"Respect is earned " The same problem we've been talking about, if respect must be earned, must you marry? Why date or marry when you will withhold respect? Is the home a battle ground where wits and fists are to be used in a game of challenge? Some of you ladies just won't learn the easy way. We await the sad tales in days ahead. If on the flip-side, a man withholds love, financial responsibility and moral responsibility and sleeps around and tell you it must be earned listing conditions will you settle for such an unhealthy situation? Place the same standards on yourself. If respect must be earned, then it's not love, it's a battle ground

Men do the bolded and still expect to be respected.

It is earned by being respectful. You get what you give. If a man doesn't show me respect then I won't give him respect.

You want a man respected on the grounds that he is a man! I can't do that. I don't respect for the sake of it. I don't do that with anyone! If a pensioner disrespects me I will tell them where to go! Respect is earned!

This is whole truth. The Bible never gave preconditions before a man earns respect. As long as man(in this case woman) uses sense differing from Bible they encounter problems. Marriage is not law. Thats why many lawuers lafies have priblem in marriage. If earning money and paying bills is the main reason to respect the man then divorce him once you can do all that since you wont have reasons to respect him anymore.


The pre-conditioning is from a combative mental posture that encapsulates arrogance, belligerence, contentiousness, needless argumentativeness , insolence and a lot more. They simply can't manage been successful and been of exceptional character at the same time.


All these negative attributes no matter how educated a lady maybe makes her worse than an educated soul, what is education without character refinement?

Feminism wants women to have the right to be whatever they chose. It wants women to have power over their own lives and bodies. It wants women not to feel lucky for being given and allowed things they are entitled to in the first place. Feminism wants women not to have to censor their dreams or fine tune their ambitions so as not to be criticized or maligned.
In pidgin, Feminism jus wan make woman sef dey fit chuk mouth and hand too. Make dem sef no send.

Back to the thread, Feminism is not actually the problem. Feminism doesn't have problem, feminists are.

Its the bane of the African woman. Thats why i tell guys that they cant be sure of an Africans womans love unless she is richer or more powerful than him. Thats how a man will be housing, feeding and taking care of a woman for a long time only fir her to make it and start claiming right up and down.

If a lady has to keep proving herself to earn love then she's not loved. It's also the case with respect. Listen my lady, if you have to beg me to date you, then we have a crisis at hand, in love, respect, loving, admiration all comes without conditions. Conditions strife happiness, peace, joy in relationships. Ask anyone that constantly make permutations sets rules, and reviews them like it's a KPI, they're never genuinely happy, cause happiness isn't meant to be hinged on rules,but upon liberty and expression of one's soul.



Respect and submissiveness isn't slavery or controlling a woman, feminism preaches it. I like to agree we disagree on this subject but it's cool, to each one according to his and her beliefs.

[b]There is a parable Jesus quoted, he says a man that listens to my words is like one that builds on a strong foundation, and without notice, the storms come, the winds come and it hits against it but it remains, the other man that doesn't listen is like one that builds on sand, and the storms and wind came, and mighty was it's fall, my dear young lady, in life, " our present state " isn't the reality but a passing phase, the reality is what the process forms through us and pushes us towards. In the house and wind analogy, the two houses looked good for a moment before storm came, it's storms and issues of life that tests our building materials after, not before we construct but after we have constructed, it's at this phase life reveals who was wrong and who was right, which is why everyone can shout on social media for a moment, but a day comes that reveals the quality of our convictions, and it's always in the future, not in the moment, there's time, reflect on what people say on social media even your friends and as life extends, watch whose beliefs and convictions created happiness and success down the line.


Bottomline, to test any notion in life and make it a theory, subject it to time, time will reveal what's right and waht's not.[/b]
Not really religious but a good bible student.You are right and I acknowledged that time would tell.Also know that views changes from time to time.Your perception and my perception cannot be the same even outside social media and we focus on on own realities going conservative may work for A and not for B like wise other ideologies theories and beliefs.I believe we should carve out visions for ourselves life itself is a risk so we may lose some and win some when we fail we should not lose hope but work harder to repeat such mistakes.Nice one.

If you respect a man just because he pays the bills i sorry for that man if something happens in his life and he cant pay. And i sorry for you if the man finds out that your respect is based only on the fact he pays the bills cuz he will bail before anything happens to him that may affect him paying the bills. From the day he knows, he will only see you as pay as you go not wife. And that is the reason why there are so many baby mamas. Even my brother almost made the wife a baby mama just for this orientation last year.

But against these there are no rules, joy, peace, happiness, love, goodness, meekness, being nice, good, Godly, righteous has more gains, or rather has no downsides, i've never heard anyone dying from being good.

So, I should respect even when I am disrespected because to put such conditions on respect is what

So, I should show love when I receive heartache because to put conditions on love is what

All I am saying is all things are mutual and so is respect and love and one doesn't get those without the conditions ( give and take) I feel we are saying the same thing in different ways because I agree with 85% of what you say but I still believe love and respect are earned and only a fool gives it out for free...

“tell them to keep their love, because ,sadly, while you love to be loved, you shouldn't accept such love if it comes with conditions.”

If someone will only love you if you accept certain conditions tell him/her to keep his/her love".


Only the civilized and sensible ones are gonna understand this quote.

Why am i loving the vibes you're exuding? I wish you was in my hood, wouldn't mind asking you out on a eat out.

Anyways, what i mean is, and the error i see you making is, you have created your responses even before problem arises, even when you should treat scenarios differently appropriating the right responses in the face of circumstances as they come, you don't sound like you have a boo yet but you have a series of how-to-react in the face of challenges, i call this a faulty programming, de-program your mind. Whoever said you was going to end with an abusive partner?

You must be one of the most intelligent babes, I have ever encountered. cheesy I have a neighbour, whose husband abandoned her with 3 kids, despite the fact that she was the breadwinner, comforter and pillar of the house. sad He lost his job, a year after they got married. She would earn money and give it to her husband, who ended up losing everything in get-rich-quick schemes and MMM. undecided She was always forever making excuses for the man, and trying to cover up his mistakes. We all warned her that she had become a doormat, and the chap would walk all over her. She said 'we didn't wish her well.' Okay o. So we kept our mouths, shut. Last last, the man ended up dumping her for a single chic, with a big Merc, and lots of cash.

How? You said love and respect must be earned even to the extent of succinctly and subtly advocating that the woman can vigorously purse captainship of the home when she pays the bills.
