BananaBender:This is why the goal of Nigerian feminism frustrates me. While we are busy, praying hoping and working to see if we can live in a truly equitable society, this confused bunch are busy launching programs upon programs that are anti-family. How can you dictate how another person should run his/her own family? 2 Likes |

bukatyne:1. A social unit of people that is structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals. All organizations have a management structure that determines relationships between the different activities and the members, and subdivides and assigns roles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out different tasks. Organizations are open systems--they affect and are affected by their environment. m.businessdictionary.com/definition/organization.html OR: An organisation is an entity, such as an institution or an association, that has a collective goal and is linked to an external environment. The word is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon which means "organ". en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organization 2. Please confirm that your marriage isn't in any way like the above definitions. ![]() ![]() |

freshdude2: 1. I thought we were referring to organization as per company? Just like submission in Christian marriage is 'different' from dictionary definition, same with organization as per company 2. Let's say it's like 2 ![]() |
Re: Gender Stereotypes Part II by Nobody: 1:52pm On Nov 06, 2014 |
bukatyne:1. Well, a company is an organisation, an organisation is not always a company. That's the angle I was looking at it from. Also, submission in th bible and dictionary have the same meaning. Any complication arises strictly as a result of practice. What I mean is submission in marriage would be differently practised from submission in the workplace or in regard to public authority(read law enforcement). 2 ![]() |

Mondisweets:First, you must understand that in every rule there is an exception, and marriage is an exception in this regard. Some men are successul in managing and leading their family/marriage but aren't successful in leading their society and organisation. It is the introduction of corporate mindset, too much academic wisdom, corporate laws, constitutions and corporate modes of operation into modern marriages that is ruining 21st century marriages. Please let the Holy Bible guide you if you want a happy family. @carefreewannabe, I am not arguing your points; I also observe that you are an intelligent lady, but pls don't let your academic intelligence and modern knowledge affect your marital decisions. Sometimes in life, we need to play fool for things to work for us and for us to be happy. Being smart or playing too wise and knowledgeable in everything in life sometimes lead us to harm and loss. Wear humility like a garment and you will enjoy life. |

For me the question is not whether men make better leaders than women ... It is more of the fact that men are wired to be leaders. It has nothing to do whether they end up been better leaders. Nature has made men over the years the more dominant human specie ... We are more assertive and have a way of enforcing our political will unlike women. The male specie is Territorial this trait can be seen even in animals. To become a leader most times is not really defined by how smart you are, or the leadership skills you posses but how bold, daring, risk taking and brave you are. How willing you are to take on responsibilities and to rise up to the challenge. Something that comes naturally to men than women. We are wired to be fighters, and our basic instinct is to be in control. If it were by smartness or leadership skills we would not have agberos as senators and really smart people as lecturers. Seldom is leadership given to any one on a platter of gold. It is fought for, worked for, it is earned. To seat at the table of men you have to go through the journey of a man. Ask the women who are leaders how they got there. Now to answer your question directly ... What makes a good leader is highly subjective up till today. Yes a couple of research like the one Op quoted have sprouted out touting women to be better leaders and the popular belief is that the reason for this trend is the recent trend towards transformational leadership and its emphasis on empowerment, collaboration and emotional intelligence – traits traditionally associated with women – Moreover the stumbling block here is that males can also develop these traits if they want to ... It does not exclusively belong to women. The fact is that while the research is saying something else the reality on ground is completely different. To be a leader you don't just merit it your must fight for it. You must earn it, you must work for it... Something the average man is willing and wired to do. If you are a woman and you do same you will can get to top as well. But in my opinion, I think both make better leaders than the other depending on the scenario. For example, it has been discovered in traditionally male dominated, masculine organizations like governments or the military, male leaders were more effective , while women triumphed in more ‘feminine’ environments that thrived more emotional intelligence like social services and education, marketing ... In reagards to the family, the man been the head of the house ... is something that women can't take away from men ... It's like how women are wired to be nurturers and less assertive, men are also wired to be providers, very assertive and in turn always desire to be in control. Moreover their sometimes occur a naturally anomaly where you have a very assertive and love to be in control woman a trait very common in most feminist. In this scenario it is advisable you look for a very submissive man to compliment you because by default the average man is wired to defend his territory and authority and he can go to any length to protect it. No amount of research can change the fact that they drive to lead is encoded in the DNA of the average man. It's just one of our basic animal survival instinct. #MathewBriggs 2 Likes 1 Share |
