fellis:

Thank you so much for sharing your opinion Mr. Chauvinist woman-hater!!!!!

fellis:
So you believe men are superior to you? Do you believe that those agberos and pick pockets in motor parks are superior to you? They are also men.

fellis: I want to have an idea of what the general trend among Nigerians is on the issue of whether women and men are equal.
Your opinions on the matter will be appreciated.

Denise216:

I'm not Nigerian, I'm an Atheist, I don't like or want children, I married a good looking man who feels the same, and I don't have to clean my own home.
Anything is possible.

Frankly speaking, Nigeria's economic and social development thus far and in the future will yield to relative equality. Complete and total Egalitarianism will never exist.

centje: please,where are you from?

Denise216:

There is only one place I could get away with being a Happy Heathen, Californication in the US of A.

centje: you're welcome to the green land!

stagger: Gender equality is a misnomer because men and women can never be equal. They are complimentary. Just as you need positive and negative to produce electricity, you cannot have positive alone or negative alone producing electricity.

It is about giving women the opportunities to be something in life just like the men, so that the level of complement will be enhanced. It is not men taking over women's roles and women taking over men's roles, but rather empowering the woman for her to be able to fulfill her roles to a higher degree. That is what "gender equality" is all about.

zanga420: You said it all. The problem is ladies drag hand where they're not specialist. If you get 2understand the areas they drag this foolish right U'll laugh. Eg U'll see a lady complaining that male n female soccer players should be paid equally. Sometimes some 'cos they believe men work they eat play tricks/prancks in work n when not rewarded they should blue murder, inequality. Thank God they hardworking 1s get rewarded. Sometimes they leave their specialities n d guys'll make those places work. Eg the pedicure n fashion industry. And alot of areas let me hold it 4now

trolling: if a woman is equal to a man then why wasnt she created the same day Adam was created or why was she taken out of a man, why wasnt she taken out of the elements like Adam, why didnt she get her instruction from God directly when she was taken out of Adam but was rather instructed by Adam or why was she in the outer court of the temple while the men was in the inner court or why is she prohibited from the temple on certain period of the month or why did God say to her He shall rule over you or why did Sarah call Abraham master.Or why would seven women beg a man to take their names in the nearest future.

Ayee Idris:

Where in my post did you get the inference that men are superior to women? I tire for u. Its impossible to get gender equality cos men and women are unique in their differences. What we need is gender equity that provides for the uniqueness of both parties. Male and female. Simple english oooo

Atheist:-D:


Why throw insults? You asked for his opinion and he gave it.

Abagworo: I believe in gender equality but the roles of the sexes are quite different. The major reason why people assume women are badly treated is because of the more complex sexuality of women. They have periodic cycle as well as bear and breast-feed children. During the periods of pregnancy and nursing men still go about their normal business while women must carry and breast-feed the baby. However apart from this complex sexuality of women, I see no much differences in both sexes.

Some ill informed women abandon their babies and family for their career just to claim equality with men. That is wrong as breast-feeding and taking care of your child does not make you less than a man.

Some men too suffer from same complex especially when their wives have better jobs and are earning more.

Missy_B: Yes! Men and women are very much equal. Perhaps, different, but equal. Why? Nor be the same amount of head, hands, legs, eyes, mouth and all whatnot we get?

If at all, for some inscrutable reason we're to illude ourselves into buying the idea of superiority amongst humans, it has to be based on more fundamental and valuable characteristics than just on a reproductive organ.

fellis: ^ Is there any scientific proof to your theory of docile women being favored over strong ones or is it just an assumption you made? Because if there is I would like to see it, maybe post a link or something.

fellis:
You didn't even mention your own opinion. Do you believe in equality or not?

dublinkmy6: Every living thing created by God demonstrates why the male is the head. Q.E.D.
Atheists/feminists, e.t.c. take note.

Logicboy03:


Superiority is based on religion and patriarchal culture not commonsense.


You can see that the hypocrite called Fellis, avoided answering my question on her religion (islam) and the inferiority of women in that religion

Abagworo:

There also exists maternal culture for example in Igbo and Ijaw areas where women control lineage and inheritance. I'm sure of Nembe and Ohafia. Does that mean that in Ohafia and Nembe, women are superior? The answer is NO. We are equal but play different roles.

wiegraf:
Evolutionary psychologists contrast their approach to what they term the "standard social science model," according to which the mind is a general-purpose cognition device shaped almost entirely by culture."
Lots of other articles on sociobiology and evolutionary biology pointing that way. But I don't have the time go through them atm and get more clear cut evidence. So yeah, take from that what you will

That's why I labeled the post 'random'. But the last paragraph more or else states my opinion; gender roles are needless, especially in this day and age.
We clearly evolved differently though, but there's no such thing as an overall 'better' person.

fellis:
That insult was uncalled for. You and Somali5 had already derailed and defaced this thread with your discussion on whose country is better. I wasn't going to help you derail it further by turning the thread into a religious discussion that was why I ignored that part of your post.

Logicboy03:
Who is asking for a religious discussion?
You cant mention gender equality and neglect the issue of religion and culture which are the major detrimental factors to gender equality.
You know as a muslim, you are a hypocrite if you as a woman claim to be for gender equality.

fellis:
Islam does not discriminate against women, end of story.

Sagamite:
So Islam gives women equality?
