Wawelexy:I mean mentioned.. Do what if Divorce rate is high? If people want a Divorce, who are you to deny them that? Just as you have a right to marry anyone you chose it follows that you should also have the right to divorce as you chose. As for your claim that everything was created for a purpose, are you suggesting that those who find themselves living in a gutter should accept that as the purpose for which they were created, or something? 3 Likes |

cooooooks: So what are you doing on this thread exactly? All your comments have been from what stance? What exactly are you arguing against? Or disagreeing with? If feminism is not a thing, feminists would not be as well. The term 'feminist' will simply be null and what you'll have is women who call themselves a word that means nothing. So why EXACTLY are you arguing with feminists or countering any body that is anti-feminist? If feminism means nothing to you, how exactly are you even conceptualizing anything? There should be nothing like a man-hating feminist to you. Just a man hater, so what's your grouse with the two terms 'feminism' and feminists?? You asked me who the arbiter of any ism is, it certainly cannot be you who knows what is right and truthful as well, so how can you tell feminists that their 'ism' isn't right? I'm still maintaining you have no basis to be coming for feminists and analyzing what they are doing or saying, even if you're judging by what they say/tell you. It is a contradictory rut. You claim feminism is not real (in your view!) ... and you're not anti-feminist... so I honestly don't get your purpose here. So what if a feminist tells you she's a women's rights advocate (and a redpiller tells you he's a men's rights advocate), what then? You're coming from a subjective stance to what to be speaking on what others do and practice. Did you suddenly disappear and became void when you were once a redpiller? For you to claim it's not a think now. Or when you used to follow their teachings? You're either a humanist or egalitarian(which will be contrary to your "no ism exist" belief), but since you said if, then okay. You're not a humanist or egalitarian. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Feminism is what you make of it. It’s only strong on paper and non existent in reality.It’s more of self acclaimed. Even at that, if I may ask, if feminism is a right,from whom are you demanding that from ?,is it from the government, or your employer,religious organizations (church/mosque) or family (marriage)?. The pastors or other people making comments about this are only doing that in the context of marriage and we all know the biblical stands on this…. Man and woman are not equal. Simple !!!. 1 Like |

cooooooks: U are totally entitled to your opinion of what u think aligns with logic or not....I try not argue on nairaland anymore becos I’ve noticed overtime people ignore context, and dialogues almost always become an insulting contest ...Nevertheless, you triggered me, so i’ll shoot a little... ..first, it’s possible for the view of a person a few persons to be different from the view of those championing a cause for a group whether the group was formed or naturally existing group like being female or male...it happens all the time ..in work place, political group, etc.. For example: many individual Transgender women (I.e men that they are women) don’t support the idea that they should allowed to participate in natural biological women sport.... Why ? There is a reason women sports were created in the first place... that’s because men are not equal...men are stronger and it wasn't considered fair for women and men to compete on the same level because women will almost always come short... But those championing the cause at national and international level have successfully pushed for trans women to compete. technically making trans women with men muscle, bone mass, to easily outwit real biological women... Similarly.... the fight of feminism at national level isn’t who should be the head of the family ..... who give a flying fvck about who tags himself or herself the head of a house...? Oh!.the Nairaland feminist care about those things.. Like the transgender example I gave...is the lady you are defending among those at pushing for equal mix of men and women in work places..claiming women are not fairly represented But ignoring the biological nature of women in the expense of men and the company?? Is she among those clamoring for automatic seats for women at company’s board level at the expense of competence irrespective of the gender The point is...the current feminism champions we have now are just disguising behind equality..it’s Only about power and an unhealthy competition with men.. because if they are all about equality and balanced ...they will also champion equal gender representation among plumbers, mechanic, soldiers, carpenters, auto insurance fee(which is by the way, cheaper for women than men in manat countries) post-child delivery leave..etc Like I said these power hungry ideologies have rippled down to homes/ marriages where where Husbands and wives are supposed to be a team.... but people now raise funny issues like: -why should I be the one to cook because I’m female... -why should I submit to my husband (I always ask, how do women even submit to their husband that makes it tantamount to violating their rights or humanity) -why should my child carry his father’s name and not the woman’s name... -why should a child automatically come from his father’s state and not the woman’s state.. -I don’t have to take up my husband’s name... Don’t get me wrong, husbands and wives can discuss whatever they want and the man can always take the woman’s name if he wishes...but why must it be a war of the sexes among people meant to be a team in marriage? |

AmazonTopaz: You have a fundamental problem of understanding. It's people like you that's the reason we have a lot of people with a distorted understanding of what feminism is. Your profile says its not about men vs women thing but your posts here says the exact same thing. And it's about to just kill, crucify, destroy men. Just shut up already. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: Feminism Political ideology OverviewHistoryFeminist booksFeminist authorsTypesVideos Main Results Description At its core, feminism is the belief in full social, economic, and political equality for women. Feminism largely arose in response to Western traditions that restricted the rights of women, but feminist thought has global manifestations and variations. This is an extended definition of it from the dictionary but why it’s advocates now making this a talking point in the context of marriage ?. Also , which societal practices do you want this right respected or accepted as I asked in my quoted post? 1 Like 1 Share |

CutieKing:The reason why advocates make it a talking point in the context of marriage is likely because it is in marriage that the disparity is more clearly exhibited. E.g. a Nigerian woman looses much of her freedoms when a in marriage - this is culture in much of Nigeria. As the definition you posted explains, full social, economic, and political equality for women. 3 Likes 1 Share |

There are many reasons for the attack, let me state the few that come to my mind first: 1. For men: They don't want to give up their position of power and privilege. 2. For ladies: They were raised/brainwashed to accept very low standards for themselves. 4 Likes |

I see your argument but I'm not perplexed about the argument itself. The issue is, who are you arguing with? Is there a committee of 'champions for feminism'? Or, like in your analogy, 'champions for trans rights'? Even if a group calls themselves this name, do all self acclaimed feminists or trans people know about, support or even care about this "committee of champions"? You've got to discuss with the person in front of you. If you argue with the nonexistent committee of champions, the person in front of you either has to defend people who are not them or, as is often the case, call you misinformed and say those committee of champions are not "real feminists" or "real trans people". You essentially will be arguing with yourself. Cheers and have fun. advanceDNA: |

When as a woman your father is a drunkard, your boyfriend is a tout, your uncle is a fraudster, your fiance is a leech that lives of you and your sons loiter the streets with nothing meaningful to do, you will easily be a feminist. Feminism is the pill you give to women surrounded by idiots who call themselves men but when you are surrounded by real men you will have zero incentive to be a feminist. A real man looks after his own. A real man provides support for his own. A real man is sober. A real man takes responsibility for his actions. A real man empowers everyone around him to best of his capacity. A real man provides leadership. A real man has a impressive following among his family and friends...a real man gets the submission of his wife effortlessly. A real man makes feminism unnecessary! We can thank the masculine idiots for the rise of feminism! |
