Being a woman has deprived me personally of some privileges, which I do sometimes think it's bad and sometimes good, especially as a Nigerian woman, there are things that we are meant not to do, examples

Not to take revenge when you are being cheated on by your spouse or partner: we have seen many instances around us and also on the net about women who has indulge in adultery because her spouse has also cheated on her, well am against this too, but where in the written word that say it's men that have the right to cheat and not being victimized?see I don't know about other countries but my own country would shame the woman in a bad way as if the man didn't do the same

Another thing is the role of contributing to the house keep, if you are from this part of the world you will hear instances like " I don't want my wife to work let her care take of the children" I'm also in this category, I don't know why they have that kind of mentality, or why it's like that, I don't know how they feel about women working and helping with the house keep, I overheard a conversation between two men , one of them just newly got married and the other was advising him to quickly get his wife pregnant so that he can have power over her, and he was advising him to not let her work anymore because from there she might start havin ga relationship outside marriage because she's still newly wed, at that point I was already boiling, I being a home baker has been a sort of issue for me I don't want to work for someone rather to have my business, but since i am not able of getting a shop for my self for now I result to doing my work at home and also keeping myself busy with my hive platform since I have been getting jobs of late, i think both man and woman should work for the house keep and whenever the woman gets pregnant and becomes quiet heavy , because one has to consider the stress women go through when pregnant, she should be allowed to rest and when she put to birth to take care of the child for a particular period of months.

Also women should have a say in taking decisions in the house or wherever, I notice even in church there's a discrimination against women, the men are give more right to take decisions in the church and when a woman comes forth to give her opinion , though she might be heard , but they still have to run the idea by the men in the church before it's being documented .i believe men and women should have the same right to talk and talk decisions.

If we look at the situation of the world at large now, we would see that there are so many successful women out there, for me women should be treated with the same respect a man get because we are all created in the image of God, women should also have a say in affairs if the state or country.

TO CONCLUDE

Even the Bible says women are help mate to the husbands not a liability but many have changed the interpretation of this to something else, well if I go on on and on I would have a lot of instances to give, but is all all women should be respected and treated in a right manner.

I invite @nancy @pretty-cynthia to participate in the contest

This has been quite an issue for sometime. Unfortunately we live in a country where the male gender are the dominants in every sphere of life. I do not encourage women who cheat because their husband cheated. It's cheer foolishness to do so. Women are moral agents in Africa. While men are praised with a tap on the shoulder for sleeping with more than one woman, women are disgraced and shamed for doing so and sadly this isn't about to change anytime soon, so long men keep believing they are polygamous in nature

For the man that wants his wife to get pregnant so he can control her. Such a man is shortsighted and obviously suffering from inferiority complex so much that his overblown ego tells him that having a working class wife could make her earn more and exposed to other men. That's bullshit and any man who shares such thoughts needs to see a shrink.

I'd always advise women, before you get married, define your goals and aspirations and state in clear terms things you can or cannot accept in the marriage. If he would love you to not work after marriage, you should go into the marriage fully aware that such discussion had been held and you agreed to it wholeheartedly.

As in ehn , when I overhead this men I was furious, though it didn't concern me I had to chip in, but then I realise that they were illiterate, well this our world has given men more authority and when you try to tell them it not supposed to be like that, they refer you to the Bible , that God says the man is the head of the family. This matter tired me

They are quick to remember that part of the Bible when it is very convenient. They do not remember it when the woman is the one paying the bills and taking care of the home or when the woman is the reason why the family is standing. It is only when it suits them they quote that passage. Head of family only when it is convenient. A head that can't lead will mislead the whole clan.

What a great comment Zizi❣️

Awwww! So much love♥️♥️ Thank you Sam.

It is written. Men ought to LOVE his wife as Christ LOVED the Church because he gave his life for his church.
Agape LOVE is God-like, sacrificial Love.

True, the Bible says it all

Yeah, we should treat women fairly, I agree.

'Women has a point and they should be heard. It's also their right to be heard'

Sadly, the society (not all though) always shouts women down and look at them as weaklings. But, they are not.

Just don't allow yourself to be looked down on by anyone - man or woman.

Thanks for sharing this on DreemPort

Women should be heard too, they have a say in all things,
Thanks for dropping by

I really don't know but I just think we should look at this differently and change our mindset towards this.

Women need to be heard too. They shouldn't be neglected because they are women. They should be allowed to voice out and the men should also assist them in all things and not just in providing the money.

These are my thoughts though.

@dreemport directed me to your post

You are right, but many people don't think so, just a few stand their ground on women to be heard

That's why I said it's hard time we changed our mindset towards this. God help us

Amen I we pray for massive change

Thanks for the tip,💕

Women deserve an equal voice in society. Both men and women have their strengths... some of those strengths cross over, and some are unique, but mutual respect should exist regardless. We are all individuals and we should all be permitted to pursue our own passions and joys in life, within the context of the shared family life in which we choose to be a part. !ALIVE !PIZZA !LUV

So true, in this 21st century there should be equality in men and women, because most women now take up responsibilities of men, so I believe you should be treated welltoo
