When I see people say Nigerian feminists are bitter and blablabla and are not like western feminists, I'm slightly amused and largely annoyed.

In a bid to bash the movement, these idiots don't reason.

Western feminists have achieved a level of equality that Nigerian feminists can only dream of. We are currently in the level they were 50 or 75 years ago.

UK/American feminists are not bothered about female genital mutilation. Or child bride. They are not fighting the mentality that you need marriage to be complete as a woman. They are not fighting for landlords to rent out to single ladies. Nobody is slapping their asses in their markets.

The things on our priority list, they have conquered. Yes, they still have issues they're dealing with like pay gap and pink tax. But our struggles and our reality are not the same at the moment.

It's like when a rich man is complaining that he has only 50 million and you're looking at your 5k account.

That is why they can afford to not be bitter or angry.

You as a Nigerian/African feminist, you can't.

Before you say bitterness won't help anyone, well it helped the western feminists get to where the are now!

The suffragettes of fore protested, burnt bras and burnt buildings so they can be allowed to vote or work!! They were bitter, angry, even violent.
The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and these women knew that.

How many of you have been beaten by a Nigerian feminist? How many times have you seen them protest on the streets or burn anything.

Yet you label them bitter. Why? Because they called you an idiot (which you are, by the way) on Facebook and Twitter.

These western feminists whom you love to compare us to do not have the same societal issues we do. They've been there, done that.

They're handling less weighty issues while we're still stuck on these painful matters.

You don't expect Saudi feminists to be as joyful as UK feminists. They are fighting for the freedom to travel without a man's permission. They are fighting for the freedom to be able to work. They are fighting for the freedom to live alone. They are fighting for the freedom to not be married off at 6 to a 70 year old man.

And you expect them to be convivial like their western counterparts?

It's like comparing a struggling entrepreneur in Nigeria to an entrepreneur in America and saying "Nigerian entrepreneurs are so lazy. Why can't they emulate American entrepreneurs and blow in one year or so?"

Do American entrepreneurs have NEPA, do they have to spend their capital on generator and fuel, do robbers waylay their goods at Ore? Do they have to settle tax force, union, omata, etc?

Nigerian feminists have since owned the bitter tag. We are bitter. It's the least we can do. We can't afford to burn your buildings like the western feminists you keep comparing us to.

And oh, I've found a good comeback. When they say Nigerian feminists are bitter and ruined feminism, I tell them Nigeria men are lazy and ruined entrepreneurship/medicine/law. I mean look at American entrepreneurs/doctors/lawyers. Why can't our men be more like them?

Are you explaining? Oh e pain you?
Very what?
Very good.

Don't mind her. I want to know what rights she doesn't have and how she at disadvantage. It's not uncommon for feminists to play the victim. She is even comparing her situation to that of suffragettes, how laughable. Does she know the misogyny and inequality suffragettes had to suffer? What is she suffering? What right does she not have?

She thinks someone tapping her ass in the market means that she is not liberated. How frequently does that even happen? How about girls that grab the penis of men during flirting? Shall we say men are not liberated? Bad behaviours are bad behaviours. Even in the liberated USA, sexual assault on both genders is still a thing.

JONNYSPUTE:
,,Seems she just copy and pasted the post without reading to know if it makes any sense.Nonsense.

lilmax:
How can you be hypocritical and still be a feminist?

This is the problem with Nigerian women, they're not feminist in every way
