You have shown you lack a basic understanding if who the Taliban are or what they stand for.
Fact is, most of the people killed thus far are men & boys fighting as child soldiers.
In some cases, these men & boys fight with virtually nothing to protect their women, children & freedom.
So for every woman & child enslaved by the taliban, hundreds of men died fighting to protect them & hundred are still dieing to free them.

Last time I checked, Kurdish women were fighting Isis in Syria while about 43 Afgan women are gearing up to join the fight against Taliban.

So Mariesucre, since u're obviously concerned about the plight of the oppressed Afgan woman, when are you joining the fight to end their oppression?

lady2lady:
It's in Nigeria or Africa we see such things , no regard for Woman and they're always disregarded in all things.

It's Only in America and all the rest of them , Woman are Respected.
They have equal rights etc

It's only in abroad that you'll see a Woman Take a Man out and Pay the Bills.

It's Only in Abroad that you will see Woman contest for presidential Elections. But Here In Nigeria , We're often told we know nothing and can't rule.

You got it twisted once again...I remember reiterating that I give realistic opinion so YES they are MY realistic opinion which should never be juxtaposed to my persona.

For instance I have never cheated on my ex of many years but does that mean guys don't cheat or should that make me start deceiving ladies guys are faithful?

Let me state emphatically that I am a thorough breed in terms of sexual decency,respect for women and believe it or not, im the type of man ladies will fast and pray to have but when it comes to writing stuffs...I will rather stick to reality rather than fictions.

seggzz:


(1) Since there is no law against women raping men, it shows that your gender is favoured.

(2) No law is against women for being voted for. Women hardly contest for politics in Nigeria, does this show any form of inequality here?

(3) Check the military and other life threatening Jobs sector in Nigeria,they are mostly occupy by male. Do you know the reasons for this? one of the reasons is that you hardly see female applying for such job. And even if you see any of them in such sector, they are usually given the juicy and less threatening posts just because of 'she is a woman'. Banks do employ females singles than men even in Nigeria.

(4)Can threads opening on bride price make you pay your husband or boyfriend family groom price? Is it not still inequality? Who is benefiting more here?

(5) Taking care of children is natural law and not society inequality. It is one of the natural things that makes you a woman. Of what use is your breasts and other of your organ if not for a natural purpose. Men do care for their children as well...

One thing I know is that respect has to come from both sides to make things work out. Some ladies don't have respect and the crave for respect. Also the men as well. Who go give you respect wey you no get?
Everyone deserves to be respected, Even kids gan sef.

A married couple once came to iron out their differences in our home sometimes back. My mom decided to settle their dispute after the man complained his wife was about sending him to his grave with her attitude. We all knew the man to be over gentle. They sat outside to talk. Not less than five mins later, the lady had started raising her voice. It got to a time that she started shouting "shut up! Keep shut! I will beat you". I could hear them from our parlour. The next time I heard was GBOOAA. It was as if a couple of bricks fell in our compound. Alas, it was the woman that slapped her husband. The man even fell from his seat.

And this are the kind of people looking for respect up and down. I even wished the man had given her a thunderous deafening aka nti (slap) but he didn't. Such disrespect! That's why when men see women shouting for gender equality, they will be like ' STFU' because some men know what their wives and gfs can do.

The men are not free oo. Some disrespect their wives and other women around them and still be daydreaming about earning respect like one kabiyesi. If I start to type stories, my hand go break. Imagine one, beating his wife and his wife's sister like kindergarten kids at the slightest mistake. I can't respect such individuals. Some men melt out unfair treatment to females cos they are 'WOMEN' and what can they do?

Bottom line, Everyone wants respect but how many of them have the respect they want from others?!
If you want so much respect, have so much respect. Don't be fantasizing about one man that will be kneeling down for you when you don't give him respect, don't be fantasizing about a woman that will be kissing your feet if you don't have respect.

AfonjasMustDie:


No, not because you're a famale

It's because you're dumb as Buhari

Estharfabian:
So, we're talking Anatomy.
I have Boobs, You don't.
I've got Vagina, You don't.
High levels of oestrogen, you don't sweetie.
Progesterone...
A Uterus. You don't.
great Ass, You don't.
So, Let's see. I have all these things That you don't. Isn't it fair enough to say we ain't even equal? that I am in fact way Superior than you'd ever be. that I own you.
Like seriously, dude, I Own you..

What is this one saying? You don't even know me or seen me before and you are concluding you've got great ass and I don't, for the record you might be going about with a clapperboard derrière, I know you've got big boobs which you still probably flaunt to attract who? Still the same men, but hey girl I've got breast too I just don't have to flaunt it to attract anyone.

Your taking pride in Vagina, that's like the easiest thing to buy/rent in this world despite the recession Womanliness is still cheap as fvck.

I don't even want to argue with you too much on this cos you've probably not even be with a man before, but saying you own me shows how much of a control freak and despotic creature your specie is, I bet even if you are given the so call same rights you will always strive for more.



...You made sense a little here.

I don't need you to acknowledge whether I did or not, the part you cancelled is actually the biggest sense I made there, stop fighting a lost battle, ever heard of predestination? That's how men came to be superior

Well, You've not seen all the women in the world, have you?

I never said all women, so what are you even asking me? This girl sef

look, No one is disputing the fact that People want a family. which comprises, the woman, the man, the children. so, I don't really see Your point here.

Exactly! Both of them lead. they're their own Boss.
they compliment each other!

There is heirachy in leadership, Boss get level, we all know there wouldn't have been the word queen if there is no King.

Lol.

well, whatever makes You sleep at night birdie.
Women are no lesser beings than You BOYS. That's what the Fight's about. what's good for the goose should also be too for the gander.

HarveySpecter1:


Harvey Specter is just like me though we are in different professional fields. Lol.

The only difference is that Jessica Pearson loves his bullshit but my own boss doesn't but he can't do without me, at least now.

Btw, replace arrogant with confident.

If it's true, it's isn't boasting - Harvey Specter.

Which one are you? Louis Litt or Mike Ross?

Toks2008:


You see why ladies like you will forever be dumb.

Any lady who allows a man to screw her just once and latter leaves the man to say she used and dumped him should just start mourning the death of her dignity.

Only a lady with a LovePeddler mindset will say she used and dumped a man so for you to write this confirms my ascertion...you are either a LovePeddler or has the potential to be one...GOD have mercy on you.

bukatyne:


@Hmmm....

Interesting!

Don't you think if you post reflecting your 'real' self, some people might learn from them.

AngelsAndStars:
actually I think it does. people just go online to say stupid things. young guys can see these things and feel they are true.

this gender bullsh\t is not getting past me. anytime I see an argument of such I attack.

thanks anyway

naijaboiy:

Oh baby! I'm sorry you think it's hogwash but I cannot be held responsible for your inability to see it as it is.

I can't believe you think your argument actually held water. I was only using your logic to give it back to you.

And how did I tag those people as lesser beings hunnay? It's the same way you think low of paedophiles and rapists et all, that's how we guys think low of prostitutes and baby mamas.[b] And even if you wanted to be superior you can't be generally superior to men, maybe to your gateman and gardener at home.

You really played yourself. [/b]

Clap for yourself. You are making a real change arguing with anonymous people online compared to those who are on ground fighting for actual rights. Smh

naijaboiy:

Lool...I've been around o, but with an alternate. The mods dealt my moniker a two weeks break which began 22nd last month. I just got released last night.

Good to have you around. Keep giving us wahala you hear.

Oh, these yeye mods.
You must've really struck a nerve. I trust you.


LoL. You know nah. there's no other reason I login to nairaland nah. looking for trouble is Good business.

rose54321:



Definitely not Louis, I feel for him though, Harvey is always so harsh on him. The guy to me is just too emotional, probably has some self esteem issues.
It's like whatever he does no matter the intentions always messes things up.

I love Harvey (first of he's intelligent; I love smart people. his work ethics, unorthodox ways of handling issues and most importantly his loyalty to people he cares about), It's good to be good and know you are good but there's also the pride or arrogance and self centered-ness

There's always a very slim line between over confidence and pride.

As a lady I'll rather be Jessica, she's a badass. One important attribute is knowing when to draw the line between sentiments and business. She does it so effortlessly.

It's a wonderful show, best after GOT. Currently on season 5.

I AM A WOMAN!!! -

So what?

elitejosef:
I get into an argument with a man, he slaps me, I feel the pain, yet they tell me I provoked him. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him.

I get into an argument with a man, I slap him, they tell me I have no respect, no home training. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him.

elitejosef:
Because I am a woman, I don't have a right to be angry. So, the degree of my innocence is directly proportional to the degree of my silence in the face of oppression and brutality.....

elitejosef:
Because I am a woman, my husband cheats on me, I am told to tolerate it to save my marriage. The barbaric and stupid excuse is that ''it is in their nature to cheat, I should slim down, dress better, cook better, pray harder and be more pleasant to him"

I cheat, and I am called a LovePeddler, I have committed an abomination, I have no right to look elsewhere for the love and emotional support I lack at home, I am an irresponsible mother.
So I am sent packing, from the home we both built, with all my earthly possessions stuffed into a tiny box on my head. I am henceforth forbidden from seeing my two older children, I'm lucky to be allowed to go with my little one still suckling on my left breast. Three years later, the little one is tagged a bastard. Now, my new name is "after-three", because I am a woman.

elitejosef:
He is 28 and runs a company. He's tagged wonderful, hardworking, focused, career oriented, successful at a very young age

I am 28 and I run a company " Hmmmm, she is not even married, unserious, can not order her priorities right, a hustler, loves money, let her go and get a husband oh"
And I wonder if being successful has anything to do with a person's gender.

elitejosef:
Because I am a woman,
I am not allowed to have wits or be a prodigy, I cannot be financially buoyant, professionally successful or be treated with respect without a man beside me.

Then I am tagged a generous leg opener, "a runs girl". They never see the possibility that I actually had to go through ups and downs to get to where I am.
Because I am a woman.

elitejosef:
A man looses his wife to death and remarries a year after, he did the right thing, he's being praised and congratulated for moving on, afterall life is for the living.

A woman looses her husband to death and remarries after 4yrs, "ahhh! so early? Are u sure she wasn't sleeping with that man even when her husband was alive? That was why she killed her husband. She's a witch! " Because she's a woman.

elitejosef:
Because I am a woman, this post will be considered controversial, and everyone will try to correct me.
But don't forget, that I am a woman and it does not make me less human!!! Happy new year.

Pastors preach everyday but does that stop fornication and adultery?

Sometimes it's better we say it as it is...

BTW I also have threads that centered on how to live a decent life but haters will be haters...people will see what they want to see...the bottom line is that reality is better than fiction and I will rather be a realist rather than be an optimist or persimist..

MarieSucre:


So she's painting it like majority of men of view women like this??

So its not a majority of men that view women like this? Hmmmnnnn

You're right that women have it better. But did they just magically have it better?? Some people had to fight to for these rights that make the plight of women of this century "better".


Instead of trying to shut her up, why not join the fight? Afterall you agree that some "minority of men" are like this. You would do a lot of good talking to them man-to-man.

And the women under Taliban are being oppressed by men. This is not a fight between feminist and Taliban men but between Men and Men.

Pls I urge you to stand up to the Taliban. They are MEN like you, they would understand your language better than some physically weak, financially dependant, INFERIOR women. Thanks.

HarveySpecter1:


Wow. I never thought I would see a girl spew this in this era. What has your a$$, booty,vaglna and your menses got to do with the development of the world. You see why most girls who think like you are regarded as "cum basket".

For those who say there are limits to what a woman can achieve, you have it here. How can this one achieve anything when she would rather use her "perishables" than use her brain.

Let me come down to your level, a dlck beats all that .

Xensity:


No, the fact that many share my opinion, gives a kernel of truth to it and validates my points. I don't have to be a woman to understand the reality of what women pass through, and the op painted a dishonest picture of this reality.

It's this victim complex you women have that actually annoys me, and you have just erected this complex in your post. What successful women are being called who.res? Is Chimamanda adichie being called a who.re? Is Ngozi okonjo Iweala being called a who.re? Was the late Dora Akunyili called a wh.ore before she died? How about Deola Sagoe and Folake Cooker? I don't see anyone calling them who.res
It's only irresponsibe women who exhibit who.re-like characteristics that are being called whores. The women who gain their wealth from hard work and the overt addition of value to society, can never be called whores.

Another aspect of conversations with feminist apologists like yourself, is that you bring up really trivial and non-sequitor issues, and then you fixate on them like they are the most consequential issues there are, and like they have anything to do with gender inequality or subjugation and marginalisation of women.
So because people tell Linda Ikeji and Genevieve to get married, that's a form of female oppression in Nigeria? Lol. Don't men also get told to get married? And why shouldn't they be told to get married? Isn't it for their own good? Or is it when they are above 50 that they would get married, since they have made it open that they want husbands? And you are making it seem like it's only NL males that admonish them to get married, NL females also say the same thing. Go to LIB and see the number of women daily who tell Linda to hurry up and get married.

Marsnizz:
@ obbason22 is right because no sane man ll waste his precious time,money and energy on such a woman who is trying so hard to fight for gender equality. My sisi be wise, don't be deceive even the so called western world and the world super power only shout-scream about gender equality but you see my beloved sister,it's not in their hearts to do so.Hillary Clinton suppose to be the president of America. Note, the power of a woman shouldn't be underestimated.

what exactly have women collected from you, so women requesting to be treated as humans or women wanting that gender equity be upheld is taking everything from you

Admin401:


Wrong. Contradictions everywhere
you just said you didn't need any of those modern tech and that you will be happier without in
but in that same post you unironically wished for some sort of Time-Machine (that doesnt even exist yet) to go and leave with your forefathers.
No matter how comfy you think life was then, they always "Needed" something new.
i wont be surprise when you go hunting with them and they give you just a pebble, you will wish to the stars that you had a knife.
