My Experience At A Wedding Affected My View On Gender Equality by 30naira: 4:50pm On Jul 25, 2020
Today, I attended a wedding ceremony. At the reception, the couple tried to maintain social distancing inside the reception hall, so there were limited seats. Most of the guests were in the open field outside. I sat behind two ladies, who should be in their mid or late twenties. I wasn't really paying much attention to them.

After a while, they left their seat and went out. After about 5 minutes two guys came, and sat down in the empty seats the ladies left. These guy are obviously in their early twenties.

About 30 minutes later, the two girls came back inside, I noticed that one of them has had a change of cloths. So obviously they went home and returned.

The girls demanded that the guys should leave the seat, because they got there first. It is their seat. As expected the guys bluntly refused. The girls started raising their voice and cursing. No one really cared to listen to them, the boys were busy consuming the drinks on the table.

One of the ladies got frustrated by the indifference of the boys, grabbed a glass of juice from the table and threw the content at the guy's face. The guy in turn opened the entire can, got up and started pouring it on the girl's head, ruining her make up and soaking her weavon.

Next thing we saw, the girl grabbed him by the collar with both hands, tearing at his skin with her nails. Before you could say Jack, the guy started raining down slaps on her face, she fought back too.

Before we could rush down, the girl had a bleeding nose and a red swollen face.

Now this is the part that particular offended me. Everyone that gathered round started heaping insult on the boy for beating up a girl, despite the fact that she initiated physical contact. Some women even went as far as threatening to arrest the boy. The entire narrative changed quickly. Some stupid men even tried to beat up the boys. I stood my ground and insisted that if anybody lays a finger on the boy, I ll see to it that everybody is kicked out of the reception.

It took the intervention of the officiating minister to calm the crowd. Everyone was insisting that he would pay for the girl's medical bills. Funny thing is that the guy had finger marks all over his neck. She was sobbing and attracting sympathy left and right, as if she was not the one barking like an animal moments earlier. In the end, it was the guys that were kicked out, the girls had the seat.

I get confused about this gender equality stuff, women want to be treated like men and treated differently at the same time. You can't claim equality only when it suits you. If it were two guys fighting, I'm sure they ll both be kicked out and nobody will spare a thought for the injured, there ll be no sobbing or comforting, it ll just be seen as two people disturbing the peace. But everyone is suddenly acting up to protect an equal specie, who is also the offender, and the females see nothing wrong in this inequality

Do you want equality or not?
Personally I respect and treat everyone equally, but if you initiate physical contact, male or female I will retaliate with the same ferocity.

Hmmm undecided

Just consider yourself fighting with Yusuf Buhari, whether you are right or not, you will be dealt with by strong forces. That's how it plays out usually.

However, women are weaker vessels, no matter what transpires between you both, it will be perceived as if you are intentionally using naked powers on them. They will surely be listened to.

Have you considered great men that were thoroughly dealt with by women? Just because the man has bluntly refused her sex, probably in the office, and the next thing the woman would do is tear her own clothes to project rape. On this, never expect the man to be listened to. Both men and women will gather to condemn him.

The point is, women are stronger. Take it and be a man, or you leave it and be dealt with.

I am not trying to justify what the lady did, but never raise your hand on a lady as a man. Don't.

A woman should never incite violence if she can't bear the backlash.


I don't go to challenge a taekwondo fighter to a fight when I don't have a chance of beating him or can't bear the beating he'll dish.


Shey the guy should have just stood there smiling, until she breaks a bottle and stab him?


The woman's emotions drove her to slap the guy, at that point she automatically becomes a man too.

USA slap China, China revenge. No harsh feelings

In the military, they are trained not to shoot at civilians (don't know about our naija militia)

However, when those civilians are armed and are out to kill you (the military man) the narrative changes to defend yourself.

I love women, really I do. But the thing is, if one stands behind me, I'll defend her (anyone that stands behind me). If one stands against me (anyone that stands against me) will get it as hot as they serve.


I'm a strong proponent of responsible tit for tat.


For all those saying walk away when a woman hits you, but will hit a man back. You are a sexist.




Thanks for the upvotes

Frankly, I don't support violence of any kind. I don't also condone taking advantage of one's gender (particularly being female) to win cheap points and sympathy. If your narrative is true, then it's unfortunate. All this feminism rubbish with the advent of social media and a collapsing foundation of true Value, I don't see a way out yet. Our parents have failed woefully. If our parents'focused more on raising balanced kids who knw their place and worth and are disciplined, we won't have such issues. Well, let the gentleman always be it. Seek ways to ward off such ladies without a physical confrontation.

Our ladies are impatient and act the way they do because the society will back them up. They are guest like the guys and if they left 30minutes, someone else should take up the vacant seat. She could have called witness in the least instead of act foolishly.

BS.

Why didn't she go off and explain to the organizer of the occasion?

Maybe she would have gotten another chair?

No, she decided to humiliate the guy, and here you are saying the guy should have walked away and bear the emotional trauma for life.

He should walk away and cower whenever a woman challenges him.

He should happily accept being oppressed.

That's a pathetic life bro.


Modified.


When I was young, I'd beat my immediate elder sister, and she'll beat me back harder.

I cried to mummy and you know what she always told me?

“Don’t carry a small hand to go and beat someone with a big hand”

Only then will she tell my sister to beat me small small, to which my sister would reply “if he doesn't want to receive big, let him not beat me”

I learned to measure my opponent.

If I no go fit beat you equally or more, I won't start the attack.

If you start first, I can cry all I want and hustle beating back for you.


Ladies need to learn!

Don't mind them.

And NockMedia is here saying he should have walked away, with juice in his clothes.

And when the same guy meets another woman at the ATM claiming she came before him, he should make way.

And then at the filling station, the supermarket.

Men should always walk away.

Untill women start feeling entitled, every “Good’ man should walk away when a woman start nonsense

I see things the way you do too, but some guys nor get joy oo. It only takes a hard experience for some ladies to learn that they should never raise their voices or hands on men if they don't want to get beaten up. It takes a high level of self control for a man to resist hitting a woman, and I don't really blame guys who do.

I’m glad more people are beginning to recognise the FEMALE PRIVILEGE these women have always enjoyed in the guise of being the weaker (or fairer) sex.


That guy needs to be applauded for choosing to pour juice on the idîot of a woman instead of landing her a well deserved slap. He waited until she assaulted him before returning the favour.

Anyway, society has been manipulated into expecting simp behaviour from men. I am not surprised that those other male guests were flexing useless muscles because of a stûpid damsel in distress.

One thing is sure.

She would never in her life raise her hand at any man without counting the cost. I still don’t understand why women would harm a man and be surprised or outraged when he retaliates. I mean! It should be expected. There is an equal and opposite reaction for every action.


Women should pick a struggle. Equal responsibilities or the present preferential treatment they enjoy because of chivalry.

Because the lady is a child or invalid or because men are natural punching bags?

Every human being reserves the right to defend himself until the danger passes. That lady probably shared your thoughts once upon a time, but thankfully, she has been disabused by that young man.
