This is not a joke at all and if this is how you reason, pls have a change of heart, at conception the woman is already carring life in her. It is foetus that becomes a baby, babies become full grown human. It's part of the problem we're talking about, all kinds of strange ideas.

ItsQuinn:
I just did my research and I found out that a 4-6 week prenatal human is not a fetus, therefore does not have a life, it's just a blood clot and nothing more. So abortion should be allow from 1-2 months, not the 3rd month of pregnancy....go and do a medical research about fetus. Thank you

And there are no women in the Nigerian army?

Superior? what's the meaning? higher in quality? higher in rank? above? better? OK. A pentium 3 computer system of 512mb ram and 20 gig hard disk and a Corei7 system with 6gig ram and 2 terabyte hard disk are both systems but one is higher band specification and can run task faster and better than the other right? so why would you want to rate both as the same in quality? one thing in life is NOTHING IS EQUAL! Men are not equal women are not equal so how can you expect men and women to be equal? women have their advantages and men do too but generally God created men to be better and Nigerian understanding of what feminism is ( chauvinism) won't make a dent on it. Women are wonderful and can do amazing things that men can't do and men can do mind blowing things that women can't do. how many female inventors do we have in the list of inventors? help me out pls, yet men are equal to females.

am not talking about strength here, all am sayin is most women not all ooo don't ve the zeal to push or go that extra mile to prove themselves all we hear is " don't you know am a woman "

Please, madam Cocoa, what misogyny and Patriarchy is stopping women from achieving their political dreams. I dare you to name just one instance of this socirketk discrimination you talk about.

GodsLastBorn:
Its all in your mind, tell me a goal you have ever wanted to, forget about wants rather worked so hard, smart and was very competent to achieve and it was stopped by a male?
That's the problem with many of you, nothing great can be handed to anyone on a platter of a damn gold. Nothing great can be achieved with ease or no sacrifice! the problem is that most of you don't understand the concept of achievements, setting goals and achieving them. All I hear are EXCUSES, let me use an infant for example;

A baby can barely move when they're born as month passes by they learn how to sit, after the master sitting they start learning how to crawl after that they start learning how to walk then running after many falls, pains, tears, wounds and more that prepared them for that next stage they want to achieve! they don't pay to learn those skills. They sacrificed through bruises, wounds, blood, tears and more to get their and while they were trying all these .......... they never for once believed that someone or something is stopping them from crawling, walking or running! they just knew they want to do these things and started working towards it despite all there tragedies and what's the goddamn result? EVERYONE THAT HAS NO DEFICIENCY OR ACCIDENT CAN WALK!
1. Do you think those positions that men are occupying were handed over to them? ( Even in naija where I.M is the order of the day you still have to possess certain skills/personality or reputation)

2. Do you think Bill Gate is where he is because he sat on his azz thinking "oh lorrt these apple guys, Steve Jobs and other tech companies can't let me make it?

3. Do you think Alexander Graham Bell was waiting for apple, google or all these cell phone companies to invent or produce panel for him so that he can time travel and invent the phone which have been upgraded that you can use it to travel into cyberspace and alight on nl avenue to type all these things?!

Excuses are very bad especially in dreams, stop playing that nonsense game of the " victim", great people and people who did, doing and can do amazing things don't let such disease live in their mind. Its a cancer, get rid of it. Nobody can stop you from doing what you want, good plans, skills, competence, perseverance and more are the keys. Imagine as a baby you believed someone was always there to push you down anytime you try to crawl or walk? would have walked when you did? self-pity is a disease too.

FYI, women are striving and breaking through even with all the misogyny, I'm not sure if the whole of the 1999 constitution was amended but I do know that, a large part of it was discriminatory against women, y'all talk like misogyny never even happened at all.

The religions of your country are blawdy misogynistic, yet here you are asking me to prove something to you. It's true that the world is made some progress since the days of old, but then, culture's being passed down from generation to generation, so there's no way a new generation won't carry some part of the old with it.

Fact remains, there was need for feminism, and more work is still needed because there's still some misogyny left in the world.

What's with the computer analogy for feck's sakes? Bottom line is, they both are computers at the end of the day and that right there is the argument. Are women human like men? That's all.

That reminds me.....What can you say about the situation the Nigerian women footballers are facing now? The men are being paid while the women work their butt off to be at the top and didn't get paid or earn anything because they are females

Being human is not the bone of contention here at all or have men been mating with goats to reproduce offsprings? Females and males are amazing (when they play their role well) but both are not equal in rights or anything and can never be the sooner most people living in cuculand realize this the better. Nature, God, society doesn't support it and even you sweetcocoa honestly don't want to be treated as equal as a man.

bigfrancis21:


Development, creativity, innovation, the bridges you ride on, the skyscrapers you call office every morning, the cars you drive in, the expensive laptop you sport to work and back, the television you watch everyday, the house you live in, the websites you visit everyday, the phones and gadgets you operate everyday and what have you were and are still being built by men. Despite scholarships and efforts aimed at increasing women, men still dominate overwhelmingly in science, engineering and technology. Several studies have shown that women naturally gravitate towards more socialized courses or courses that involve sociology and men naturally gravitate towards courses involving critical thinking. Of course you often find people of each gender defying the expectation. Differences in hormonal make-up is largely said to account for this disparity. This is no post to say men are superior or whatsoever but my point is men continue to be better at doing certain things and women better than men in doing some other things. It doesn't make any gender more superior to the other. We genders are different and designed differently and there's more difference to men and women beyond just genital organs. The sooner we begin to realize our differences and accept our talents the better. Both genders are there to complement each other and not compete unnecessarily with each other. Agreed, feminism was a movement aimed at improving economic welfare and rights for women. However, the modern view of feminism has evolved into something else sort of like a measuring contest were certain women measure their self worth in being able to do what men can do and are ignoring or leaving behind their own talents. To some feminists, their goal is to see themselves as 'superior' to men, or 'men are irrelevant', or 'men are the devils, women are the angels', etc. They pull out statistics of sorts or write articles to promote their idea of supremacy against men as if that gives some sort of satisfaction. Nowadays, we have women who no longer want to be women but become men instead.

sweetcocoa:
I don't support extremity but there's nothing like wanting to become a man, how can they become men?

sweetcocoa:
The only thing worth addressing in your post, is the point on nature n
t supporting men and women having equal right, pray tell, how?

GodsLastBorn:


None are worth addressing because they are facts every honest, reasonable human being should know already.
Nature: Males and females cannot be equal here due to a lot if things like testosterone in males than females, females have to menstruate and can't do some certain things during their period whereby no menstruation in males, females' moods swings worst than a team of an untrained baseball players while males have better grip of their moods, males are naturally built to be stronger than females, females are likely to be emotional while males are likely to be logical, females are likely to cower in certain dangerous situations while males are likely to confront the dangerous situation.

God: Females have the gifts to nurture, care, understand and basically help males while males are to protect, care, provide, love and more for their adorable females. We are to go out there hunt and bring it to you ladies to prepare, we're to protect you guys from any sort of harm even if its a ferocious beast that can kill us, its naturally encoded in us to defend you females be it mom, wife, sis or daughter.

Society: Men are pumped into the war fronts while women are asked to stay back, females are the first to be taken care of in drastic situations ( take Titanic ship sinking for e.g) while the men are to help the women escape the dangers thereby being left at the mercy of the terrible outcome of the situation but you "feminists" won't ask for equality here. Most if the time when a females puts her hands on an male the male is expected to deal with it but if the male tries it other males around might beat him up and protect the female without knowing or caring whether she's at fault. This and that for the girl child, what about the male child? so the male child don't matter? millions of advantages that you females have but the thing in you all will still make you guys to want or demand more hahahahhahss and even if all the current things you all ask for are given to you guys I guarantee that tomorrow maybe you all will want all males to be slaves and do every single thing you guys want. Some dumb mofos now want a greeting or a "hi" from males to be classified/charged as sexual assault, WTF!? you females have so many advantages but still want the little ones that males got?
Most of you females are crazy but we can't do without you ladies yet. You catch my drift now?

bigfrancis21:


Ya I'm serious, especially among black american women here in the US. From dressing to attitude, it has become the hippie thing to look and act like men. Black american women hardly wear a skirt or dress anymore. Infact it is easier for Tyler Perry to wear a gown than a black american woman to do the same.

sweetcocoa:
Catch drift ke? I can't even make head or tail of your post.

I asked how nature is against men and women having equal rights and you are talking of testosterone and oestrogen, menstruation and mood swings, talking about likely to be emotional and likely to be logical, seriously? Abeg I don big pass this kind argument.

GodsLastBorn:
nature gave guys more "advantages" which negates equality between the two and not rights for crying out loud. Smh

sweetcocoa:
Lmao @ more advantages.

You said men and women aren't and can never be equal in rights, saying nature doesn't support it, I ask how, you mention hormones negating it because women menstruate, how does not menstruating give men an advantage over women?

GodsLastBorn:
how does menstruation give men advantage? when you guys are menstruating most of you guys are in pains and can't be 100% (some cry, some miserable and all over the place) but men don't deal with such issues. you have to wear pampers(pads) or else you will embarrass yourselves but men don't have to deal with these. A girl embarrassed herself while in the pool sometime ago that everyone had to leave the pool for her and the shame won't even let her get out of the pool. Can that happen to a guy? staining yourselves with blood. Guys don't have to worry about bleeding in the pool, on the road, or anywhere as a result of menstruation or the pains and embarrassment that comes with it and can swim anytime they want, don't have to spend money on pads.

sweetcocoa:
Na wa o, this is your idea of having an advantage over women, okay then.

GodsLastBorn:
Men have many advantages over females but these are as regards to menstruation only or have you forgotten what you asked me not just long ago?

ItsQuinn:
Hmmm....same thing, but I will take it

sweetcocoa:
Talking about having an advantage over women because you don't menstruate is something I can't begin to wrap my head around, like saying you don't have to spend money on sanitary pads, like seriously? This is something worth discussing? Hian!

GodsLastBorn:
A question you specifically asked on what advantage do males have over females in regards to menstraution and I gave it to you and here you go murmuring, I see you don't read to understand but to reply so I see no reason to engage you a second further after this post.

ItsQuinn:
That reminds me.....What can you say about the situation the Nigerian women footballers are facing now? The men are being paid while the women work their butt off to be at the top and didn't get paid or earn anything because they are females

sweetcocoa:
You seem to not get my point, what you call "acting like men" is a construct of society, your example of AA women no longer wearing skirts comes to mind, who is to say trousers are for men?
