but if it be a shame

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man she must be quiet.

13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

hifaif: You talk of choices. What choices when god kept on hardening his heart. There were clearly no choice. The only choice was to stop the Israelites from leaving (a choice caused by the hardening of his heart. Something he didn't decide for himself. A choice that was made for him by god).

I agree life isn't fair though. But in the case of that particular pharaoh, it was god that was not fair.

Martian: Can a puppet choose?

Who is to blame if the puppet knocks over a glass of water? The puppet or the person controlling the puppet?

Who are we to blame for the pharoah's "hardened heart" in the exodus legend? The Pharoah or the God that "hardened his heart"

Onegai: Wow, you read what I typed and that was your takeaway

I frankly don't care if men like football, I liked it and not because men were there (if that's how your mind works, well ) To explain in simple English, everyone watched the match, but my HOD assumed no females watched it because he thinks "Footie is for boys only".

Did I use simple enough English, do you understand now sweetie, or do you want me to make you a crayon drawing so you can comprehend?

Onegai: A woman's degree is to make her more marketable as a future housewife. Ain't making that shii up, during final year, my HOD (Engineering) announced that to all the girls. That most of us won't practise Engineering because we would get married, start having kids and complaining we can't go to site, because we're pregnant or we have to get home on-time. Sadly, I've worked with female engineers who use those stup.id excuses. I keep wanting to ask "why didn't you just read 'English, French' or some non-professional course'.

It also annoyed me, the day after Arsenal lost a final to another team, the same HOD came to class, and was gisting about the match with us, then suddenly announced "oh the ladies won't understand what we are talking about, they must look blank when we speak about Football". Why, we don't understand 22 men and a ball for 90 minutes? Is that too hard? Meanwhile, almost all the girls had screamed and watched the match and some had jerseys sef. We just sat there and stared at him.

Pavore9: Life expectancy for the men in Nigeria is lower than that of the women

and most widowers re-marry.

sisiafrika: Feminist=Lesbians

hifaif: Yes. Sounds like what only a power-drunk god with human weaknesses would do.

Litmus: People make a lot of false assumptions about Nigeria.

And we share with the rest of Africa that insufferable habit of seeing the truth in what people say about us even when there's none.

When i was young the girls in my family could do whatever they wanted

except sleep with men before marriage.

The boys were much more under heavy discipline. The girls were thought to be graceful, i remember that - things such as how to walk, sit, talk, cook, etc. How to treat men according to traditional custom was indeed on the curriculum but us guys were also thought how to treat women and it was with a lot of respect. Girls weren't limited in what they could study any more than boys...

Generally i find that black women are for more liberated than white women but because conventions dictates that Whites are more advanced they tend to think that they are more liberated (but they are so only in sexual terms) and, because, as i stated above, the African tends to see the truth in whatever is said about him, he takes it as given, in this instance, that black women are more oppressed than white women.

ladygogo: You can label the writer what you may and whatever you damn well please.

It, however, still doesn't change the fact that it's a satire and it's what a lot of Nigerian women experience on a daily basis.

My craze don dey comeback

jearile: In the sense that they are more deprave and wayward than their peers whose parents are not even Christians.
