carefreewannabe: Well done carefreewannabe. I just could not ignore this post. I have read many posts from men in NL encouraging women to stick to their traditional role. Then in another post you see them asking what have women invented or contributed to society. The People who even invented most things in the world today believe in gender equality while the African man who have not developed much suddenly thinks he is superior to the African woman. The situation becomes worse when you then realise that the same African man that thinks he is superior does not have any invention to his name. Apparently he is superior to a woman because the person that invented whatever is the same sex as him. Empty vessels indeed makes the loudest noise. 3 Likes |

bukatyne:Is chivalry now a culture? I thought it was common sense according to zeb04 ![]() You're Nigerian, do you want to be the recipient of chivalry or not? Did your father, you mean... ![]() Unfortunately I don't see/hear men complaining about their doors not being opened for them, or their bags not being carried for them, or a woman not holding their hand to cross a busy stretch of road. And hey, what's that bit about a man needing help before a woman can give it? The women who need chivalrous gestures - their doors being opened and heavy bags carried for them, are they handicapped or less privileged? PS: Like I asked the other - as a feminist yourself, which of those campaigns do you support and are actively a part of? Also, which of them did you have a knowledge of before this thread? 1 Like |

bukatyne: then you are a fraud! i think some of you women should just accept you missed the train as far as feminism is concerned. you are too old to claim to be a feminist. you are a married woman - you were proposed to, a bride price was collected from your husband & yet you still want to claim there's equality between you & him? no married woman in nigeria can claim to be a feminist - that is fraudulent as far as the movement goes. your feminism should have paid your brideprice. you cannot enjoy the perks that come with patriarchy & then claim feminism on the other end of the stick. the guy that married you was trained & got educated like you were..... why was there a need to pay a price on your head? 3 Likes |

pickabeau1:Pick, these quotes from that link of yours got my attention most of all. As a female (and I guess a really bad feminist) I am totally appalled at the video. I make as much or more than my male co-workers, and have since roughly 1995/1996, so I also don't "get" the pay gap thing at ALL. I HAVE, however, seen females in jobs such as heavy lifting, who can only do 1/2 the work of their male counterparts, somehow think they're entitled to be paid the same. Half the work, half the pay, pretty logical to me, but then again, I've always been treated with the utmost respect at my jobs, I simply can't relate to them at all. Hexxuss yeah ive never seen any examples of actual wage gap, i worked in concrete this summer and the highest paid employee was female, because she had the most experience, worked for the company longer than anyone else and was the fastest and best at the job. she made 3 an hour more than the highest paid male and a full 10 dollars an hour more than me. my dad works for a chemical processing company and his shift engineer is female, she clears at least 75k a year more than him, my moms a teacher and she makes exactly the same as every other equally educated teachers, less than the male principle but more than the males (and females) with only a bachelor degree. john_soap Zexten, Carefreewannabe, do you think women are paid less than men for the same work? 1 Like |

dBard: Oh really? The sons stay? And the daughters go? Well, for your information, I am the one in MY family along with an uncle who takes care of our elders THE MOST. So what does it mean, the daughters go and the sons stay? And IF the daughter inherits what her mother inherits, why is there a difference made between sons and daughters? The daughters have to share with mummy but the sons get their own share? |

freshdude2: I see you are surrounded by great women. ![]() 2. Change your circle of friends. Take your own advice. You are the one who is not surrounded by great women. I don't have friends who blame their failures on racism but I see such people on NL every day. 3. Nope, men are fair creatures we are also creatures of habit. If a man sees good work he acknowledges it and expects more good work, if he sees shitty production he remembers that as well and comes to expect from source. Problem is women majorly produce shittiness. Only a few women are truly competent and we respect them for that. Notable among your ilk: Margaret Thatcher, Dora Akunyili, two woemn who didn't need feminism. Men are fair creatures and women majorly produce shittiness. And after you have the audacity to generalize in such a way, you will be the one who will fight feminism. Men like you are the reason why we need more feminism. |
