Is It Compulsory For A Man To Provide For His Family? by harakiri(m): 11:40pm On Jan 03, 2010
This thread is in response to a thread started by a feminist.She is against women washing their husbands clothes and she seems to be having a lot of supporters on there.Therefore, since the world wants to bring down the very foundations of a lasting relationship, i hereby ask this question :

Is it compulsory for a man to provide for his family?

All replies (both positive and negative are welcome).

Yes! Even if the wife brings home a wage.

This question is so-so ridiculous and unheard of. If the man doesn't provide for his family, who should then? undecided undecided

@post
any fool can get married in this day and age BUT it is damn compulsory for a person to be responsible before he/she gets married.

if one fool gets married knowing fully well that he aint go the money(or balls) to raise/take care of his family then he will have only himself to blame(just like the guy who wants to get married and taking care of 3siblings with N40000)

it is compulsory for a couple to provide for each others needs and their offspring.

Absolutely. Why take on more than you can handle?
Financial accountability is a must for marriage.

You know all this NL feminist ladies will accept that only men should have compulsory roles, but they would never accept that women should have compulsory roles.

LMAO All those wondering, this is a thread in response to https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-374266.0.html (titled Is it compulsory to wash your husband's clothes) and I guess the question is rhetorical, and intended to display the absurdity of the other thread.

@OP: grin grin My guy, I had been guessing but now I think I know you in reality. You can't exkape my undeniable logic, can you? wink
Re: Is It Compulsory For A Man To Provide For His Family? by ima1(f): 3:52am On Jan 04, 2010

There is nothing complex about my post.I am AWARE that it sounds weird and awkward.I deliberately made it that way because of one silly thread where women and even some so called "21 century men" are in support that a woman can choose whether to do her house chores or not.And also she in "today's world", everything must be "shared equally" and you begin to wonder why so many marriages are crashing here and there.Two captains cannot be in one boat.It will capsize.Two generals cannot lead a battalion.There will be anarchy.There CANNOT be two bosses in a marriage.It will fail.This is the biased thread i'm talking about :

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-374266.0.html

I'm in no way against a man providing for his family. . .HELL. . .i am not married yet and i still make sure my woman doesn't lack anything.It's the double standards and hypocrisy i see on here that gets to me.They want to eat their cake and have it and i'm not HAVING it.

Re: Is It Compulsory For A Man To Provide For His Family? by Sissy3(f): 5:17am On Jan 04, 2010
how you can compare the need for a man to provide for his family with whether its necessary for a woman to wash his husbands clothes?

havent you heard of men who washed their own dirty clothes and still provided for the family?
Re: Is It Compulsory For A Man To Provide For His Family? by H2O2: 5:21am On Jan 04, 2010
To be fair, if a man is solely responsible for providing financial stability in his marriage, the wife should be ready to do the more menial tasks around the house. Male traditional role begets female traditional role.

what of situations where the woman and man equally contributes to the financial stability of the family, should the woman still be required to wash her husband's clothes or should everyone wash theirs?

Then both should mutually understand and agree to work together on home upkeep.
And I wouldn't use the word "required". Both the man and woman should be considerate. Wife should not feel inferior because she washes her husband's clothes. Husband should not feel belittled if he has to pick up the kids from school.
I will remain under the impression that there are some responsibilities better suited for women, just as there are others more suited for men.
