Obalende:
1. Too many rape victims many who have lost their lives.
2. Women seem to do better jobs than men in almost all fields in the year 2000s as most guys continue to chase quick easy money and look at many jobs as an "insult"
3. Most of society's ills like kidnapping rituals 419 armed robbery one chance are perpetrated by men.
4. Gun violence is dominated by men.
5. Most men are stupid when a woman they find attractive is around them and are controlled by visual appearance of women.
6. African men have excessive pride and ego.
7. Motor vehicle accidents in Nigeria from official statistics are perpetrated by men both as causers and victims.

Why did you become a feminist?


undecided. The first thing I thought after reading your post: she/he is just young and a bit misguided. But if you registered this moniker over ten years ago, you cannot be as young as your post suggests. So......I really don't know what's happened to you.

You seem to imply that women should be treated like human beings because they are better human beings than men (or have a more positive social impact?). Women do not have to be better than men at anything to justify their equal treatment; they only have to be members of the species. Anyone, either male or female, can be bad at their job, given to violence, stupidly in love, jaywalk or drive badly. The emancipation and inclusion of women in the work place is not a silver bullet to eradicate substandard practice or the mediocrity of the human race. Women should not be saddled with that kind of responsibility. What special debt do we owe to society, that we are required to work off our oppression by being excellent? We are all humans, every one of us surely but uniquely flawed; and still, we all deserve to be seen as equally human. Women don't deserve equal regard because they are excellent; they deserve it because they are human.

To your question: self love and personal integrity won't let me accept this oppression. I cannot not react to it or stand up for myself. And if you're wondering what oppression I'm referring to, please read my post on this from my topics.

I did not say women are excellent. I am saying that men commit most ills in society and they clearly need help from the women folk to curb these. Women helping men also falls under my umbrella of feminism; this is why most advanced countries are advocating for equal male/ female representation in all fields. The statistics do not lie. Men have inherent toxic masculinity.

It's all up to the readers anyway. You brother or sister could be next on the ritual, kidnap or robbery list or accident list.

The choice is all yours!
