN

Its men who go around saying women are weaker and we should not embellish it(your words). It is men who now use this mentality to now classify what women can and cannot do. Not Women. But Men.

It is true that physiologically men generally have better upper body strength than women. But there are women who have been able to meet up to this standard and excelled in fields that have been formerly exclusive. But why the insistence by some men to paint all women with one brush thereby blocking the access for all because of backward prejudices about our gender. Not all women can do. But if she is willing and able then get out of her way, let her do it.
This is just like saying because Africans were tying leaves and illiterate when the Europeans first came, then the Europeans will now write off all Africans. Would we have progressed?

Do you know that statistics show over 80% of the world's farmers are women? Go to your village to confirm. We do back breaking work all day under the sun, all over the globe and yet we're still treated like minors. We fvcking feed the world. What is greater?

It is true that there is societal pressure on men as regards upkeep. That is why you need to support is so we can support you and spread that burden so the world can progress.

Sometimes I ask myself, "what else do you people want?" Certain laws are made (both constitutional and religious) to protect women against harm and life dangers even more than the male folks;


Just as Rapmoney opined that the sole purpose of the agitation of gender equality is more than what we think. It's just to turn the nation in a state of discombubation making men look like they don't know what they have been doing so far


God Himself, the creator of earth, deliberately made women restrain from certain things cos He knows that women are naturally proud and bossy and won't be able to handle such amount of mantle of leadership given unto men.


Now ask yourself, "why do the larger proportion of women who are richer than their husbands tend to the bossy and fail to succumb under his authority? it's normal for a woman to slap a man but when the man retaliates hell is lose.

As I said earlier, as far as this is Nigeria, nothing good will come out of this gender equality but commotion against these two genders. A law which will give gold-diggers an opportunity to torment the lives of their husbands and will file a court case seeking divorce so that half of what the man has laboured for will be given to them


So you want to be given an opportunity to go to war front and fight against Boko Haram ? Gender equality my foot

MarieSucre:
You are already making my point. There was a time that European countries were extremely patriarchal and misogynistic.

SirShymexx:
Can you tell me how the system has failed women cos the last I checked boys and girls are given the same opportunity from a young age? They attend the same schools, have the same tutors, do the same exams etc.? And when it comes to employment opportunities, it's far easier for women than men. Women just can't compete with men - that's the honest truth. And even if they were to pass this bill, it won't change anything cos men will always outperform women.

Now compare it to race where blacks and whites are culturally different and the system is more favourable to you depending on ya shade. Then you've the generational bridge where whites are far richer than blacks and the schools in black communities are the worst schools. However, in cases where blacks and whites are given the same opportunities - the black kids always outperform the white kids. That's a fact and you can confirm that in any middle/upper class environment.

Leave race out of it.

noblegrex:
They also have my NAY here. Our Naija women can't handle this rights. More trouble looms if the right is passed.

Missy89:
Lol @ modern contemporary times. But when it comes to race, You were talking about Imhotep How about you discuss race since lets say after jim crow or apartheid? Keep deceiving yourself.

The example you are citing from politics does not make any sense. Nuland, Hilary did not hold any position of authority. If a man was in the position of Nuland, tell me what he would have done differently. If you want to talk about female incompetence, Please cite the ones that actually hold positions of Authority

How about you compare Schröder to Merkel , Lagarde to DominiqueStrauss-Kahn, Barra to Akerson , Rometty to Palmisano etc

Those are powerful women that will match their record with their male counterparts any day. Stop comparing them with bureaucrats who are mouth pieces and foot soldiers of different administrations.

...ONLY Nigerian women...

oloyede252:
good that you know.
There were official laws on how to sell your daughter if you wish, beat your wife. Women were not allowed to vote or be voted for. you people always forget that most men too were discriminatd based on means.eg property and income.
There were not allowed to be professionals e.g Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer etc.they were not ready at the earliest revolutions.
The European women had no opportunity. I made a point earlier. Its just like banning girls from going to school then 20 years later asking why there are no female professors? That's silly.there was never a time in europe when they banned females from going to school.
Why are there no as many African scientists as there are European scientists?europeans brought abt western educatin in africa.so how do u expect that before
How then you do you expect the European women to spark a revolution?you can answer that.
Do you think white women just woke up and started proving themselves useful? Can someone suddenly make themselves useful to people who don't care. They did not just have their rights handed to them. They fought for it. Read about Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Read about the female suffragettes.
for sure they fought culture and law.but Nigerian women has neve fought the culture and law.but always ranting.
The point of this is that the European men no longer go around saying backward shit about women because that the way religion or society lays it. They actively try to make it stop. That's how slavery ended. That's why racism is receding. The Scandinavian countries Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium etc have one of the best grades on gender equity. And that's where people like to run to. Their economy is also superb. for sure bt not because of gender equality.

Nigerian culture is flexible(Thank God) but we need to acknowledge that there is an issue with our gender relations and stop being evasive.
we are progressing and that a step forward..

mccoy47:
Must they rule?
Aren't they satisfied with being ministers and law makers?

[size=15pt]**modified**[/size] I just had to bring this post foward.

Equal rights Equal rights yet they would be the one to always ask for help in the most mundane ish.

Equal employment opportunities yet they would ask for 6months maternity leave, heartbreak leave and if care is not taken, they would ask for menstrual cramps leave!

Equal rights yet a man is crucified before the world and press the moment a lady accuses him of rape, without even hearing his side And if tables are turned the man (victim) is mocked!

Equal rights yet a man is expected to always be the provider in a home, and in a situation where the man lags behind, he is called a lazy man, nobody calls the woman that!

Equal rights yet in dire emergency situations women and children are carried to saftey 1st. And the men maybe later.

Where do I start and where do I stop?
God will punish the next mouth that shouts equal rights. Wether owned by a man or woman!!!

Misterdhee1:
Sure.. But as long as your husband is a man and you submit to him, A man is Superior to you. It's just what Nature has ordained right from the Beginning!

quivah:
Submission doesn't mean inferiority mister!! Its just an act of respect .. Which is after all reciprocated, he will respect me in accordance as well.

But saying a man is superior than a woman is nothing but a stupid assumption.. Yes! Assumption!
A man is not superior to me, no man ever is!
Come to my side and talk this trash, you will find yourself to be blamed..
When asked what exactly makes a man 'superior' .. You all will jump to say 'physical strength'

Nothing dumber! .. You can claim your Superiority to your wife if she doesn't mind, but tagging along all woman..that's gross stupidity.
You know like you saying you are superior to me.. What! I have no business in your household where you can throw your 'cause I have a third leg' superiority round.. It belongs to 'only' your wife.

What will it profit me to reply to all these gibberish u posted.. Buh, soon enough, I hope you will wake up from this self-assumed Delusion, when u are confronted with the basic reality of life.. Best Wishes!

MarieSucre:
Humans are not just women can be arrogant and bossy. But I don't see anybody complaining about the men who are?

Can you see that you do not care for women, you're just a pretender. When I demolished your excuse for women fighting in the warfront, just like a serpent you changed tact.
Someone like you would justify the oppression of Igbo's because your excuse will be "they're a minority" "they can't take care of themselves" "blah.. blah.. blah.." mtchewwww
