Feminism or no feminism...during rescue missions it should always be women and children first. As for beauty peagents it has more to do with physical beauty than with brains.

feminism is not gender war. am a feminist because I believe in equal representatio of both genders, this do not interfere with gender roles.
A man who wants the best for his daughter is a feminist.
Feminist movement come into play when girls are deprived of rights in society. when girls are relegated to kitchen and lack of exposure. When girls are made to believe that they have nothing to offer to society. Feminism is female liberation from inferiority complex
Feminism has nothing to with relationship or gender war. both genders needs each other.

Yes, everyone is different, but saying women are not equal to men is wrong. Maybe you meant different.

I think I understand your meaning of equal now in the context in which it was used. Some men are not equal to women and some women are not equal to men.

Equality means sameness, from the dictionary. So men aren't equal to women.
Men And their xtics should not be the subject of a woman's completeness cos that means changing your nature.

Equity states that despite our differences, you can enjoy same Human Rights.
The highest form of inequality is to make sure group equal to what they aren't. Women are the ones that will burn out in this process

Which dictionary defined equality as sameness?

This is the definition of equality as relating to genders

equality
/ɪˈkwɒlɪti,iːˈkwɒlɪti/
noun
noun: equality; plural noun: equalities
1.
the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities.
"an organization aiming to promote racial equality"

If you want to define equality as sameness that wouldn't even make sense, no two men are the same talk less of men and women yet you want to group all men under the umbrella of being superior to women.

Equality and Sameness are synonyms we agree, but not the same definition.

Definition of sameness
lack of variety; uniformity or monotony.

The white man is not the same as the black man, heck even 2 black men are not the same, but that does not mean they are not equal, except you want to go with George Orwell's animal farm. "All men are equal, but some are more equal than others".

Definition of Equality
the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities.
"an organization aiming to promote racial equality"

Men and women should be equal, same as the black man should be equal to the white man.

A good question to ask is who are the organizers and sponsors of the pageant and what are they trying to achieve......

Some of these things are sponsored by foreign bodies who are trying to quietly slip in certain ideologies into our society for some unknown agenda......

These variables should have similar rights not equality.
Use Oxford to check it, equality is sameness and can only be gained by removing excess from a group and giving it to the other, a form of instituting inequality.

Race and gender aren't the same. Race is wider, with gender within it. Gender is too narrow and specific to be the same or equal. We share different physiochemical and biological differences that can't make us equal

Sameness has to do with ability, while equality has to do with value.

So men and women are not the same, but they are equal.

Humans, So hypocritical.... I laugh in mockery when I read in the news of NASA's search for life outside our planet, For some reason they think that humans could live in peace with (green, blue or whatever coloured) aliens on the same planet.... War, Racism, Tribalism, Cultural and Religious differences even geographical zones continues to keep us in disunity.. and now y'all wanna add gender to it.... Why?? I bet if every individual was of the same country, race, tribe, gender, cultural and religious backgrounds... Humans will still look for a way to f*ck that up too by fighting about something else.... It never truly ends. Does it??

Recently, I was at a beauty pageant audition in Lagos which saw many good looking girls jostling to make it to the final cut. The girls did their best to impress the judges who really were weeding some of them out not for lack of brains but for lack of 100% beauty. At some point, I got tired because some of the girls whom I thought would get a nod were actually shown the door. They were shown the door simply because their beauty wasn’t as impressive as their brains. Amazingly, those on the reverse case were picked.

Without much Ado, the part that pissed me off the most at the beauty pageant audition was when the judges were asking all the girls if they were feminists. Their questions were designed in such a way that all the girls had to identify with feminism. They first asked them to state how they would empower women when they become a beauty queen. Many of the girls reeled out nice points on how they will ensure women don’t lack anything and are respected in society. Then came the question ”are you a feminist?”.

Some of the girls said they were, but they couldn’t explain what feminism is. Perhaps they just gave the answer to impress the judges so they could move to the next stage of the audition.

Majority of the girls at the beauty pageant audition who gave no as an answered were made to look stupid before the judges. According to the judges, ”how can you not be a feminist when you just spoke of how you will empower women?”. I could see many of them making a U-turn, and all of a sudden they are now feminists. Though it may sound as if they just wanted to impress the judges, the damage is that such girls will go home affiliating with feminism without having a full grasp of its true meaning. I could count close to a hundred and fifty girls at the audition that day, and that was just for Lagos (other regions to follow).

It’s as if there’s a huge campaign for feminism to take hold in Nigeria. Why would they want the innocent young girls to to identify with feminism? Why must a beauty queen’s influence in the society be towards the female gender alone? Are they trying to create biased people? Why can’t a beauty queen’s influence be towards humanity irrespective of gender?

These feminists keep screaming that they are not man-haters and that all they want is equal rights. They want women to enjoy the same privileges as men. Have they ever asked for equal rights in the war against Boko Haram, where out of a hundred soldiers in the battle field, 50 will be women?

If men are to start fighting for the male gender alone, I believe many women will suffer. Nowadays, during rescue missions, all we hear is ”women and children first”. Men don’t complain when such statements are made, as a matter of fact it usually comes from them. Guess who doesn’t complain as well? Feminists. But dare to make a statement like ”Men and children first” and see who will complain. The feminists will complain because they know it’s bad and inhumane to be gender biased, yet that’s what they represent.

https://www.wotzup.ng/2018/10/noticed-beauty-pageant-audition-lagos/

Who forced men to make such statements ? Is it not men that usually make such rules ?

By the way such rules no longer exist. Expect children first.

am talking about feminism and not gender equality. we are saying the same thing

"this means a woman who wishes to serve and protect her father land can serve in the army in her own capacity..even though she might be physically/anatomically different or not as strong as the male soldiers in the battlefield she can still contribute her quota in intelligence gathering and the likes...now that is equity."

Feminism is not gender war. It's about compromise and accepting the both genders to create impact in society

You're confusing me. You don't need gender equality

I'll find a way for all of us to leave But if there's only one way out then the children can go but we both should sort ourselves out Some men try to belittle women very much It's this same mentality that is why some men are treating women like inferiors in the name of 'women are weak'

so u will tell ur wife to remain with u and face d robbers?cheesy.. Na wacheesy. Women dat cry at every little pressure. Bros what a real man will do if they all cant escape at once is to tell the wife to run with the kids to safety while he alone waits while the robbers break into d house. So this means had u been a fellow passenger at the RMS Titanic u would have held back ur wife and allowed only the kids to enter the lifeboats while d other men would be putting their wife and kids on the lifeboatcheesy.
