MGTOW is very different from feminism. Feminism is equality for sexes. Men going their way is men trying to do away with any sort of attachment with women. Feminism didn't ask women to do away with men, except if we are talking misandry. That said, Nigeria men will never go their own way in full force. It will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for that to happen. I am yet to see anything that would propel that, they are heavily advantaged in unions that involves both gender. Just like they said they will replace women with sex-dolls and years later, we are still here. Naso this one go take pass. Give it 2yrs... 4 Likes |

pocohantas:I take it this is partly directed at me. You are right,feminism in its original sense does not want to do away with men. Are you saying there are no feminist ideologies today that believe men are to be done away with? 4 Likes |

Smile4mee01: Well, they should get to it. It's long overdue, they should sit up and start acting decent. Your last statement, how do they not deserve it? Because they are less qualified or aren't working as much as men do? @missjo hello - who is a lesbian, who is a feminist? Does feminism advocate for women going their own way and absolute forsaking of the male gender? |

pocohantas:The origin of sex dolls have no connection with mgtow or men not needing women. I think it has a Japanese origin way back in history,there was a need for it culturally. Can't recall exactly,will have to go check up on that later 2 Likes |

gram: this is what i always reference for the silly foolish boys shouting red pill and mgtow this is nigeria a woman has issues with her husband, the husbands family can just seize the kid and everyone will look the other way. women who are separated and with the kids and taking care of them fully with no support from the husband you can do all the deadbeat dad you want, nothing will happen these same kids are the ones who call women evening newspaper or fairly used product and other names. only 18 rape convictions in this countries history this is a heavily patriarchal society, and it is only in states like Lagos where the government tries to be progressive so when you see all the kids 'subscribing' to this movement, they are as stupid as people bringing in ferraris to drive on lagos roads. jumping on a system or philosophy without any logical thinking as to how it applies in this society Nigerian men are not in danger of anything. they literally have it all. 7 Likes 1 Share |

This was a thread in 2018, https://www.nairaland.com/4295146/which-gender-worst-affected-widespread#64277885 When Nigerian men wanted to jump on the sex doll saga, maliciously. Same way they are jumping on this one too... I made a post that everyone will be alright. From that Jan,2018 till now- mugu has been falling. Feminism in its true form, is even more sustainable than MGOW or whatever. Which part of sexual or marital relationship is skewed to heavily disadvantage the Nigerian man? He keeps the house and pays 5k child support. Is that why he is GHW? Jokers Abeg, make I go hustle small. 6 Likes |

Magnoliaa:No it does not but are there feminists who believe men should be done away with? Let us not do this,i don't want to do this. Just understand that extremists and hardliners exist among movements. From what i see in the starting post,there are levels to this mgtow. Not everyone is going to go up the levels same way not every feminist believes men are not needed for sex or procreation anymore. 2 Likes |

I think that ubunja character will lead some men down dark paths. I've seen a few posts of ubunja followers being unnecessarily rude. I just hope they don't throw away true love to make some vague, inane point. Fountainofyouth: 3 Likes |

missjo: Nnem, my post didn't suggest MGTOW was the origin of sex dolls. Some men said it will help them do away with women, Nigerian women. Which I believe is part of the MGTOW plan. Of course there are versions of feminism that are toxic, but it never started out to be so. Same can't be said for MGTOW, leaves me wondering what the different waves or misconstrued version of it would be like. But then, this is Nigeria. A heavily patriachal society. Anyone that claims the Nigerian man is at a disadvantage in a marriage is a highly deluded being. 7 Likes |

all these antifeminist wankers let their dads pass away or fall ill and their eyes will open i am on a whatsapp group of my old classmates. when one of us falls seriously ill or dies, na for everyone to rush to donate. because almost all the people involved were not earning that much to start with and their wives are more or less housewives. completely unsustainable some years back i had this useless indian oga. randy man who was always using us to sort out some issues with his runs girls. he was telling us about how his fav runs girl was a lady whose dad had died, and this was what she now had to do to raise money. I always reference awolowo's story for the same reason. his dad was rich, but the man died when awo was 10, and awos extended family simply shared everything. one of the brothers even wanted to inherit awo's mum. they were instantly destitute. these anti feminist trolls do not know the short thread they are hanging on;the horrible lives their kids will live if they pass on with unempowered wives, or the possibilities for them as well. i know a couple where the dad was in BAT, pulling down the big dough. the wife had a party business. today the man has been out of work for over 5 years and it is madam carrying them. dey there dey shout feminist upandan. unfortunately most of you are not capable of actually providing a family with a comfortable living 10 Likes 1 Share |

Actually, some versions did. There were more than one women's rights groups from the late 1800s to the 1900s in both N.America and Europe. Some were interested in equality for all. Some (the oldest groups) were interested in equal rights for "landed women"; i.e: women who had property. Bear in mind that voting in the USA used to be limited to "landed gents" which sometimes extended the honour to "landed women" (think of the harlot towns in Nevada). Some were interested in rights for white women only...and so on. pocohantas: |

You speaking madd truth!! I know a family like that too. The wife had spaere money from her small business because the husband insisted that HE ALONE must provide for the family. So she started investing in properties. HE was angry and tried to stop her but she continued. Now, he is not making much again and she is able to support the university fees of their kids. I want a PARTNER for a wife. Someone with whom I will build a life/empire TOGETHER. ornicus: 2 Likes |

Let me explain: There is no "it". There was never any "one" movement. Some feminist movements started out with "good" intentions. Some did not. Till today, there is no "one" feminism. So your definition of the word/movement could vary wildly from the definition of the person sitting next to you. pocohantas: |

The first feminist movement, a far as I know, was the movement for "landed women". It was not for all women. It was not for equality. pocohantas: |
