She was actually trying give them a shot of their favorite medicine [sarcasm]. But they just couldn't take it.

Chick must have a very tough skin. LOL

Amarabae:
Opposing feminism will not get you an engagement ring here.
Sorry is your case if that is your plan.

makydebbie:
Online threats is nothing. I'm sure you know that.

Today is Saturday that's why most of us are online, if she's jobless, you're too, we all are because we're all online. You're waiting for reasonable argument and I asked you a question, instead you were throwing shades. You can't call anyone here jobless, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

donstan18:
That's not cheating , it's their policy.

[b]How about welding,mechanic and other hard jobs, do you aswell consider it "Cheat" when women are denied to venture into it.
[\b]

Do you? or are you only concerned on the better side and benefits

Chikita66:
Exactly, you nailed it, very bitter, I shudder when I read what they say online.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Most of all these anti feminist follow Nkechi bianze and other feminist on Facebook.

kimbraa:
WTF! Try to weigh replies from both parties before jumping on to take sides. The Chikita of a moniker already told her she's a housewife hence she doesn't have her time. What does that imply? She, Amarabae is jobless.

Chikita66:
I see how you are mentioning me up and down, you have been noticed.

kimbraa:
I think "Up" and "Down" in this context has another meaning.

Proudgorgeousga:
it's sexiest if women are denied yeah.

Ladyhippolyta88:
If there is anything I don't like is when people try to be ignorant you claim feminist don't know what they want or the ill treatments in society Nigeria and beyond then why insult the movement since you have no idea what they are fighting for and it varies as well.

donstan18:
I'm not bashing or condemning the movement, I'm calling out our e-goats feminist wannabes who knows nothing about what they are advocating for?

shaybebaby:
So in your own words, how would the 'type' of feminism you are not condemning play out?

donstan18:
Rephrase

Lol , SSG! I knew you were going to lure me into long talk.

A woman's social independence from a man doesn't mean she cannot want one. Or that she cannot want to be domestic. Or that she must never accept money from a man. It just means that she's a self-determining entity in society, complete by herself, and free to make choices where an arbitrary man's opinion on the matter is irrelevant. What I mean by that last bit? Choosing to be a teacher or a nurse because men find soldiering or engineering "too hard for a woman"; deciding to buy a hatchback instead of a proper sedan because men would find you "less approachable"; staying in your parents house until you're forty (when you're unmarried) so that men would think you're a good homely girl. So, generally censoring yourself, and refusing to start out your life because you haven't been joined with a man. That's the independence which feminism advocates: you are your own person.

We are not put in boxes of other people's expectations; whether that box be a "traditional housewife" or a "career girl". Feminism allows women value themselves, and give expression to their individual desires. Choice. If as a feminist you feel pressure to become a career woman even when you don't want to be one, then you have not been emancipated. (Please read my article on feminism. To the end)

A woman who has a full understanding of feminism is not going to be pressured by it. It is liberating and makes you (as a woman) the focus of your life. Men shouldn't be intimidated by it either, because a traditional man can still find what he is looking for in the PERSONAL values of a traditional girl. But the notion that feminism tries to kill is that "all women" must fit into this box simply because they're women; and "all men" must fit into that box because they're men. Thereby, it gives every individual (not just women, but men as well) freedom to express themselves beyond the traditional gender roles. Some people cannot handle a world without these boxes because then, whatever inadequacies that have been ascribed to the female gender (or male gender) become your personal inadequacies. So they prefer to hide in those boxes which have all women branded as weak as a curtesy.

Someone once alluded to the fact that Beyonce's feminism was a sham because she's now married and submissive to a husband who has also got the temerity to cheat on her. What I see here is a person who is already so used to telling a woman what to be and how to react to her situations, doing more of the same. Feminism let's YOU BE YOU. The aim is to eradicate oppression. You are referring to Amara. She isn't less feminist for being married. She's done her basic responsibility as a feminist woman by exercising her right to choose for HERSELF and not society. We aren't all going to want the same things; that's the beauty of individualism. Or feminism.

I've rambled on............and I haven't given you the list you requested. But I don't think a long list is even required. The characteristics of a feminist woman: self esteem, self awareness, self love.

shaybebaby:
You are not condemning or bashing according to you but also made the claim they do not know what they advocate for.
So I can infer that you know this so I am asking you to share what YOU know about feminism.

Note I'm not asking for definitions or quotes, just your understanding of the subject matter.
