Just to dontan18 can hang himself !! I am not only a graduate but a working class lady!!!

donstan18:
Everyone de form graduate

i guess u r talking abt urself

donstan18:
Everyone de form graduate

i guess it talking abt urself

Well its a feminist text!! I didn't just do it in sec school but in my uni days!!

makydebbie:
Please, we know how goggle works.
You went to type as a feminist novel..
The book is not a feminist book biko.

i know u r still in a university n i guess ur school would hv the department of literature there!! Do me a favour n ask them if purple hibiscus is a feminist novel!! N see their response

donstan18:
Why will you search Purple hibiscus as a feminist novel ? , it's cheating.

Even if you search 'Purple hibiscus as a Nland Novel' , you'll still see some related shii

nope if it's not a feminist novel u won't see people doing research on it!! I know people who did their projects on purple hibiscus as a feminist text!! It's totally out of place to say it's not a feminist novel , just because there are other themes in a text!!!

Chikita66:
What were you expecting when you typed "purple hibiscus as a feminist novel"

but u said it's not a feminist novel why then is there research abt it in such contest!!

Just check please!! U ladies really need to stop insulting others just to seem intelligent to others!!

Chikita66:
You just picked the domestic violence part and left the rest, that what feminists do.

there are other themes in a book!! But thats the part that kept me interested in the book!! U said it's not a feminist book n all i plead that u ask Google!!

makydebbie:
Exactly sis. I even have the pdf on my phone and I read the book again early thus year. It centers on colonialism, religion bigotry, domestic violence and the Nigerian government. I was also a literature student. It had nothing to do with feminism at all, it's more of domestic violence than feminism. Because Mr Eugene didn't punish his wife and Kambili alone, he also punished Jaja. So how is that unfairness to the women alone? Even his father wasn't left out of his religious fanatics.


I've the pdf on my phone, I'll send it to you through whatsapp.

there are other pdf files that illustrates purple hibiscus as a feminist book as well!!! It's called critizim!! So many people give their evaluation abt a narrative based on their understanding!!

Chikita66 b4 u argue with me please check google!!!

makydebbie:
I don't feel like arguing that why I didn't quote her on that. I read purple hibiscus in secondary school too. And it's main theme was about religion bigotry.

lol so there was no woman maltreatment in that book??, chiamanda brought two families, that of Mr Eugene n anuty ufeoma!! To depict a home operated by a man n a woman, how Kimbili and jaja changed after going to anuty ifeomas house!! Kimbili is the main character, so making a lady the protagonist already makes it a feminist book!!!! Most feminist writers reacted to the fact women are hardly made the protagonist in africian books!!! Eugene was made the antagonist!! Just Google feminism in purple hibiscus!

Chikita66:
I also read that purple hibiscus in secondary school, and I assure that book is not a feminist book, in as much as it is written by a feminist. Get your fact right.

lol I even read it in university self as a feminist book!!! But why u think it's not a feminist book!!! Let me hear from u

Harshirama:
You could have said all these since and I would have agreed with you. No p with your opinions .

alright dear!! Happy sunday

Harshirama:
Points like? The reason most of us here don't understand your own brand is cos you've not been explicit enough. If you're a socialist feminist then good for you.

so this how it is for me! I dont think men r the major reason for women's oppression or patriarchy itself!!! I feel women contribute greatly to the patriarchy system!! Most of them belive men r a free ticket to success!! Marrying a rich man is their no 1 agenda!! Even tho I personally want a finacially statable man, i feel women shouldn't see that as success!!! Women view themselves lesser that's why men agree with that!!! Women are always against themselves n thsts our major problem!! I belive women should work n hvf something doing even if their spouse is a millionaire!! Women need to try to add more relevance to the society!! But thankfully there is great improvement today

I belive marriage shouldn't be the focus of the female child alone but the male child as well

I belive male children need more home training from their parents,that's the main issue we have in our society, most men hv no home training

I also believe men suffer in the patriarchy society as well
E.g we want equal salaries but we women want to keep it to ourselves mean while men pay all the bills!! Men are some worth like financial slaves!! If women what equal salaries with men they should as well be ready to take up some responsibility not just men alone, it goes on n on


N so many more depending on the issues raised!!
Am at church, that's why it took a while

Harshirama:
'taught'. You don't look like someone who uses quora.
[b]I'm just asking you to state what your own brand of feminism entails [/b]instead of trying to force it on everyone then if you're right I'd agree. That's the smart way to go about it. On quora,atheists and christians have discussions regularly and you won't see anyone shouting 'christianity' is the way.

i am not forcing anyone just wanted to find trouble!!!
@bold That to say u don't understand my brand of feminism, why then u say it's backwards?? I am a socialist feminist n i also subcribe to some points in individualist feminism

Harshirama:
If typing and stating your opinion is mental stress for you. Then I leave you in the hands of God. And how is stating your opinion with facts a privilege?.
I would like to see you argue with smart feminists on quora. You'd see your reasoning is far behind. Just ranting all day with nothing tangible to say

lol funny enough quora thought me most of what i know now!! Now let me ask u!! How is my reasoning backwards, please tell me what points exactly!!

Harshirama:
You don't know what you're standing for if you can't state your opinion in a logical manner. Makydebbie is a lady like you for bleeps sake even though she's miles ahead of you in iq.
If you can't clearly state exactly what you want and be logical then you're not far from idiocy. Some really intelligent females have spoken here and you're frustrating their efforts with your primitive reasoning. You can't even hold a simple logical argument.

my dear I hate typing!!! I can't be writing n stressing my self just so u see points with me!!! No!! If we hving an open minded discussion!! I prefer it to be short n precise!! N it not everyone that I give such privileges!! My time n well being is more important!!

donstan18:
You are a disgrace


*Spit*

lol so bitter? My dear get busy with ur life!! It's not that deep

Bbbbbbbbbbbb:
Your daftness stinks to the high heavens

i dont care!!!

highqueen:
shugavee, I have scrutinized this thread,painstakingly went through all the passages but I'm yet to understand what exactly you are fighting for.


abeg,you shouldn't talk about feminism when you have little idea about it,I guess is the tag that's making you go nut

lol I hv been a feminist since my sec days!! Started after reading my first feminist book "purple hibiscus" I know alot abt it!!! N i know exactly what i stand for!! But i am of no obligation to convince you to see reasons with my opinion!! Its social media u are allowed to agree disagree n condemn especially when u don't know the person ur talking to in particular!!!

I can see feminist issue is causing serious headache 4 this nairaland boys!!!! Feminism is the future!! Take it or leave it

goodnight all!!! #feminism is the future

donstan18:
I do pity the young girls like Shugavee who are being misled.

focus on ur famiily members!!! Pity them!!! My life is in no connection to urs!!

greiboy:
Good night and read something about feminism before you sleep

n try washing the dirt in ur brain depriving u from sense

greiboy:
"Does my write up look like someone who "looked it up on Google today"

Every single aspect of that type of feminism is more interested it anti state sentiments. I.e it doesn't want state to decide to favor a gender above another one. it doesn't want state to determine what women should do with their body. etc

it has nothing to do with your reference point.

Of course, any form of feminism don't support any type of gender prejudice, which makes me wonder what you have been advocating all this while

goodnight

Ladyhippolyta88:
Stop frustrating shugavee and Amarabae it is not cool.

frustrating who!! Please sis., u should know me by now!! If u don't add money to my account, ur existance makes no meaning to me!! Let him do his bidding

greiboy:
No, t,hat is not what individualist feminism stands for, go and study more.

just because u checked on it on Google today?? Keep reading!! Then u get where those points came from!! It's also focuses that there should no sentimental treatment given to women!!we should be equal in everything even if it doesn't benefit women!! Greiboy look up!! I dont care!! If u make my matter a major job in ur lif!! Na u sabi
