I AM A WOMAN!!! -

So what?
I get into an argument with a man, he slaps me, I feel the pain, yet they tell me I provoked him. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him.

I get into an argument with a man, I slap him, they tell me I have no respect, no home training. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him.

Because I am a woman, I don't have a right to be angry. So, the degree of my innocence is directly proportional to the degree of my silence in the face of oppression and brutality.....

Because I am a woman, my husband cheats on me, I am told to tolerate it to save my marriage. The barbaric and stupid excuse is that ''it is in their nature to cheat, I should slim down, dress better, cook better, pray harder and be more pleasant to him"

I cheat, and I am called a LovePeddler, I have committed an abomination, I have no right to look elsewhere for the love and emotional support I lack at home, I am an irresponsible mother.

So I am sent packing, from the home we both built, with all my earthly possessions stuffed into a tiny box on my head. I am henceforth forbidden from seeing my two older children, I'm lucky to be allowed to go with my little one still suckling on my left breast. Three years later, the little one is tagged a bastard. Now, my new name is "after-three", because I am a woman.

He is 28 and runs a company. He's tagged wonderful, hardworking, focused, career oriented, successful at a very young age.

I am 28 and I run a company " Hmmmm, she is not even married, unserious, can not order her priorities right, a hustler, loves money, let her go and get a husband oh"
And I wonder if being successful has anything to do with a person's gender.

Because I am a woman,
I am not allowed to have wits or be a prodigy, I cannot be financially buoyant, professionally successful or be treated with respect without a man beside me.

Then I am tagged a generous leg opener, "a runs girl". They never see the possibility that I actually had to go through ups and downs to get to where I am.
Because I am a woman.

A man looses his wife to death and remarries a year after, he did the right thing, he's being praised and congratulated for moving on, afterall life is for the living.

A woman looses her husband to death and remarries after 4yrs, "ahhh! so early? Are u sure she wasn't sleeping with that man even when her husband was alive? That was why she killed her husband. She's a witch! " Because she's a woman.

Because I am a woman, this post will be considered controversial, and everyone will try to correct me.
But don't forget, that I am a woman and it does not make me less human!!! Happy new year.

FTC Again...

The woman forgot to mention these:

Because you are a woman, a man is expected to pay for you when you both go out, while you just eat and enjoy.

Because you are a woman, a man is not expected to hit you.

Because you are a woman, it's expected of men to do the physically challenging and strenuous jobs, while you do the easy ones.

Because you are a woman, men are expected to protect you like they were your bodyguards.

Because you are a woman, a man is expected to provide for you and take care of you, even if you can provide and take care of yourself.

Because you are a woman, men are expected to defy their natural programming, take medications, do exercises and practice hard, just to spend an inordinate amount of time pleasing you during sex.

I despise posts like this. The writer is painting a hyperbolic picture of what women experience while demonizing men in the process. She is also victimizing her gender in such a dishonest way, and making it seem like all she said is a true representation of how majority of men view or treat women in our present day.

And I find it quite funny that the minority of women who are actually facing subjugation, like the women in Taliban Afghanistan, aren't the ones creating this kind of post, it's these trend seeking, brazilian hair-wearing, face-painting, dress-slaying, gadjet-flaunting opportunists that know nothing about their world, and who have it easier than their Nigerian male counterparts, that are the ones passionately championing feminism on social media.

All you feminist apologists should just shut the fuuuck up. There has never been a better time for women in the history of human civilization than now. The world is getting better for your gender. Fuuucking remove the ideological blindfolds from your eyes and see.

Op, why don't you borrow a time machine and take your disingenuous thread to 18th century Nigeria. That's where it would make sense.

This might be true, but in Nigeria here and right under our noses, many "successful" ladies of nowadays are actually runs girls.

Don't get me wrong, we have the likes of Okonjo, Ezekwesili, Amina, etc etc, but the younger ones now mix hustling and runs together. Every way na way to them. No dignity. No self respect.

We here

I forgot to comment

lovely... exactly the truth

Hmm

I will be back.... Now am back... Everytin she wrote re so true... Imagine wen I was a kid my dad who travels a lot cheated on my mum like mad beat her too some times... The family couldn't take it anymore so dey came 1 day had dis fight with my dad in the process he lost like 3 tooth to my fashion designer uncle Blessing... Mum leaves the home with our kid broda and dad starts bringing some of his concubines home but mum is criticized for leaving and abandoning us as my elder sister was just 12 or so while I was 8 and still in primary sch.... Mum starts a small biz and starts looking good and pple starts accusing her of slping with men.... All dis while I so much loved my dad cuz he hardly beats or disciplines me yet mum still deals with my excesses even though she wasn't living with us but not that far too..... Mum dies years later wen I was 15, some say she was poisoned but she really suffered b4 she died, afta investing all she had and wat odas supported her with to help fight her illness... Even in her grave she is blamed for the wayward lifestyle of my elder sister who my dad and his family knew was very close to her b4 she died, unknown to dem my sister was a pretender around my late mum and did all she did on her own... As for me I cleaned up my life changed from that teenager who wanted to explored life to a more conservative young man who practically stayed away from Gals because I knew for a fact that they re fragile besides I resolved afta my mums death neva to make any woman pass through what she went through. I so regret not been close to her wen she was alive... I ran from her cuz she wanted the best for me and would always discipline me wen I wen the wrong way.. I really didn't like her wen she was alive due to the fact dat I spent my very tender years with my grandmum who taught me 50% of wat I know and do 2day so wen I finally reunited with my mum she was more like a stranger to me as I practically detested her food and so many things about her.... Fast Forward to present time and I so miss her especially when I think of the fact that I will and can neva have a mother like her in this present system.... And yes afta 27 years of remaining single and concentrating on been a better man I started dating just last year to my best friend of 14 year and hope to correct some if not all the mistakes that were there in my dad and mums marriage life hopefully by next year.... And yes OP I agree with you all what pple did to her including me and what happened to her happened because SHE WAS A WOMAN...

So much has changed, the African society isn't what it used to be, there is a revolution going on... A Silent one, how doesn't anyone see it?it isn't feminism, something more..however nice this may seem, it feels archaic and its not just my male ego.

Truth!
