You have started... You have a husband you cook for, respect, a child yet you are deceiving gullible girls and women alike.


I think she is using this 'feminism-ish' to remain relevant internationally.


What has feminism got to do with Mary and Magdalene?

You and Chimamanda should keep shut.

Jesus Christ said wives should be submissive to their husband because he is the head of the wife. Feminism kicks against that.

Ephesians 5:22-33 (KJV)

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;


Wives are to submit and Husbands are to love. That is what Jesus passed on to his disciples which Satan is trying to change today.
They are talking about man and women, female, male not marriage oh... Na wah

What a coincidence reading this just after completing my paper on Feminism and Religion.
I am so clueless on where to have it published.

Perhaps we should all look at feminism in a positive angle, the fight for equality.
Feminism is a movement and not a fight against men.

I encourage women to actively participate in politics and governance.

Religion and common sense do not mix.

I can't remember the last time I saw a bible. Seeing all those verses on the first page gave me headache...

saying women are inferior to men, because they don't have same physical strength. Is akin to saying the white race is superior to the black race because they have more mental strength. After all, the white man produced almost every gadamn thing blacks use.

If you don't agree to the later, but you agree to the former, you are either a hypocrite or a stupid goat.

During a press conference yesterday, award winning author Chimamanda Adichie spoke on religion and how it relates to feminism.

She spoke on how people often use the Bible wrongly to justify their stance against feminism. According to her, Jesus Christ treated women like his equals and were the once that first saw him when he resurrected.



The audience responds:



Chimamanda continues:

you need to calm down bro.... you sound like you're taking it a little too personal

Apostle Paul wrote the letter.

and prior to verse 22
Ephesians 5:21-33 New International Version (NIV)
Instructions for Christian Households
"21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."
- this is often left out, you start to wonder why?

I know why.....when you don't have control over yourself and your emotions you start to find ways to control others.

A member of the audience pointed out that men and women were created differently, therefore it is flawed to say they are equal.

He said:



In reply, Chimamanda explained that men and women are indeed different, but equal.

She said:




https://www.wotzup.ng/2018/09/chimamanda-jesus-symbol-gender-equality/

I think chimamanda is correct.

She's not saying that men are no longer the head of the family, but that women are not to be treated as slaves or objects.

She's very correct.

For instance, the traditional marriage rituals insinuate that women are properties you go to the market and buy. You have to pay the seller to go with your property.

And women are foolish enough to continue in these traditions. Some even brag about it by saying they're expensive, and not cheap.

Can you imagine that kind of mentality?

You used to back up some of your opinions with solid logic, but this one is standing on shaky legs.
There are millions of men who never did the works you listed either due to physical limitation
or life choice.

Look at Tinubu, do you think he has the energy to lift cement bags at building sites?
Does that make him inferior to other men who can?

What Adichie is saying that a woman shouldn't be discouraged or stopped from doing what she wants because she is a woman.
It is all about choice.

God didn’t create man and woman equally.

Two fornicated in the Bible, only the woman was about to be crucified if not Jesus stopped them.
Till today, the Bible never talk or mention anything about the man who fornicated with the woman.

This woman is only deceiving people with his feminism stuff, it’s an avenue for her to make money and add more to her fame.
Who wanted to crucify only the woman?
Hypocritical priests or God?

interesting! So wives should submit......and the husband shoudnt submit too? But authoritatively holding on to his order's without an input from the wife?

Which love are you even talking about too when the husband does not submit to the wive too for love sake.
