if women were any fragile i doubt majority who have given birth would have survived it. The pain endured is as intense as have 5 different bones being broken at the same time.

and the reason why we have many senseless wars all around the world too

we are talking about equality in things that are not restricted by nature.

I would teach my son how to cook and clean the house, the same way i would teach my female daughter how to change a flat tyre and use a lawn mower.

Thats what i believe is gender equality i should never make my male child feel he is too sexxy to cook or wash a plate! If he moves out of my house and has to leave on his own without a maid, who in the hell will do these things for him?
I will never give my female child the impression that she is too fragile to remove and replace a car tyre or cut grass. if she ever gets stranded in the middle of nowhere because she doesn't know how to change an ordinary tyre, who will help her?

Gender equality also means you teach your female and male child how to be independent too, so i don't see why some of you still make all of this noise about special privileges?

What is the common sense and what is feminism?

As a feminist yourself, which of these feminist campaigns are you actively a part of? - oops scratch that, how many of these were you even aware of before this thread?
FCKH8 Campaign, Hollaback!, #YesAllWomen, #FreeTheNipples, TakePart.com

And when I call people on here pseudo-feminists, y'all think I just enjoy using fancy words...

Logic gini?
All the dissertation is just for morale boost. Or the usual 'let me just say something' syndrome.

cKaiser:


If you put a man and a woman of equal age and diet together in a fistfight, who do you think would prevail?

why do you think a woman hitting a man is viewed as a lesser offence than the other way round?

you're probably a christian, The bible quoted below

"
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them wisely, giving honour unto the woman, as unto a more fragile vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers not be hindered."

Can you list the things in life that are not determined by nature

zeb04:
just move along crackhouse.

blah blah blah, but you forgot to add this "I WILL TEACH MY DAUGHTER HOW TO WOO BOYS"..... If you don't do this then you don't know anything about equality

dBard:
Two important points;
1) The opposite sexes can never be completely equal as there are specific gender limitations to each

2)There is Nothing Wrong with many of the gender roles that has been honoured throughout history.

Wat a lot of 'feminist' ,esp Nairalands bevy of feminist, do not realise is that a lot of guys do not mind having a Good, Strong woman by their side,one that can Stand f wat she believes but still respects n gives d husband his due.
Who doesn't/wouldn't want a Lagaertha as a wife

This so called feminism frankly is just misplaced ideals,I.m.o

i can definitely give her insight on how to show interest in a guy and how not to go overboard with it. i would also encourage her on taking him out on dates too and giving him gifts just to show him appreciation here and there

Mumu, will you teach her how to woo boys, you're speaking grammar. What the fvck is "not go overboard," that shiet is ambiguous. Will you teach your daughter how to toast a boy, yes or no?!

Mondisweets:
i hope insulting me has helped u feel better about your inadequate self. When u can't give a sensible answer you resort to insults. Like i said empty vessels ( the rusty tin type) make the most noise.

their physique and fighting technique will determine who may win. A fight can be stopped by one nasty kick in the groin

it has never been treated as less offensive so long it was not act of defence it is an offence (whether the attack was by a woman or by a man)

fragile vessel being something delicate like a glass. You can throw a stainless steel cup on the floor a million times and it wont break, but if u throw a glass on the floor once, it can break or completely shutter. That's how i understood that verse. Thats why it says, "giving honour"...care and protect them.

-Holding an office (is not determined by nature, its be one's capacity and qualifications.)
- personal hygiene.

carefreewannabe:


I doubt she will teach any of her children how to woo the opposite gender.

Did your mother teach you to woo girls?

lilmax:
i don't get it. Are you trying to say women are not equal with men on that level? what do you mean by overboard?

Mondisweets:
its means doing so with integrity .i.e. Asking a guy out without sounding desparate

freshdude2:
if she doesn't teach them, does she expect any of them to woo the opposite or, in these times, same gender? Surely, my mother expected me to woo women. Did/does your own mother expect you to woo men? Will you expect your daughters to woo men?

Nonso23:

This is a very befititing Abstract for the previous dissertation.
It is on an African forum because opinions are not territorial. Why is news on ISIS on Nairaland.

Did you see any man on this thread base their points on those premises?? Or are you manufacturing again??

African women pamper their husbands while they do nothing not so?
Please, go home this december and ask them elders how the names 'obiagelli' and 'oriaku' came about. Also ask them what 'ogbuagu', 'ogbuefi' et al signified. Then also ask them what a man who couldn't live up to expectations in both marriage and business was labelled, ask if there are equivalent names/labels for women. Ask them how decisions in the community were taken.
Ask them if women played an important role or not.
Then come back and tell me African (Igbo) men don't pamper or respect their women.

Any misbehaviour of an African man to the African woman is a reaction to balance the tilt their (women) deviance and overt readiness to adopt what they know little or nothing about created.

cKaiser:


I would like to see you put these to test. Take 10 female and 10 male of same age and put them to a fistfight without weapons

Why is it a mantra to "Never hit a woman" but we hardly hear "Never hit a man" rather its always "He deserves it"

Has anyone stopped a woman from holding any office, in Nigeria? I know a woman who contested for Governor and even Presidency.

Personal Hygiene, Its called PERSONAL, You have a right to do whatever you want to yourself

carefreewannabe:


My mother did not teach me to be het*ro*se*xual or hom*os*exual.
I just discovered my attraction for the opposite s*ex some day.

My mother didn't teach me how to woo boys, neither did she teach my brother how to woo girls.

cKaiser:


Too much of dribbling around the issue

Would you tell your daughter to "Pop the question" buy ring, get on her knees and ask "Would you marry me". SIMPLE

lilmax:
you don't know anything about equality.bye

freshdude2:
Neither did my mother. But, tell me, in what year will you answer my questions? Or did you not see them?

carefreewannabe:


I have answered your questions. My mother didn't teach us (girl or boy) how to woo the opposite gender.
Neither did she tell us that she expects any of us to do it. We didn't discuss dating rules with her.

lolz i just said yes now suddenly i dont know what equality means?
