Omudia:Now that makes sense because they treat their women as second class citizens. Their women need to take permission from their men before they can begin to drive a car. Saudi Arabia doesn't even permit them to drive. |

OLAADEGBU: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. |

OLAADEGBU: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. |

OLAADEGBU: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. |

OLAADEGBU: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. |

nextprince: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? ![]() |

OLAADEGBU: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. You see how Psalms shifts to she when talking about temptation and sin How they live on earth is also different and situation that has persisted for Generations. |

nextprince:I have just mentioned two Prime Ministers in the UK numerous women MPs. Have you got similar examples in the Muslim world? nextprince:Who said women are not allowed to participate in the sharing of their late father's property? nextprince:You are mistaken certain cultures in particular parts of the country. This does not apply in cultures that has been enlightened by the word of God. nextprince: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. ![]() |

OLAADEGBU: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? |

OLAADEGBU: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. My father has more responsibility than my mum and as such she cannot and indeed has never equated herself to him. Continue. |

orunto27: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. |

OLAADEGBU: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. Nextprince, using a friend's handle. |
