You said british abi? Make Naija women no listen to this trash o, The hardboiled prophetesses of feminism like chimamanda and Linda Ikeji are quietly settling down with men after confusing the naive ones that they are equal with men.
so settling down with a man means you can’t be a feminist ? Where do you people get these ridiculous ideas ? Pls go and read a book or something - ignorance is a terrible thing !

You guys should stop using age to threaten yourselves.You are not threatening the lady because she is not even a Nigerian and did not announce that she needs a husband so no need to have sleepless nights over that.

Did you read where I said it's her view? Anyway it's her life not mine. Whatever rocks her boat but am just giving my advice to guys out there whether in Africa or overseas to ignore these kind of ladies likewise ladies as well. Am sure you know the likes of Chimamanda, Hillary clinton and Linda ikeji have a man in their life they are 100% submissive to.

A British writer and Twitter user @moniquemonrowe has publicly rejected the notion that a man is the head of the house, an idea she said is deeply rooted in religion and specifically the Bible.

According to this lady, the idea that the man is the head of the house is rooted in biblical times when women were not considered equal to men and as such, it is incompatible with the 21st century.

According to the writer, she cannot accept a concept written at ‘a time period when women did not have equal consideration or power’. @moniquemonrowe also said that this does not reconcile with today’s reality or the modern woman or family.

Ish
A family needs to be run by the woman. The man just needs to give her all the tools she needs to function well, plenty money and good loving. You cannot be winning the bread on the streets and still be heading the house physically, it'll leak ur energy.

I am sure you are in their marriages to know whether or not they are submissive to their husbands since to you it is not a mutual thing.Not every man sees that as a requirement and to some it is mutuality and egalitarianism.
Lastly,Every couple has what works for them and everyone has a right to choose whether or not to go with the status quo so leave the guys to choose for themselves.

I suppose this is one of the verses which the girl is referring to in the Bible.

1 Corinthians 11:3 King James Version (KJV)
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God."

Unfortunately it is not an idea - it is the word of God, which no 21st (or 22nd, 23rd, ...) century man or woman can change.

God and Nature made it so.
Humans no longer have to fight predators, so raw strength is mostly irrelevant for leadership these days,
that is why huge built men are saying "yes sir" to Tinubu in Lagos.


Whose name does the children bear? Their mother's or father's?
These are traditions, they prove nothing.

Who is primarily responsible for leadership?
That is the accidental legacy of the stone age, we are now in the 21st century.

Who's considered to be primary provider?
If through unexpected circumstance, your wive became the primary provider for some time,
would you abdicate your leadership position?
Would you switch roles with her and start to do the cooking, chores and all the rest?
If your answer to the two questions above is no, then being a primary provider does not make one gender
superior to the other.

Have you heard of any special recognition given to husbands of public figures worldwide like is obtained in wives of figures?
Again, this is the result of the stone age legacy, there is no intrinsic reason why an husband shouldn't
be recognised. I am sure you have heard of Tbillz?
Even the unknown fiancee of Linda Ikeji will eventually become a celebrity courtesy of his wife.


See bro, there are certain things you can't contend with nor change. No matter how much a feminist will rant the man will remain HEAD of the family
The only constant thing in life is change, anything can be changed to some extent, it just requires strong will and a smart campaign.
All families are not equal, there are very few 100% patriarchal family in reality, even husbands that get bullied at home will also
claim that he is the man of the house in public.

It's a free world but there's no need claiming to be a Christian when you don't want to abide by the tenets of the Christian faith. Saying that a lot of biblical concepts do not reconcile with today's reality and that you have to use interpretations to work out which ones you will deem appropriate is just creating your own fantasy. You don't pick and choose which part of God's word you obey according to your own whims and caprices. No one is forcing you to be a Christian or live by the Bible tenets. But when you chose to be a Christian and abide by the Bible, then you must know that you have to be completely obedient to God's instructions in the Bible. A half obedient Christian is just wasting his or her time. Choose ye this day whom you will serve, you can't serve God and Mammon at the same time!

You said it all. Half obedience is the same as rebellion. The Bible tenets stand valid throughout all ages and times.

There are women who can buy you if you are for sale, does it mean you are inferior to them?

Dude re you for real... You should be able to understand that the statement was made in reference to the topic(what the lady wrote) and is money all that a man can offer? That a man is the head of a house doesn't make his wife inferior to him... It's a position of leadership, for direction just as you re not inferior to your boss at the office

Going by this thread, majority of the men believe that they are superior because they are the provider.
It is therefore logical that an husband who can't provide for whatever reason should become the woman of the house.
Don't you agree?

The Idea of a person being inferior is something I ve not been able to process, being head is for leadership n direction not for power n that's probably where you get me wrong

And none of you can change it. Even 1000 years from now.

Ephesians 5 (King James Version)
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
