In her response, she told the man, “Keep your love, because, sadly, while I love to be loved, I will not accept your love if it comes with these conditions.”

That response, I echo it. If your love has conditions, please keep it. Let me be me. Thank you

That's were she and those of you in support get it wrong. outside the love of God, there's no other being who's love doesn't go with conditions. That aside, feminism is a misconception of roles. Women should demand to be treated as humans with rights like every other human and not using men as the yardstick. If they want the same roles as men, who would fill in for theirs?

if women are to be treated that way i'll be happiest man on earth, do you know how many brothers are jobless just the powers that be prefer woman not because they're more quailified or more intelligent just because they're women. And do you know how much insult some guys endure fr ladies just because he wants to woo them sometimes he might not even be interested in them he probably just wants to ask a question they'll start raining insults and abuses on the poor guy, he has no choiCe but to endure regardlesS of what the woman does if he reacts he'll be called an animal and be seen as a heartless person

I believe you all will agree that their are things that you can't take or endure from another man but if a woman does same you will have no choice but to calm yourself and overlook it,

Women and Greed! I don't know what else they want, everywhere you go, all you hear is "ladies first", what a man will struggle to get in one year, they get it in less than one hour (by the power of their pvssy) yet they want to be treated like those with joysticks.

Award-winning Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, wants women to be treated as though they have “penis.”

Adichie stated that her aim for feminism drive was to ensure that marriages change for good, and that women are treated same as “someone who has penis.”

Speaking with The Guardian of London, the novelist noted that having a feminist label attached to her has changed things.

She said, “I was opened to a certain level of hostility that I hadn’t experienced before as a writer and public figure.”

The award-wining writer recounted her encounter with a young male admirer during an official outing in Nigeria.

Adichie said, “I used to love you. I’ve read all your books. But since you started this whole feminism thing, and since you started to talk about this gay thing, I’m just not sure about you any more. How do you intend to keep the love of people like me?”

In her response, she told the man, “Keep your love, because, sadly, while I love to be loved, I will not accept your love if it comes with these conditions.”

I greatly admire Chimamanda.

And I support her view that women should have equal right.

However, I have the impression that it has become very difficult to please some women.

If I treat a colleague as though she has a "joytsick" and expect her to life the same heavy box as me or not open the door for a lady, what will they call me?

How do we reconcile all these things?

Will treating a lady like a lady then be tantamount to offending her?

Will it soon become inappropriate to expect a woman to have babies or suckle of a baby?

Where are we heading? shocked

Sadly, no love is unconditional. Although you have the right to believe otherwise.

Feminists are the most confused set of people on this planet. Shey u want me to treat you as i treat a dick bearing being?
If I'm engaged in a heated argument with my fellow guy and one thing leads to another, na fight dey follow next. But if such should happen with a woman, na una go still come dey talk rubbish say women are the weaker sex and so no man should lay his hands on a woman. Na una go dey rain abuses on that man. if i see a woman struggling with heavy load, i should ignore her so you'll say i am not a 'gentleman'

Really confused set of species!!!

Oga no problem then. Do the cooking and dishes. Wash your wife and kids' clothes while you're at it. A man is physically and emotionally more resistant for a reason. The next thing you will tell me is men should marry men and women should marry women and anyone who thinks otherwise is a lesser man. Even animals now have more sense than most of you.

I dislike the insincerity of acclaimed feminists.

"Women should be treated as those with joysticks" but when armed robbers attack, the same women will run behind those with the "joystick" and the "joystick" will willingly receive the bullet on her behalf.

I really pity our Nigerian ladies who are doing copy-copy of the nonsense feminism wave blowing in the West.
Ever wondered why the rate of divorce and separation has increased in Nigeria since the advent of Social Media?

Ladies, be wise as no man will ever give his best to any woman that dare challenge his authority all the time. Make a man feel less of himself and watch a Prince turn to a dare-devil!
Men are naturally egoistic in nature, stroke his ego positively and trust me, you will have him do anything you wish without conflict.

Why does she only talk about negative experience she encountered while in Nigeria. Surely she had many positive experience too..... yawn

Do u know 1 problem u hv dt u need 2 urgently work on? Poor communication skills. In 6 sentences, u hv managed 2 simultaneously nt make a single point & veer off d topic @ hand. Instead of returning d insult u hurled @ me in ur last sentence, I choose 2 bring u back 2 D topic being discussed. U spoke abt feminism being behind high cases of divorce & single parenthood. I countered saying dt marriage was a union contract between 2 different bt equal parties & it's both d duty & responsibility of husband & wife 2 protect their marriage so if 1 party decides 2 sabotage dt Union, D oda party shldnt b blamed 4 leaving. My final sentence was a statement of my opinion dt any man who believe by virtue of his sex, he's supposed 2 Lord over a woman & treat her lyk a subordinate is d least of men. Ur subsequent rant showed dt I struck a nerve & dt u unfortunately fall in2 ds category. 4rm ur brownian motion-lyk rants, I gleaned dt u think dt cooking & doing house chores r beneath a man. FYI I've cooked, cleaned & washed my clothes as a single person & so hv many males. I dnt think dt makes any of us lesser men. So if I hv 2 do dt in marriage, wts d big deal? If my wife can wash my clothes, y can't I wash hers? Y can't I wash my children's clothes? Wld any member of my family fall sick & die if I do dt? If I don't want 2 do it, it wld b because I'm unwilling, lazy or exhausted nt because it's a taboo 4 a man 2 do it.

this is wrong..a woman is a woman and a man remains a man.treat the pussy as a cat and the dick as Harry.

Women are actually confused in this area. Treat a woman as a Woman, that is when she will get all the love and care that she deserves. Treat her like "someone with a joystick" next you will hear is, "treat her like a lady; dont you know she is a woman".

They want to play the same game, on the same field with men but want a different rule.
