CultureWhy I Am Not A Feminist. by Speeechless3(op): 8:28am On Jul 04, 2016
There is just this thing which comes up...correction it doesn't just come up but I think my generation grew up into it...more like became aware of it. Some are repelled by it for whatever reason(s),some have embraced it with the whole fibre of their beings for reason(s) which they honestly believe in...some are on the fence too for some reasons or maybe just indecision has kept them there. For me,...oh well, maybe when I am done, you can help me define my stance but first I have a story...
Some months ago,a notable legal personality cum scholar came to lecture us on a particular topic which he has an expertise in. The class was filled up, believe me, that course gives more than half of us the bejeezus so I guess my classmates were as curious as I was to meet the man who was a guru at it. He came but with a group of people who at introduction were all legal practitioners. They were all men with just one lady. They were all given a seat in front of the class while the legal guru rendered his superb lecture. By the way, that was the most interesting land law lecture of my life. I listened to him speak and I also watched the rest keenly. Some of them were interested and enjoyed it too like some of us but some were bored and were trying to wait out the lecture, none looked as bored as the lady while she crossed her legs and chewed her gum very decently( rare skill I assure you). My lecturer was in the bid to bring the lecture to a grand close, then one of the rest indicated an interest to talk to us. As we discovered, He was a Lion and President of a Customary Court of Appeal;his dress sense and speech skills were impeccable, I was impressed. After his charge, the meeting was brought to a close and we all dispersed. As I was heading back to my hostel, one of my course mates caught up with me and asked me after pleasantries whether I felt the woman was (marginalized or discriminated against, I can't remember his exact diction). I laughed then told me that I didn't because she didn't have any interest to talk to us and if she did, she didn't show it and I knew no one there was a mind reader. I brought to his remembrance the President who indicated interest and was given a chance. He smiled, gave me a look and walked on. I didn't give the issue more thinking time then.
That's the end of my story but you see pals, the concept I have been trying to shape my words around since up there is feminism. My real encounter with this concept was in 200level with the study of Children, Women and the Law. My mind was opened to information, facts, issues and so much more about this concept, some genuine and some ridiculous in my opinion. It made me seek counsel both scholarly, spiritually and some -ally ways I cannot define.
I discovered that I don't want to be a feminist not because I don't want to believe in women and their ability to deliver at responsibilities but simply because I realized that the word 'feminism' does not have an "in rem" definition. It then means if I say I am one, what is in my mind may not match what is in yours and no way I am going to let what I don't know define me.(Aside: also because many man-haters are using the concept as a cloak)
So I decided that I am an ardent believer of give honour to whom honour is due, gender notwithstanding. If the skirt can do it better than the trousers, she should not be sidelined simply because she is the skirt. She should be allowed to achieve her dreams and goals. She should be allowed to compete with the male for things which God in Heaven has not forbidden her to compete for and not be intimidated simply because she is female. If she wants to climb a tree, allow her to, I believe she's counted the cost of climbing a tree. I decided that I am against subduing and oppressing of women simply because they are women and they 'cannot do anything'.
When it comes to the divine aspect, on the authority of the Bible, I believe that men and women are created equal but their duties and responsibilities are different. Check out the curses of Adam and Eve. God has made them both different and none inferior to each other but each to complement and supplement each other in view of achieving one goal.
Then,to my fellow ladies, woman is the love child of God Almighty. It was only before making her that God admitted that something was not good in His own paradise. The favorite of a parent can never be sidelined even if he or she is the youngest. Always seek out, work towards and stand in God's will for your life and no man or woman will be able to topple you. You remember that bae in the bible called Deborah...
Another thing I discovered is that this concept is a Changeling and in my suggestion has to be applied like the mischief rule. What I am saying in essence is that objectivity should be made a main focus while dealing with any real or seeming issue of feminine discrimination.
Again I discovered that no matter how much we protest, shriek and stamp our dainty little feets, some deepseated customs can never change. My grandpa will never let me go get the yam from his barn and would prefer Ekene my toddler nephew to go get it. You think I should barge into the barn like a heroine and get the yam to show him? Lol, no way. Here, the battle is won in the mind. You are not inferior to the male simply because custom says so. Grandpa has his way but my mind gets my say...believe me,that's all that matters...

A close friend of mine is academically very sound and she likes short skirts/gowns... For someone like me without being hypocritical, even my wife to be should wear short gowns occasionally... She just have to look good and sexxy for me her husband not that it will be an everyday stuff but if we are going out together... Bingo... Perfect time to wear such with exceptions to cases where the occasion demands otherwise...
Well said smiley But is your anus really smelly? Lol

SAINTSAMURAII:
yeah its both lack of morals and brain deficiency, for example, in the universities, you will agree with me that ladies that dress provocatively, are the students that have nothing upstairs, the ones that sleeps with lecturers just to pass exams, so you see, they both lack morals and brains.
That's not true. Or rather always true. You are just being biased

obiorathesubtle:
Lol.. Every human has a brain.. As long as you can conceive the thought to put something on.. That thought was conceived in the brain..



But when a girl dresses like a slut undecided she's indirectly telling us she doesn't want that brain anymore and she'd probably be better off without it..
Can't it be she might be having a good time or getting to know what works for her body? At that point she is without her brain to you? arhn.
And should we limit judging her intelligence to just dress sense then every well covered girl is brainy and smart. Huh?

donbenedict:
I think a girl who is smart will not think with her body.
You think. Well you might be wrong by half since there is no such thing as thinking with one's body.
RomanceRe: Does Dressing Provocatively Really Equals Having No Brains? by Speeechless3(op): 6:31pm On Jun 29, 2016
SAINTSAMURAII:
Yes it equals no brain. becaus a lady with a brain, a lady that has dignity, a lady that respect herself, her body, her family, her legacy, a lady that wants good name for herself, will not dress provocatively. Dressing provocatively means you have nothing to offer than your body, it means the lady is inviting men to come have sex with her, it means she has no brain.
Can't it be a moral lack instead of brain deficiency? You think they are not smart !

True. I dont like it too but some pretty people can be unnecessarily cocky and then the temptation comes to, to downplay their looks, the only thing they have.
