Joebie:
Feminism is supposed to be about women fighting against unfair treatment by their male counterpart. But I'm afraid if you pay careful attention to what those in the forefront of their struggle are canvassing for you will realize that they want far more than that. I'm not afraid of feminists because I can easily differentiate them.

Joebie:
The problem is that some men are guilty of pushing their wives into extreme feminism.

safarigirl:
some of the American ones are particularly disturbing. Those ones are terrorists, not feminists.

Chidonsky:
Exactly my point,is just beyond what it look like on the face value.It is suddenly like a virus eating deep into young girls, who now masked themselves with feminism as a cover up for their lapses.Even those who lack good morals and upbringing now parade themselves as feminist.I would gladly support the females against the fight on ill treatment but if it has to do with woman being equal with man then they should count me out.What most women lack from men in present day Nigeria is respect and simplicity of leadership.I mean men pusing those egocentric attitude behind them.

Humility017:


so babe are you a feminist ?

Humility017:


those are stupid men...
I understand some men are chauvinist
I once had a friend like that back then in school.....

he has this archaic Africa mindset....
and I hate it so much...
thank God he is in the US now and married to an American....

safarigirl:

I am a humanist, not a feminist.

safarigirl:

Joebie:
lol what an irony of events

Humility017:


I see both as same...kind of.

most Christian female lawyers....do claim to ne humanist....

but it's okay....

Humility017:



I tell you....
he is a traditional bini guy then it was very terrible...He don't believe men are supposed to cook....women wear trousers and many other things...

he once said...if his wife is to wear trousers and him wear trousers...then who is now the man....he made the statement in church a very big Church...right at the pulpit.

thank God he is in the US now...and he is married....
he told me recently that Nigerians are the ones that apologize...The Americans don't and will never apologize to you.

Interesting piece on Salisu Yusuf to Rangers

safarigirl:
both are not same and can never be, guy.

A humanist advocates for human rights irrespective of gender, a feminist is majorly concerned with female rights.

I cannot be put in a box. Today, you can see me advocating for women and tomorrow, I am advocating forr men. My own is for everybody to play their roles, without undermining each other.

Humility017:


Okay....that's fine...

my fear for such is that tomorrow the humanist may graduate to become a feminist

Joebie:
lol

safarigirl:


There was a post on Quora where one stated that she cannot imagine birthing a male child because she sees men as beasts and she can not bring a beast into the world.

On the same thread, some others were agreeing with her, see testimonies of women aborting their own babies because they were boys. One said she can't find it in her heart to love her son the way she loves her daughter, and imagines he will grow up and rape a girl.

The same mentally unstable people kept saying, "My husband is different though, I have worked on him......"

I did not know if I should pity the poor boys these witches were aborting and abusing, or the husbands they must have successfully emasculated and stripped of their sense of self.

Humility017:

Joebie:
lol..

Joebie:
I never see this type before oh.. this on na extreme of extremism.

Joebie:
In the matter of equality, I don't want to go religious on this topic. But often times I have to school some men who claim to be Christians on this. People like to make reference to the old testament when it suits them but cling to Jesus in other aspect that suits them. Let me not go on, we can talk about these things in private if you consider yourself a Christian, so we don't derail this thread further, also to show regard to those of other religions here.

safarigirl:


I don't love women that much to be honest, I stand a higher chance of graduating to a meninist than a feminist.

Humility017:


smiles...I understand as a lawyer it is impossible not to be a humanist/feminist....

my cousin... a guy who is a barrister has a very soft spot for feminists that was unlike him before...when we were growing up.
likewise some of my male friends who are barristers.... I really understand.

but you see women are unique beings.... I hate see a woman cry or being taken for granted but still no matter her achievements or the likes she should respect and be submissive to her husband and never draw shoulder with Him in any way.....
and likewise a man is to love and care for his wife wholeheartedly.

with this...everyone will be fine...
many of this feminism and chauvinist principles all birth chaos and fights in homes and rarely brings peace.....

Chidonsky:
The problem is that some women are learning from those who have nothing to teach them.Not every idea is ideal.

safarigirl:
dem dey call those ones Feminazi. They are lowkey psychopaths

Humility017:


exactly bro..

back then in school...remember one evening I was with my childhood friend...I asked her who was her role model...she was mentioning some kind of celebrities...I quickly shut her down...told her to make her mom and her eldest sister her role model...

Celebrities that can barely keep marriages for 6 weeks.... Celebrities into drugs and high class prostitution...

she should mirror her mom.because I have know her family so well.....
she nod her head in affirmation...

the truth is many of this ladies choosed the wrong mentors and friends to hear from....

even on Facebook you'll see it boldly on their wall...I am a proud feminist bla bla. ..
just laugh which man gonna marry you with that inscription.... except he sees something else

Chidonsky:
Thank God you offered a helping hand to that girl who k now by now she would have made the wrong choice.Most girls follow trend just to belong.I think there is much work for parents to do in child upbringing unlike before because of negative trends.I heard a story of a girl who his dad sent to school to Canada, when she came back she held her dad to ransom on female rights.Suprisingly she has become a feminist, her dad look with outta of shock as her daughter now hold him on debate that always end with disagreement.

Humility017:


just imagine.... that's why me wanna have only one daughter....that's my prayer.
I can careful put my eyes and take my time train her well......

that childhold friend of mine will be getting married next month...up till now we're still close and she is ever grateful...came visit me with her finance after her engagement mid this year.
