Even amongst men, sadly not all men are equal, Africans are still fighting and dealing with racism stigma across the world. Even very successful footballers like Eto still have to contend with condescending views of white men. I dont know if we would have ever have an equal world till Christ comes back |

... women to pay groom price ... men to carry 9 months pregnancy ... men to breastfeed their babies ... women to be the head of the family ................................................... ................................................... Chimamanda, you cannot change God's law! You cannot be God! You cannot be wiser than God! How civilized or knowledge you think you have, don't turn against God. If you say "men be fair to women", its understandable but not trying to knock off what God has instituted. A woman is a "help meet" that is what the bible says, but a should never insult or treat a woman badly, "Husbands love your wives" that is what the scripture says. Man was created before a woman, ask Mr Adams! 2 Likes 1 Share |

TalkTalkTwins: i hope when you are married and give birth to both boys and girls and they attain the age of 15 you will ask the girl child to wash the cars, fetch water, weed the grasses, do all the hard jobs that we feel are meant for guys... when you beat both of them for wrongs, i hope you will allow the male child cry and not shut him that he is a man and doesnt have to cry. i hope your husband gives equal amount of pocket money given to the girl child to the boy and finally, you have to share the responsibilities equally with your husband ranging from rents, bills, school fees, shopping bills etc if you are not here to monitor all these then your feminism claim is false 2 Likes |

spikemmy: A hater spotted You didn't even read the line that I was a guy, but anyways let me give you some relevance. The answers to your questions: - Even as boys, we all don't have the same ability, so why should my girls do the hard jobs? I remember in secondary school, I didn't do any manual labor because I didn't look strong. We had stronger boys then, but now my school has employed staff to do the works though. - I won't even let my female kids cry, which kid deserves to? Do kids cry when happy? - I'm working, so I should be able to take care of my family. How we do that isn't your bleeping business. I hope your questions are answered now? 6 Likes |

ORIENTATION101: Since feminism wouldn't bridge them, would you now let a woman be higher than you? There are no doubt a good number of ways they are superior too. Won't you hold onto that to say they are the superior sexes? |

Shelumiel: Why does equality not fit your culture? So it's okay if a widow is not allowed to inherit her husband's properties even though it's likely they both worked hard for it. I also have issue with her feminism thing generally but all the points she stated in that pidgin interview are things that need to be resolved. I think her view on feminism is shaped by her Igbo culture where women are not allowed to inherit husband properties... she has a point. But the mistake she made was joining forces with empty headed feminist in Western world. Aside from equal pay, those ones no get anything to say. I think she need to put things in context when she talk about feminism. She should be talking about equal rights. But are Nija women ready to do 50/50 for family expense. My madam only wan give 25% of her pay while she expect me as the husband to spend 100% of my pay on the family. 3 Likes |

TalkTalkTwins: I am not a hater.. I dont know you, you do not know me.. why will i hate you for your opinion? - You cannot compare the mental strenght of a boy to that of a girl. Hence, 70% of guys are physically stronger... Mind you, your children will go wrong and you (someone) will scold them they will express themselves emotionally.. asking a boy to bottle up will make give him a mental advantage over the girl child. Finally, how you intend to run your family has never been my biz and wont.. N.B I am not against helping your partner. I feel we cannot be equal cos we are created to compliment eachother not competition... Good day 1 Like |

She has not said anything that's out of place. I'm very sure, if there wasn't a continuous push for fairness to us, people of color, we'd all still be in chains by now and feminism would be least of our worries. |

spikemmy: I repeat... I AM A GUY The mental strength is personal, there are intelligent guys and also intelligent girls. it is more of personal... I didn't mean you were my hater, I meant you were CHIMAAMANDA's hater. If you can ask a guy to bottle up, you can also ask a girl.

Shelumiel: Your culture once had twins being thrown into the forbidden forest, the Osu caste system that ruined many lives, forced female genital mutilation, child marriage, breast ironing, torture of widows and sexual assault. Culture has changed before. Shitty aspects of it have been thrown out. Elements that violate the fundamental human rights of others are shite. People that blindly cling to "it's the culture" have wasted the funds invested in their education. 4 Likes 1 Share |
