The type of feminism I see nowadays is evil. All they want is freedom to wreck family, society and faith. I think you can fight for rights and opportunities for women without compulsorily embracing some of the devilish ideas that these Satanically inspired modern day feminists are championing 9 Likes 1 Share |

Na this kind thread dey give pocohantas joy but am here to read what she and her fellow colleagues wish to say. Back to topic* I was discussing with some men yesterday and they were gisting a pastor story about how his feminist wife is controlling him up to the extent that she influenced the man to steal from church purse. Though I can't conclude if the story is true but Nigeria version of feminism is demonic and evil 3 Likes |

Yes, it is relevant. But not to the extent it is in the West presently. Those folks have gone bunkers. Bringing up ridiculous demands. Example is Gender Pay (which does not exist), forced gender parity in companies (James Damore and Google). |

JONNYSPUTE: And this figure is based on? Look, there's nothing wrong with a man running the home. . . .a team has to have a leader. But we can't discredit the effort our mothers put into marriage too, raising us from day 1 till now, working their àsses off to still support their husbands in the monetary aspect and basically being there to take all our complains. That she isn't the bread winner doesn't mean she isn't involved in show running. Let me ask you, was your father solely responsible for giving you money for everything you needed growing up? 5 Likes |

JONNYSPUTE: You mean 9 out of 10 homes are run by men? Your Maths teacher failed you and the society at large... Yet on a thread asking if people will like to marry men like their fathers, majority recounted how they were abandoned. Nawa!

Even in the developed nations there's almost a thing line between misandry and feminism these days . But is feminism relevant in Nigeria today ? Yes, In the north where we have child marriages , where little girls are forced to get married to old men without education. A real feminist movement could end this. But that isn't what Nigerian feminism is all about (everything is mostly online sef ) the only thing Nigerian feminist would argue about is silly issues on twitter : 'wife not cook' , ' wife not slave ' ' transport fare ' and other silly topics . I believe in raising boys and girls equally , learning the basic things needed to become meaning adult ( cooking , cleaning, how to make money etc) but I will never support feminism . At least not the Nigerian 'brand' of feminism where Toto dikeh , mercy Aigbe and co tag themselves as feminist . Even in the developed world sef there are too many brands of feminism. - amber rose & blac chyna type of feminism , Beyonce type , Michelle Obama type ...so which one do you even subscribe to?? In reality its a very confused movent ! Everybody na feminist until them wan enter club . "Ladies free" 5 Likes |

pocohantas:Love ur humor always. Just Watch as little broke dick heads will hijack this thread. As if it's women that made them broke. To me a true feminist is a woman who works hard enough to buy herself a trophy husband/ boy toy. Our boys are now professional gigolos. They are ready to lick a woman's anus of she can pay. Nigerian men are more of gold diggers than women! The only thing is most of our rich women respect themselves unlike rich men in Nigeria who can sleep with almost anything under skirt. 2 Likes |

JONNYSPUTE: I do not know where you reside and conditions there, but I tell you Nigerian women (that I know and observe) are contributing to their households. Then again, how many Nigerian men are willing to marry such a woman who contributes to the household while knowing her rights? Today's economy demands both gender contribute to the family's expenses. Nigerian women know it. Question is: How many men are ready to live with the changes such contributions bring? P.S. Such women will not "tolerate" same treatment meted on their grandmothers and mothers. Things have to change and they have. 3 Likes |

Yonce:If you people actually appreciate who you are, you will never believe the Feminism stuffs. I have sisters and I wont want them languishing in the background of the society. Gender disparity is about responsibilities and roles, which we expected everyone to embrace his/her own role, but the moment someone somewhere is not happy about who they are naturally are, the rest is Wahala! 3 Likes |

XKZ: Did I accept that? To me, feminism is much more complicated in marriage. In marriage, there can never be two equals, there has to be a leader. Evolution and cultural influence has made a man assume that role naturally and willed women to take the back seat. If both parties reach a conclusion on how to run their homes and decides on who does which chores and how collective money is spent, I think society(me and you) owes it to them to stay outta their buisness and leave them to manage their own life. In other words, it is not compulsory the woman performs all the chores. . The couple can decide what they want. 2 Likes |
