Do You Think Women Can Really Have It All? And How? by Sagamite(m): 8:44am On Jan 28, 2011 |
Can women have it all or something has to give? Can they have the Family, Relationship, Youthful spinster fun, Career and Education? Or is it a failed Western theoretical conceptualization? If you think they can, how? What is the right strategy? At what stages in life is optimal and practical as there are natural challenges? Do you have it all? Or you have decided it is an illusion and picked they ones you cherished the most and sacrificed the other(s)? |

Do men have it all,Dayo,Oga space watchman,im asking u? @Topic,who determines and decide my definition of all? I have all i need and want,expecting more!.i have come to realize that what I, years back saw as/thought to be all were shadows that exist only in la la land.I have since slapped myself back to reality,adjusted my lens to accommodate more and eliminate some,sacrificed here n there to get the all I really need.IMO,anyone regardless of the sex sitting down to wait till he/she gets it all might end up getting none and losing all. |

Now the truth is out. Why do women prefer to marry people richer? Do they mean there cant be love to poorer people. The concept of gold digging still prevails among females |

Having it all depends on what you mean by all, person to person. Do i have it all? Based on my needs and wants, not yet. Just a thing or two not yet achieved. Did my mother have it all. Yes. She's a formidable woman. She was the richer one as my grandmother is but they both married men of strength, character and understanding, who in the end made themselves what they are today. |
Re: Do You Think Women Can Really Have It All? And How? by Sagamite(m): 7:55pm On Feb 01, 2011 |
iice: They both did not have to sacrifess anything? Their careers? Their advanced education? They did not have to do majority of the housework? Their beauty did not fade drastically in their 30s/40s from what it used to be because of responsibilities and [delayed age of] child birth? |
Re: Do You Think Women Can Really Have It All? And How? by iice(f): 5:01am On Feb 02, 2011 |
Sagamite: Nope. Well my grandmother didn't work as pa in her time, women stayed at home. My mother started working right from high school till she graduated uni. Even when she married my dad, he told her to stay home, she refused. Said she's not used to that and would get bored. So he let her. She retired but my mama still doesn't rest. She na business woman till now As for housework, she did majority of it. I used to think she was invincible because she rarely gets sick even as she seemed to do it all. And my mom at her age passes for early 30s. She takes care of herself, has always been a healthy eater. Only crow's feet around her eyes. . .probably has to do with genetics but she has like 8 younger siblings and she looks younger than all of them. As for childbearing, it wasn't delayed. |
Re: Do You Think Women Can Really Have It All? And How? by Sagamite(m): 11:31am On Feb 02, 2011 |
iice: She is a Superwoman then. If she has a good relationship with her man, got her qualifications soughted, worked when she wanted to, had kids on time and did not face health risks, still looked reasonably hot, and she raised good kids minus one (Note: I am talking of only your siblings as being good because I can vouch for them, but not you, though I will not judge her based on you, the reasons for you na different case. ) Well done by her. She is a minority it appears. Your grandmother had to sacrifice. |
Re: Do You Think Women Can Really Have It All? And How? by iice(f): 5:23pm On Feb 02, 2011 |

dayokanu: That should be the dumbest question ever Who wants to suffer eh? Did anybody come to this world to suffer But seriously, I find it laughable that a woman who doesn't want to marry a poor man is written off as a gold-digger! I bet the one who would rather be with a pauper is considered the ideal woman! @ Topic Can a woman really have it all? Omotala recently called herself a 'fulfilled woman' . . . and she's not wrong. Not many women at 32 have 4 kids and a lovely home, a very successful career and is still considered to be one of the hottest chic in town! So yea, a guess a woman can really have it all . . . . Personally, I've met a lot of accomplished women and that's precisely what I hope to become. |

Ujujoan: What happened to using your own brains and hands to work and eke out a living, If a woman is not brain dead and not lazy how would she suffer. How many white collar women can go to their village to marry a carpenter or mechanic. We were told that to avoid poverty work hard, Are you saying women lack the brains and the hand to work and earn a living for themselves? The culture of gold digging |
Re: Do You Think Women Can Really Have It All? And How? by Jenifa1: 8:29pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
some women are gold diggers because that's what men prefer!! as far as i'm concerned there are lots of single career women out there in their late 20s (it takes years and hard work to get educated and develop a career). most men just happen not to be interested in them and would rather prefer a young girl who obviously need to rely on a man to feed herself. and these young girls are not silly either. of course they prefer a rich man because otherwise, how are they going to survive. so it's all give and take. Yes women can have it all! How? if the men agree to co-operate. ex white males generally don't have problems with having a career wife because they believe in equality. so it works well for white families. for many black females on the other hand they usually have to choose one or the other because they usually can't have both. at least that's what I notice. and there aren't many marriages in the black community anyways. so career seem to be the better option for them I would think. because you can have a career and a single parent family. I think nigerian women in diaspora are also experiencing this at least going by the threads on nairaland (the phenomenon of getting educated, developing a career and then hitting your late 20s without finding a husband, or finding a guy who is a golddigger!! talk about role reversal) at least that is better than having nothing. no career and no husband. ie single mothers on welfare. lol |
Re: Do You Think Women Can Really Have It All? And How? by Nobody: 9:38pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Jenifa_:Well that is unlikely to be a winning strategy because people tend to marry within their class and within their social circle. How many professionals do you know that would want to marry a liability or a drop-out in this day and age. Okay maybe I get your misapprehension. You are referring to girls who fall for the lies the players tell them as gold diggers but that is not the case as in most cases these guys don't even have the gold to give out in the first place. These good-time girls are addicted to bad boys and can not be classed as gold diggers |
