Mindfulness:she always suggest in her books how men are good for nothing animalistic barbarians. Don't expect her to it out I'm a literary critic so I easily spot those underlying messages |

Mindfulness:secondly what do you mean by respect for women? I've heard that phrase for at least 10,000 times and I still don't know what it means |

Mindfulness:I don't need her. I've heard people say " all women must be respected" but none of them has been able to explain to me why and that includes you. I guess you all just want to say things that sounds satisfying to you. Respect is earned not demanded, no one automatically earns respect on the basis his /her gender. |

Mindfulness:all criticisms are subjective that doesn't mean I'm wrong or I'm the only one seeing those subtle messages in her books |

Mindfulness:lol. Are you not living on this earth where women drag men on the floor because they are the breadwinners? The reason men have more respect is simply because almost every good thing you see in this world today is the invention of a man. In Africa, a man is expected to build a house buy a car pay your bride price and take care of you. There is no way on earth I will be taking care of you while you are living under my roof and try to rub shoulders with me. Even in the west 90% of the families survive on the man's money even during divorce most of his properties goes to female how on earth do I see you as my equal? |

lilbest4: Let's be honest with ourselves... Most Nigerian men demand respect based solely on their gender, like the thing between their legs qualifies them as respectable. A lot of sexism (look it up) continues to predominate most aspects of our daily lives: whether corporate, social, or political... It is backward, and stupid... Are we gonna pretend like we don't still hear stuff like: "You mean you were beaten by a woman?" or "How could a woman have been picked to head that department?", etc... A lot of Nigerian men get really envious, offended, and upset when a woman achieves a feat hitherto predominated by men... Most even deliberately choose to frustrate women heads, and the few that are supportive do it very reluctantly... I could go on and on, but the harsh reality stares us in the face... I'm not trying to score cheap points with the ladies here (I couldn't give a flying f...), but the chauvinistic and sexist attitude of most Nigerian men is getting more and more pointless in the face of a fast-evolving world. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Angelfrost:that's a whole lot of bullish... You wrote up there. In my department in school, the former HOD was a woman, the current one is a woman, the former VC was a woman, the former Dean was a woman. No one really gives a shiit what gender you are the problem is that most women aren't mature enough to accept loss or rejection that's why they play the gender card when they don't win a position. In 2016, after Clinton lost the US presidential election, all the women in America took to the streets to protest that women rights were under threat like WTF so you are supposed to just win because you are a woman? That's what most women do and when things don't go their way they play gender victim card. Most Men are believed to be physically stronger than women, tell a woman to load bags of cement into a truck she will remind you that she is a woman and that she is not as strong as you but tell her is a weaker sex she will call you a misogynist(whatever they think that rubbish means) such a confused lot |
