Equality is not responsibility......let me give you a hint

you no know something and you dey curse the people wey know.

Know body is displacing in you home as man.....no otondo here
The conservative Party in the U.K. has produced two female Prime Ministers in the developed world. I wonder where we stand with all our inequalities in the third world? undecided

Can u imagine woman wrapper? Just imagine the contradiction, 'the world richest women still get looked after by a man', yet she is equal to a man. Small fry, men take care of their women and that is why they can never be equal. That a woman is feeding u doesn't mean every other man is being fed by a woman.
Small fry, empty gallons can be noisy. Eg dragging economic status into an issue unnecessarily. Meanwhile, I don't brag about my economic status on social media or anywhere for that matter. That is for hustlers like u being taken care of by a woman and therefore think everyone should worship them like u.
Small fry, get a job and stop feeding under a woman.
The fact that a woman is the President of a country doesn't stop her from fulfilling her duties at home to her husband. cool

Go to ur office and tell ur boss u are all equal b4 God and therefore u have the same right,or tell ur parents that u are all equal b4 God.is it not the same bible that teaches u to 'obey them that have rule over u?God recognises authority and seniority.We can be equal by creation, bt by authority we are not equal.
In career aspiration we have equal right,bt in relationship we are not equal.
The fact that she is your boss at work does not mean that she is Created to be a superior person to you. Get out of your inferiority complex and become who God has created you to be. cool

Very incoherent, jumping from one point to the other. The fact that a man takes care of his woman automatically places him ahead of her, small fry. That u are being fed by a woman doesn't in anyway suggests others are.
Certainly, ur view of equality centres around the size/type of sexual organs and that is apparently what u depend on for survival. Small fry, my concept of inequality centres around responsibility, and from all indications, ur responsibility is being shouldered by a woman. Small fry, get a job and stop depending on a woman simply because u have a d1ck.

Meanwhile, believing that every other man should equate himself to a woman because jobless and hungry dudes like u depend on ladies is very irritating and the thought of the existence of ur types can very disgusting.

Ur submission and argument is just baseless,is either u r just been plain arrogant and proud to admit the that u can't bend the truth,or u are been ignorant of the truth that men and women by scripture aren't equal,by culture and tradition we are still not equal.go to countries like Saudi Arabia and tell them that men and women are equal,and i promise u that u may lose ur head.
Women of this days have become so arrogant and proud that simple submission to their man has become rocket science,that is the reason for the countless number of failed relationshp and marriages u see these days.
but,the truth still remains,we are not equal and can never be,evn bible and quran relate to that fact.argue it from here till 2mmrw,the truth and logic confronting on this wise is undisputable
Why don't you show us from the Bible how we are not created equal or how we don't have equal worth in the eyes of God? undecided

is thre any law in Nigeria that forbids woman not to become, president, minister, governor, judge,Professor, doctor even breadwinners. if u are guaranteed by the laws of the land, what else u want? I will advice u to follow foot steps of many Nigerian women who were/are achievers & accomplishers. just this Monday Nigerian woman took oath as deputy Secretary General of UN having served as Nigerian environmental minister.

Is it about superiority? Is it not about equality? Based on this logic, the woman is superior (not equal) but that is not the logic, stop changing it.

It is actually about who takes the greatest responsibility, not the biologically assigned role, bro.

Besides, compare married couples not mother and children.

If the woman is equal to a man, what stops her from becoming the president? Why most she be given the opportunity by a man when she is equal to him and accordingly, can slug it out with him? If she is equal to the man, a level playing ground should be created for both.

Yes, you're right. The direct Answer to your main question really is, neither man nor woman knows very well how to "shine The Light of God in them". This plays into Politics between PDP and APC; into Religion between Christians and Muslims and into Culture between Fulani Herdsmen and Indigenous Farmers etcetera. When man and woman know very well who they are in God as Princes and Princesses of The Royal Priesthood of Their CREATOR, they will stop complaining. Ditto for black/white; pdp/apc; Igbos/Yoruba etcetera. Biafra and Bokoharam.com are co conspirators against the good Health of Nigeria. Don't you see how Diezani, Madam Peace and the Senator who was former Aviation Minister have looted Nigeria dry? They are women, all Ibos and have looted worse than the 16 APC GOVERNORS reported on 9/3/2017 by President Trump, himself of the U.S. to have huge Foreign looted Accounts in the U.S.

You that treat your women as first class citizens, how many women governors have you produced in your places?

Have you started allowing women to participate in the sharing of their late fathers' property?

Have widows started inheriting their husband's properties?

Have widows stopped drinking the water from the washing of their husbands' corpses?

Have they stopped sleeping in the same rooms with the corpses of their late husbands to prove innocence?

Note, in Islam, females inherit their husbands'/fathers' property.

In Islam, the use of husband's name or father's for surname is the choice of the lady.

Respect for parents, especially mothers, by children is not negotiable.

Now, where is a woman treated with contempt?

If in your religion, a woman is free to do what she wants even against the consent of her husband, Islam preaches respect for husbands.

In the developed world such as the UK two women have become Prime Ministers and infact a woman has been the queen for over 60 years. What stops women in our third world countries from becoming Presidents if not for misogynistic attitudes such as yours? undecided

I think they are differently worthy BEFORE God. I dont think all men are equal before God either. Everybody is unique with their own worth. Are there any female holy angels though? Demons?

But I at times suspect the devil is female, considering the story of the Woman in revelation who is being accused of leading the entire earth wayward. wink You see how Psalms shifts to she when talking about temptation and sin undecided

How they live on earth is also different and situation that has persisted for Generations.

You forgot to mention that in Islam husbands are allowed to be violent to their wives, they are allowed to share their husbands with other wives, women are not allowed to marry from other faiths, the witness of a women in court is not equal to men's, women gets punished or executed if they are raped, women are not permitted to express themselves and the list goes on. cool

If you christians are selective on which parts of your Bible to comply with and which to discard, muslims comply with the Qur'an fully.

Now, explain the following verses of your Bible, and provide verses against them.

1Timothy 2:11-12
1Corinthians 14:34
Ephesians 5:22-23
1Peter 3:11
1Peter 3:5-6
1Corinthians 11:3-6
Genesis 3:116.

Having done that, you may now continue with these;

Pls point out cases where only a female adulterer is punished and the male is allowed (with evidence pls).

Stop lying, pls provide proofs of how Islam encourages violence in spite of what I have listed out in the post u quoted. Pls do that with facts and figures. Meanwhile I can list out some reported violence metted out by ur folks against women if u want.

Yes, women are not allowed to marry from another faith, any problem with that?

Stop lying just to score some cheap inconsequential points. Pls provide where I stated the emboldened. I compare myself with my wife, not my mum. What I have for my mum is respect not dragging equality with her.

And I repeat, stop changing the concept, it is not about biologically assigned roles, but about responsibility.

Man and Woman are not equal. Man is independent. Woman is dependent on Man's Directives. Deborah didn't achieve nothing without Men, just like Eve didn't fail with the Serpent until she dragged Adam into the Sin. Mrs. JOB vetuperated JOB to make him curse God, thereby demonstrating her inequality in feeling, thinking and reasoning. Even The Virgin Mary was specifically made A Vessel to bear her Maker. She was not made to be equal to Him she bored. So there's nothing equal in Man and Woman. Too much Thinking confuses humans.
Lol, Mary was needed for salvation to take place. The fact that she bore Jesus Christ alone shows that God does not exclude women in His plans. He could have created Jesus Christ like He created Adam but He chose not to, Ruth, Rebecca, Esther, Mary, Elizabeth , Mary Magdalena, Deborah, were all significant even in an archaic Jewish culture
Re: Bible Teaches Gender Equality, Why Has Gender Inequality Always Been The Norm? by orunto27: 5:27am On Mar 15, 2017
The Creator creates The Creatures. The Creatures can never be equal to The One Who created The Creatures. So also a part of something can not be equal to the something. Eve was just a Rib of Adam until God cursed her to always listen to Adam.

Is this the explanation of the verses? Or does this link explain them? The issue is, if you are selective of the book you claim to be your guide, what makes you think others should?

You understand the bible and believe in it as well, now explain those verses.

The provisions of those verses are very clear. They are in English language and if you don't agree with your bible (which you claim to be your guide), who am I that you should agree with?

Accordingly, I don't have more time to waste, meaning no more fvcks to waste until you convincingly explain those references.
