I believe it should be properly defined. Most people just think it's war against patriarchy men..

It should focus more on developing women rather than fighting men. It should focus more on educating women against rape and sexual assault than throwing men who rape in jail. It should focus on stopping child marriage rather than supporting the one who killed her husband she was forced to marry..

Feminism should fight for women's right to prevent patriarchy tyranny. As there's this adage which originated from my village, which says that "prevention is better than cure"..

Lilbest3:
what's tyrannical about patriarchy?

Lilbest3:
Feminists all over the world are the same. I don't understand why you people always like to attack Nigerians.
Feminists are a bunch of people who rant about things they know nothing about

CuteEmma:
Women not being allowed to go to schools, not being allowed to vote, not being allowed to protest, the list goes on..

Another example is quoting one line in my post that's kinda against modern day feminism

atheistandproud:
Feminism is a movement that by it's definition aspires for the goal of achieving equality for women. This movement by it's very definition is sexist and has given rise to misogyny in this modern dispensation.

Now whilst I do not deny that there are women who are suffering under patriarchal tyranny especially in traditional and Islamic settings and are in dire need of emancipation from child marriages, female vaginal mutilation (FGM) etc. Feminism and feminists (especially in Nigeria) has been very mum about their travails. If we are going to look at it in reality, the textbook definition of feminism is different from the reality of its practice. This has led to the coining of the term "Feminazi" after the exclusivist German national party of the Third Reich headed by Chancellor Adolf Hitler.

Whilst the goals of feminism are lofty and idealistic in theory, many Nigerians ladies who claim to be it's proponents and adherents (like Christians and Muslims) have ignored the unsavoury parts of it and have only chosen advance the parts that suit them.

For example, feminists may rail against female rape, sexual and psychological abuse, cheating by men, house chores, childbearing etc. but keep quiet or even celebrate when women cheat, rape or abuse their male counterparts etc.

In the true spirit of feminism, how many women will gladly become a breadwinner so that the men sit at home, not because they can't find a job but because their wives do not want them to work?

In Nigeria, if we still have women who want a man to pay their way, to buy them expensive gifts, to bankroll them, to pay their brideprices (something they should be fighting against), to pay for dates etc. Then we do not have true feminsts in the majority in Nigeria. If feminism has deteriorated to who washes dishes in the home then it should not be taken seriously.

There are real feminists in Nigeria but you'll hardly find them chestbeating or spewing expletives on social media and rather sadly they're in the minority.

Feminists in Nigeria need to take a step back and ask themselves if feminism is about who does dishes in the home, or if it's about women who are slaving under the boot of patriarchy that may never ever be educated or empowered enough to access social media and understand it's message.

The feminist movement is not about equality. It's a misandric and women supremacy movement. It's a movement that wants the rights and opportunities of men, the privileges of a woman, and the responsibility of none. I always tell men that feminists are not their friends. Feminists are filled with the natural feminine hubris of women superiority and indispensability, and the deep loathing and envy of men and masculinity.

Feminists are the embodiment of hypocrisy, self-centeredness, ego, wickedness, and double standards.

liljboy:
but won't push for more female soldiers in the army like their male counterparts... Na the good stuff dey hungry them lol

I stand to be corrected, I read where it was stated that in California, it is mandated by law that 50% of board members in any company must be female. Feminists don't want equality, they crave power even over men. How come there is no law that 50% of coal miners or garbage men should be women?

Lilbest3:
look at the new coronavirus bill that was passed in the US Congress, there is a special chapter for provision for women and children you will never hear anybody talk about it. Imagine if Congress dedicate a chapter to special cater for men during health crisis
