| Romance › Re: #DEBATE: A Man Should Assert His Superiority/Authority In A Relationship.#~LIVE~ by UjSizzle(f): 4:24pm On Oct 12, 2012 |
Good evening Moderator, Panel of Judges, Viewers. I am here to oppose the motion “A Man Is Right to Assert His Superiority/Authority in a Relationship”. Before I proceed any further I will like to define some key words for the sake of clarity. English mini dictionary gives the following definitions for ‘Right, Assert, Superiority, and Authority’. Right: 1. Morally good or justified. 2. Factually correct. Assert: Exercise one’s rights. Superiority: 1. To be of higher status, quality. 2. To think oneself better than others. Authority: The power to order and enforce obedience. Following these definitions I can assume that the proposition implies that a man by evidence of facts and morality can assume a position of higher status and a feeling of exaggerated importance in a relationship having the power to enforce obedience by way of influence and physical strength. This I stand to disagree with. It is of importance to note that for an action to be termed as ‘right’ it must have evidence of fact and moral justification. A relationship is a connection between two people. For a relationship to exist there has to be an understanding between both party each having their individual responsibility, with both working together to sustain it. For a man to totally assume that his role is of more importance than his partner’s is completely unacceptable. Most people will agree that without a willing cooperation on both sides a relationship is bound to fail. In the marital strata women have been known to contribute their fair share of time and energy in their relationships. In intimate relationships that exists outside marriage it is completely difficult to find a man who is willing to have a girlfriend he’s spending money on without expecting some benefits in return. Taking a journey down history, women have been treated as the inferior and less important sex, and within their relationships taken as slaves rather than companions. But following the international women conference of the 1800’s an act was enacted for the equality of the sexes and today the world and especially the family is reaping the benefits. Within Nigeria, women have always played a significant role in their families as custodians and builders. They have worked alongside their men; earned wages and these wages accepted as a contribution to their relationships, have nurtured and cared for their men bringing to mind a popular saying that “behind a successful man is a woman”, this goes to emphasize the importance of a woman in a relationship. Taking a drift to religion, my opponents may argue that they have divine authority to assert superiority and authority but I beg to differ. Let us take a look at creation and the divine mandate. Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them (male and female). And God said to them, ‘…subdue the earth and have dominion over everything that moves’. “ Genesis 2:24 “…and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” Can anyone be kind enough to point out where any of these scriptures specifically says a man is to have superiority (dominion) and authority (subdue) over his partner? It does not in anywhere state that but instead encourages unity and equality (becoming one flesh) in a relationship. Every man seeks a companion out of an innate need for a helper and a friend. Do you go about treating a friend like a slave or do you treat her like an equal knowing she is adding value to you? Any man seeking to express his natural desire to possess and subdue will be better off acquiring a pet. I hope in subsequent rounds to fully convince you without a trace of doubt that a man is not right either by reason, law or divinity to assert his superiority and authority in a relationship. Thank you. 9 Likes |

Next one. Author's British. Write children's book known by numerous scenes of recurring characters. Author's books are pretty much popular in libraries. That last option's a give away. Who's the author? |

When you say 'poor peoples money' how much do u even think they contribute? 10naira,20,highest 100naira.....how much of that can buy a plane? How many rich men attend those churches? Numerous!! Has it occured to u they are freely giving money to their pastorr? And u are all here drinking panadol for happy people's headaches. You talk of charity...how often have u lent a helping hand to someone in need? Everytime u do, do u go about screaming it at the top of ur voice? Why should they? Just coz u dnt hear it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Anyways Jesus suffered criticisms, i'm sure they are glad to for Jesus also. 1 Like |

He's right. Marriage isn't child's play and there's a lot more to consider than just love. Right now it seems you're just thinking with your emotions and nothing else. |
