A female Presidential candidate of the National Interest Party, Eunice Atuejide, has taken to her social media timeline of twitter to condemn feminism.

In her post, the presidential seat aspirant made it clear to her followers that she is not a feminist and will rather not support the movement.

She went ahead to give a personal definition of who a feminist is and made it known that she will not support any of such.


She writes:

I'M NOT A FEMINIST! Na by force? And who is a feminist? My friend who won't cook for her husband & kids cos of equality? The one who always insults men because she can? Ladies who won't let men hold doors for them cos it diminishes their value? What does feminism mean?

However, just as expected, her post was met with criticism from some of her followers who believed she could have used her platform to educate the populace more on the quite critical topic and not delve into arguments that will further marginalize women

A user wrote:

Your tweet is representative of uniformed beliefs about feminism that have failed women in the past and continues to fail us today. Use your platform wisely to educate, and avoid contributing to the very harmful rhetoric that can further marginalize women.

So disappointed by her comments, she thinks feminism is about cooking and cleaning, what of the men that are feminists? I can understand Buhari making statements like this but a UK trained lawyer like her haba

what is feminism?

MIKOLOWISKA:
what is feminism?

Bro feminism is an ideology that seeks to improve women rights being it political, economic and social, reducing feminism to cooking is absurd, cooking and doing chores isn't the core idea of feminism, feminists cook and have kids, men are feminists too

her definition of feminism is in line with what those claiming to be feminist seek to achieve. Man and woman are never equal as God is not foolish in the first place. everyone has particular role to play.
I hope as you seek for equality between man and woman, you are also preparing your sister to work and raise money to pay their husbands groom price, while you are preparing for the day you will follow them to ask for their husband's hands in marriage.

Thank you ma. Nairaland acclaimed feminists will be highly disappointed like Zombies were disappointed yesterday.

You can't use radical or different actions to define an ideology from its true form, there are feminists who don't understand what feminism is about, you can find that in many movements, some Christians don't know what Christianity is about, best we can do is to educate them, like others you are making a mistake to think feminism a gender battle, its not our country is rated one of dangerous places for women to live, ever asked why? there's institutional discrimination against women, child marriage, lack of access to education and business opportunities these are core issues feminism seek to address, try seek true ideals of feminism not what disgruntled elements are saying, we nigerians are slow in embracing good ideas, Im sure when rest of world moves beyond feminism is when we will begin to see its benefits, and btw my sisters are all married and taking many responsibilities for their homes, marriage is 50-50 for those who understand.

Does Feminism core not include women decision to either 'keep' or 'kill' the harmless life in their womb if they feel like it?

Sigh feminism doesnt include that, that's abortion laws moreover men put women in difficult positions by denying being responsible and even encourage them to abort

While I am happy that a man (you) wants the best interests of women, I am sure you can do it better without being behind a cloak of movements that you are oblivious of the Drivers agenda. The Drivers of Feminism have at their core, the ejaculation of men and the termination of family structures. To them, a man is naturally guilty in a domestic fight without a recourse to personality traits. More worrying is the fact that such Drivers looks for every opportunity to hold men accountable but exonerate a woman on happenings.

For example, a man commits homicide, he's deemed guilty but when a woman does same, it's seen as a crime of Passion which she 'didn't cause; double standards there! More so, the fact that it gives the Right of Life of a baby in the womb (fetus) to a woman to manipulate or do as she deemed fit is another worrying thing. The right of a woman to do as she deemed fit to her fetus has caused at least 20 million death in USA (abortions). Yet, no sane Feminist sees abortions as bad but they all shroud it in the mystery of 'Women's Reproductive Rights' (absurd statements that have killed Millions).

Interestingly, I have the interest of women at heart more than many professed feminists. However, I think I am more of a 'Humanists' than a 'genderist' which many of these arguments try to promote.

We surely don't need to be identify as feminists before we will have best interests for women or anyone I don't even identify as a feminist but I totally understand its purpose just people feel starting a movement can help more awareness and representation and it works though you will find people use those movements for their personal ego battles, and there no double standards just difference is women speak up for themselves and men dont, if men feel there's anything society is depriving them they could easily bring it up


Abortion laws goes beyond feminism, I can be pro abortion depending on the situation, a situation of rape leading to pregnancy could be aborted and I have no issues with that cos you don't make people accept things they never asked for, not to talk of stigma the kid will face from same society that condemns abortion

In Islam what we have is Gender equity (justice or fairly and caring treating of female)
but corrupt western said Gender equality (feminism) where by its a null hypothesis rejected because men and women are different oven(egg) and sperm(biology) differ and many more!

This lady you are disappointed by has more education and experiences than you. Feminism is nothing more than a white concept that is designed to divide and destroy black families worldwide. Lawyers are making $$$$ from divorces and know exactly the impact it has on say children (both adult and minors).

SHebi you know that WHITE WOMEN voted 2-1 for Trump against Hilary because at the end of the day it is race and nationality that really matter and not stupid feminism.....

If you want female empowerment then read on the Aba Women of 1929 who were not wearing weaves and boldly challenged the status quo without fear for the betterment of women, children, and MEN.

You people sef....

Destroy families by asking for better opportunities for women? you people need to stop looking for ways to hang your societal failures on feminism, how can she say feminism is all about cooking yet she knows better, you talk about aba women 1929 yet you want to agree to her silly point on feminism, that she is educated and is contesting for president today cos women before her fought for women rights and she got the effrontery to reduce women issues to cooking and I should clap for her.

Which women fought for women’s rights? Are you talking about African women or Oyibo Women? If na Oyibo women they never, EVER, fought for women’s rights but fought for additional benefits. The ABA reference which I know you did not research since you are so emotional and responded quickly, was a fight for freedom and respect for ALL (Easterners) at that time, and not for men or women only.

Africans want to copy WHites that have already done the dirty work when they the Africans have not even landed their airplane but want to collect their luggage at the terminal.

You mention societal failures? Really?

Now you know better than that. You know very well it has nothing to do with feminism but instead is rooted in slavery/colonialization/Military rule, and corruption, both by internal forces in junction with external powers

Women rights been fought by both white and black women there's a long list and Aba women riot was about repressive taxes market women received from colonial masters then that got them riot try understand things you say, if women before Eucharia trivialized women issues like she is doing, she might not have gotten educated let alone aspire to be president, again divorces has nothing to do with feminism, pure nonsense to claim feminism is driving force behind divorces, people should learn to own up for their faults.

Chimanda Adichie queried Hillary Clinton for addressing herself first as a wife before other titles. Days later, Clinton cowered and removed the title, "wife" from the front and hid it somewhere inbetween.

Will you call that a form of misinformation or one of the ideals of feminism?

Read that post again, did you see me justify radical feminism? why will i use Adichie's utterances to define feminism? did feminism originate from her? and Clinton didn't cower, let just say she shared adichie's thoughts, petty squabbles like titles ain't anything close to ideals of feminism

lolz

You are just like saying best way you can understand Christianity is mirroring certain behaviors of its pastors and followers, like i said every movement got the radicals and even ones who dont understand what they are standing for, many things she said ain't found in feminists, feminists cook, keep the home, bear kids and are good wives and its not only women are feminists men are feminists too, unpleasant behavior of few feminists CANT erode that of others especially the feminism ideology, for someone educated she should know better.
