If you're a person that fears God and loves the truth, be wary of these people that rave about gender equality. The Bible is unequivocal on the issue, A WOMAN AND A MAN ARE NOT EQUALS. You can question God or challenge Him to a debate if you don't agree but it is how God have ordained it and with good reason. These people are the kind that are not comfortable referring to someone else as lord and savior. Always atheists. Chimamanda is also pro-homosexuality. The Bible is very clear, For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior - Ephesians 5:23. This is why relationships capsize and marriages flounder, two kings can't rule the same kingdom or occupy same throne. The Bible is clear, 'Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord - Ephesians 5:22.' CE version reads, 'A wife should put her husband first, as she does the Lord.' Those who know better than God can go on with their gender equality campaigns. Equality and emancipation are two different things. There's a reason it's right to submit to authority even though they're human beings like us. This is where I stand.

It is high time you know that secular issues can never be mixed with religion.If you don't try to be open minded and learn about what all these advocacies mean then you would stop equating it to marriage.Since you are a Christian read on Christian egalitarianism.

Tamara15:
what Chimamanda's statement was she reacting to?

d young lady told Hillary Clinton that she was wrong in calling herself a wife on her Twitter profile

Xisnin:
Let us examine this case critically.
Chimamanda is an internationally acclaimed writer married with a child.
Dencia is a single 40 year old C-list singer with no stable boyfriend nor husband.
If we go by her sermon we will conclude that she is a lovely, obedient and well behaved
woman who believe in submission to one's husband.

Why is she then a single at 40 while the supposed men-hating feminist, Chimamanda is happily married?

It is either men don't appreciate her or she is a pretender and a horrible person to relate with.

It is instructive to know that most of the women pouring vituperative insults on Chimamanda are single, even on facebook,
there are very few negative reactions from married women, perhaps, they know better or have nothing to prove to anyone.

These single women attacking Chimamands are sending a message which is that they are wife material and they don't
want someone to spoil their market, it doesn't necessarily mean that they would be better wives than the maligned
feminists.

Feminists are sincere women who don't have to pretend to be liked, that is, what you see is who they really are,
and their homes are much likely to be peaceful because major issue have been sort out before time.

How about the anti-feminist "wife materials"?
You will never know what you are getting from this group, she could be a misandrist or could later
hold you by your balls while demanding for a better deal or "respect", something which she was
initially against.

Ask those men suffering in their marriage and you find out that they didn't marry
feminists, they supposedly marry women who believes that the man is the head of the house, some
of them don't even call their husband by his first name and would even condemn feminism if given a chance.

I will prefer a feminist than a pretentious obedient and subservient woman any day any time.

So who is thinking backwards, Chimamanda who thinks professional title should come first on twitter bio
or Dencia who allegedly gets irritated by such harmless suggestion?

This is the best comment on this thread! Tnk God for guys like this, gives hope dt not all men think feminism means male antagonism. A lot of people need to Google up feminism and educate themselves. There are different schools of thought on feminism, it simply means equal opportunities for the girl child, not necessarily man hating. But alas I forgot, most people will rather run their mouth than read and get correct information.

Sarang:


Well you could call it that I guess..still my view on feminism stands

I never questioned your view it made a Lot of sense.I just added my take on what really brought about these movements in the first place.

Sarang:


Nop I don't. Short and simple

then why would Chimamanda be upset about Hilary's choice to prioritize her wife and mother role over other achievements?

Ladyhippolyta88:
I agree a lot of women still have some level of patriarchal mentality in them.

especially those modern Nigerian ladies that believe men should be the ones spending the money on them and those that believe their source of income is the 's3xual organs'

CSTR1003:

chimamanda endorsed her during the elections.

Many voted for her because chimamanda said so.

This one is drunk.

martineverest:

I agree nicely put.They say my money is my money your money is our money.They turn men to financial slaves.

dafeyankee:
True.

A fake feminist.

Who is a feminist?usually a frustrated single lady in their mostly 30's, 40's and 50's who after failing in life, will now discover that their calling is to bash men, while pretending they seek equality.

Equality my banga soup. Who una wan dey equal to?you want to be equal?the feminists should first pick an empty bottle of coke,and try to pee inside.

If you can pee into an empty coke bottle, you have earned the right to be called an equal.

Or even jack a tipper with bad tyre. Foolish creatures.

Sarang:


Okay am childish..the see my signature must be disturbing your view.. and with an excuse of course.. And you think there's any differwnce between you and Chimamanda?!

....

Ladyhippolyta88:
I agree nicely put.They say my money is my money your money is our money.They turn men to financial slaves.

don't blame them.. blame the fools that spend money on them

CSTR1003:
smh.

Dencia must have hurt herself trying to think.


The places chimamanda have entered and dominated , dencia would be chased away with police dogs.


Attention seeking bleacher that does not know her level.

if d criteria 4 expressing one's opinion was based on d places people have entered, then chimamanda had no business talking 2 Hillary cause she hasn't entered places that Hillary has entered

CSTR1003:
smh.

Dencia must have hurt herself trying to think.


The places chimamanda have entered and dominated , dencia would be chased away with police dogs.


Attention seeking bleacher that does not know her level.

By your logic, you shouldn't also be criticizing Buhari since "the places he has entered and dominated, you would be chased away with police dogs."

prechbills1:


chimamanda doesn't have up to $2million and you and I knows that..

do u?

it simply means equal financial responsibilities

any ideology built on subjectivity cannot survive. Most of the posts supporting Chimamanda reek of subjectivitity.

it is either you are praising chimamanda's achievements or you are insulting Dencia.

sadly this is what I see in my many interactions with self acclaimed feminists.

An ideology that will stand has to be objective, consistent and applicable/repeatable.

"Equality in dignity and opportunities for all irrespective of gender, religion, race or ethnic affiliations" is an example of a consistent ideology. This is what feminism should be (focus on irrespective of gender). Now you have a woman who prioritizes her role of wife and mother above all else. It is her choice but you tell her that you are upset about her choices.

pray tell me, who violates the rule on respecting a woman's choices here? Chimamanda. Chimamanda was the anti-feminist in that discourse.

But who do majority of the self-acclaimed feminists support in that discourse? Chimamanda

Sarang:
says who?
what has marriage got to do with feminity?
feminism is equality.. it means don't treat your sisters, mothers, wives or any woman at all like trash.. it means respect. This is what true feminism stands for,
Justice not marriage and yes equal responsibilities.. you guys be thinking like backward people sef.. Shockingly it's mostly guys that hate feminism? Why? because you need a maid in your house and not a partner right? Trash! Chimanda is a well versed and educated writer..and who is Dencia? A social media influencer? .. Pot calling kettle black..or in this case pot calling snow black

don't quote me please just go and see my signature and support my cause

I could not resist quoting you, especially in the underlined area

1. Your submission up there is a case of your "emotional adrenaline" rather than rational
2. I believe it is needless defining feminism (your definition here is even watery). What is in focus is Chimamanda's audacity to question Hilary of her personal preference and preserve to see herself as first a Wife before any other accomplishment (of which Chimamanda is not even fit to lace those shoes)
3. Men hates feminism....bla...bla...bla, we've heard that a zillion times, but let's even go by that assumption. Is it not ironic that the so called feminist propenents are the ones intruding into fellow women's privacy, trying to force "feminism" (their jaundiced notion of it) on people? This is absolutely not feminism. This is just down-right daft reasoning. You don't go into people's private lives and tell them how to live their lives, especially when it does not suit you. A twitter fake-feminist who started the #menarescum. For some years she had lots of followers in young ladies who had all the reasons in the world not to live with a man. Guess what, recently the lady came to announce her engagement on twitter. These same gullible follower are now cursing her.
4. Who is Dencia, you say? Dencia has shown above all that she has a mind of her own. She is not gullible to follow Chimamanda....just because "Chimamanda is well versed and educated writer", but she is intelligent enough to challenge Chimamanda's submissions especially where suchdoes not make sense.

prechbills1:


don't blame them.. blame the fools that spend money on them

It is because some men believe they are impressing the woman.

Chimamanda is very silly and has no respect. Does she realize Hillary Clinton is nearly 70 years old? Is Hillary her roommate or peer to be asked such a question?

We are Africans and respect for elders should be maintained as is our custom.

BluntBoy:

exactly. his post is an example of subjectivity and "passion over reason"

Ladyhippolyta88:

yep....if u think deeply,chimamanda is trying to correct somethings.she is directing for message to those that believe being a wife automatically means u are actually second fiddle and those women that believe being a wife or getting married is an achievement

monex:


and I ask again ... does prioritizing her wife and mother role make her less of a feminist or a patriarchal hypocrite?

is feminism against marriage and family?

is feminism against a woman choosing her own life and priorities?

Of course feminism is not against any of those things. Did you know what her bio was when she was campaigning? To the point is simple she would never have put that up on her bio during election why now? Hypocrisy bro. It's just a reflection of Hilary's character she could say and pretend to be something else for her ambition. During her campaign she went out saying she is a mother and wife first rather she was busy potraying herself as an accomplished career woman first. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with how you choose to potrayed yourself but consistency in issues like this is a test of character. Take and stand and stand by it do not flip flop because you want people to vote for you.

Twoclans:


My night was fine, thank you.
Once my eyes are open, work has started.
Do you support feminists? I have been reading your posts since morning I cant place your position on feminism.

Tell me what you honestly think about it.

why won't I support feminism?
feminism is the best thing that have ever happened to mankind

CSTR1003:

dominique: :


I'm also a firm believer of equality and mutual respect in marriages but I will never subscribe to this Chimamanda's brand of feminism



Hardly, not healthy at all sad

Her feminism is too radical for Africa.

Her ideologies are for far advanced democracies with better civilised and exposed humans. Her target audience are not Nigerians anyway.

I don't expect her to go and preach feminism in Saudi Arabia .

Her comment to Hillary is un-called for. If this is feminism, then her brand of feminism is even too radical for America

martineverest:

True but I believe she should not have asked Hillary such.You and xisnin brought a good submission but your Nigerian brothers would always have a way to change something and call feminist beggars and bitter pained women.Some women see marriage as an achievement others don't.It is mainly over religious women that see marriage like that and they are so plenty in Nigeria.

To theist God rules our entire lives.Then democracy should not be practiced we should go back to monarchy as practised in the bible.Things are changing and don't lie to me that you practise all the message in your holybook especially the old testament laws.Sometimes I wonder when we would learn to separate religion from secular issues.Read on Christian egalitarianism sir.
