the way you call data from thin air lol. Most boys that were abused were abused by males and you know this how ? Are you okay ? I am such victim and they are 90% females multiple and every other male friend I know who was abused was abused by a female, Y'all are sick with this nonsense agenda.

That's how you know a feminist. grin

Once they start saying things like;

One in 3 women are oppressed daily.
Two in 10 women are raped yearly.
2 in twenty women has been slapped today.

Just abort mission, for it is them, the feminists. grin

They can't ever be reasoned with. Just save yourself the stress because everyone but them is the problem. Always.

I think discussion on the boy child should be opened and treated as important.

The average boy gets little or no training
Sense of responsibility is very low
Morality is very very low
Boys are put on the streets as if they are not children
Some die,other toughen,some excel,some turn criminal
These boys grow up to be men and are expected to lead (more men are in leadership)
They are to lead families ,become husbands and fathers
When the head is incorrect the whole body suffers
Finally the society bears the blunt
The circle continues


Here is a woman that understand the whole drift

The society is being affected with the upbringing of men that doesn't know there left from there right

When men are raised right
The society greatly benefits from it

And we need to Target them when they are still young

You males keep perpetuating the notion that females are inferior and weak and incapable of doing what men can do.
Now that partriarchial bullshit is making men bear unfair burden because they turned themselves to superior demigods they will still come out to blame women for their suffering.

Nope... Presently, there are more educated boys than girls in Nigeria.. The law might say otherwise, but most Nigerian parents still believe a girl shouldn't be educated in the university... Statistics proves your wrong... I don't care whether your sisters alone were educated... The general population, boys are more in schools.
Try to read to understand next time... I agree that young boys aren't paid any attention... But it's stupid that you men here are trying to compare what young boys and young girls go through... Why did the men who commented try to make it seem like feminism is a personal attack on boys? Did you preach to them? Young girls all over the world are more likely to be victims than young boys... I'm not trying to shift the focus to women but to educate the imbeciles here that it's perfectly understandable why the world tends to pay utmost attention to women and to let the know that the worse enemy of boys is the system created by men...so they should put the blame where it belongs- with themselves.
And I respect his opinions! They are perfect... And unlike the men here, he didn't try to compare what men go through and what women go through... He was unbiased.
I'm a woman, so you assume I must have kids... I won't... secondly, are you mentally slow? Did I once comment that boys aren't victims of assault? I'm making a point that it's men who made themselves into living gods that can't be hurt... That why no one (men and women) pay attention to these boys who are victims... Men say they are masculine and strong and the superior sex... So young boys can't even come out to tell the world their awful stories... If a man is raped, it's his fellow men who would encourage him to kill the case because it's unmanly to be the victim of sexual abuse... So don't blame women, blame the system men created... They thought it would favour them, but it only boomeranged...

I speak from the grey line...

These are my points...:

Boys can be victims...

Boys are mostly victims of men...

Boys can't complain that they are victims because they fear that they would disappoint the menfolk...

No one takes topics like this seriously because of patriarchy which clearly centers on the principle that men are superior and beneath the position of being victims...

Men created patriarchy...

Patriarchy back fired...

If you want to promote the rights of boys, don't attack feminism that focuses bon female victims... But focus on boys and dismantling this system that's patriarchy...

They we can truly have a conversation...

It's funny cos you guys are having a conversation already! Assuming without conceding that the patriarchy is such a bad construct, can you answer a quick question:

Can you factually say that no woman ever played a role in building the patriarchy; or that all men are complicit in enabling it? Every man was born by a woman, most men are raised by their mothers. In this imperfect world that we are all born into, both men and women have been victims of malevolent, murderous and wicked people. I will admit men have played a greater role in such ills, but the flip side, in most cases, both the villains and heroes in history are men - so it is strong good men that protect the world against strong evil men.

Children are generally weak and vulnerable in the society. It would be more beneficial for grown ups to focus on protecting the young without drawing indelible tribal lines between boys and girls.

Many women did! And most men aren't complicit... Yet many still encourage it and that's the difference... Men are the ones who refuse to let go of this toxic system... To suit their egos... Most women are fighting it...'feminism'...

Perfect point... I only argued because most men here are comparing the woes of a girl child to that of a boy child... It's annoying... Imagine saying that girls in their states are educated so therefore there's still no need to campaign for the right of a girl to go to school... undecided

They could comment their solidarity with young boys without hating on young girls and the women protecting them... It's just petty and it shows that most men here don't even care for these kids... It's all a gender war... So I educated them...

It's sad you can't comprehend that it's men who made women burdens...

Years ago, men said women are weak... So women shouldn't work... So women shouldn't earn... So women should stay home... So women should expect to be taken care off...

Feminism is trying to encourage women to actually be independent...

Can you see how stupid men were then?

So because you think women are dependent, you're not in support of young African girls being educated? undecided

Two third of the 750 million illiterates worldwide are women... Do you care?
This your argument of girls denied education is lopsided. The recent waec written,girls have the larger share compared to boys.you don't give a girl admission because she a girl it is earned not given.
Two third of the 750 million illiterate (suspicious and doubtful it is) being women is because they chose to. You don't visit the atrocities of some people on others. life itself is a competition we won't buy the exploitative nature of women being weaker vessel.

In a bid to solve his problem without recourse to his creation, man creates more problem for himself. God created them male and female, in his own image. People should be respected because in them we see the image of God who created us all, not because they are male or because they are female.

What is happening in Nigeria is very dangerous and will have a disastrous effect in the future,the new system that Nigerians have embraced propping and elevating girls at the expense of boys,its already yielded bad fruits with the weak performance of boys in academics, soon the full realisation of what this stupid generation of older men have done will materialise,they are gradually and systematically destroying boys just to elevate women,the women are enjoying and cashing in on it,Nigeria and the black race will forever remain at the bottom if we continue that system,it's a system created by whites,having already established themselves as the top race,they are now weaking men of other races especially now of the black race and stupid blacks are buying into it,the neglect of boys through almajiri system is what has brought the disaster happening to the north,it will happen to the south in another form in the future, with the gradual systemic neglect of southern boys.No society can develop with neglected boys,that system the the UN and Western nations preach which Africans are buying into now at an all time high rate will eventually lead to the gradual destruction of the black race.Blackmen need to wake up,we should stop shooting ourselves in the foot,we have done that for generations now is the time to take our destiny into our hands,The foolish old men just like during the time of slavery are once again systematically and gradually destroying their own race

Do you even know the core of patriarchy? And how it affects men presently?

Because you missed the point...

Men said that they are mules... They said so because they believed themselves to be more stronger and resilient and intelligent... They said women are weak and irresponsible and emotional... They said only men should be allowed to be educated and only men should work... They said women should strive only to be housewives and mothers... They said a man's primary duty is to hustle and earn and provide for his family...

All these...years ago. But it's affecting men today...

The reason it seems no one cares for men...

How can the world care for the superior sex?

How can the world care for those who brag that it's a "man's world"?

How can the world care for the strong, independent men?

How can the world care for men who believe themselves to be gods?

It's all stupid... But men said women were weak... Women were treated harshly for being weak and taken advantage of... Now, the world finds it hard to believe that men are also victims!

It's not our fault, it's yours...

I dare you to tell your friends that a younger woman raped you... The men in the group would laugh... Even ask if it was fun...

I see alot of young men joke how they want to be raped and i feel so disappointed... Because when it happens, who would take them seriously? It's all fun and games, right?

There's nothing like patriarchy,those are fairy tales created by Western system to antagonise men,many bad things done to women in the past were crimes of nature,men also suffered,women also suffered men in the past.

Sir, do you know what scares me the most? It's the fact that a country like Nigeria is emphasizing Education for girls alone. But imagine a society with educated women and the men, most of the men are thugs, terrorists, illiterates, agberos and all sorts of criminals including those that have become delinquent due to the society's stance against them; how would the females cope?


Can the females be safe if majority of the males are wild, uncared for and unemployed? Isn't our society setting itself up?

It's not about victimisation,you just desire for men to accept to be victims, men are not accepting any victimisation, what is at stake here is that the disaster this new system will create will cause total devastation,even women will be worse off for it,an empowerment man is better than a vile loser man,this is the point.not whether men are victims or not

Lol, this argument have been made over and over, but no one seems to be listening

I for one have decided to just go with the flow. These women that we all concentrate on now grow up and end up marrying the boys we neglected who are now men

If you doubt me, check out the wives of chief thugs in the garages, most of them are educated, pretty ladies. Same way a lot of women end up with guys who beat them up or just irresponsibly stupid cos they weren't taught how to be responsible, no one cares about them while.growing up.

You'll see an educated woman end up with a man who doesn't live up to his responsibility, not because he can't, but because he chooses not to... Yet, they'll up popping babies every two years like new varieties of Kellogg's cocopops

No one apart from your parents or guardian owes you anything.
I bet you didn't even tell your parents but expect "society" to read your mind
and jump to your defense against the culprit.

And if you are like most posters here, you will only bring up the issue to counter
other people's narratives.


I think you didn't get the picture well. As a child, you don't just walk up to anyone to say you've been molested. People especially girls and women come out now to say it because they are encouraged to report such wickedness and the society is frowning at it. But no such awareness is even created to liberate the boy child. A research shows that one out of six boys had been sexually abused before age 16. The research even claimed that it likely underestimated the number due to audience received. Ask guys around you and get stories. Nobody asked them, not their families nor the society.

Today, It is certain that girls won't talk too if they are aren't encouraged to do so. Molestation of girl child has always been from time past. But today they have a voice supported by both men and women. The same should go for their brothers too.

The point is every weak irrespective of gender, needs a voice to speak for it, a voice to encourage it to report evil against it, eyes that wouldn't turn the blind side, ears that wouldn't turn the deaf side and mind that wouldn't be insensitive to their unheard and unsaid plights.
