FEMINISM: THE BLEEDING BEAUTY
THE GOOD FIGHT, THE BAD WAR….
( @rccghq @adeoladat @LekeAlder @familybooster @IbukunAwosika @lanreolusola @subomiplumptre @jimidisu @Tunjigrace )

The term feminism can be used to describe a political, cultural or economic movement aimed at
establishing equal rights and legal protection for women.
Feminism involves political and sociological theories and and philosophies concerned with issues of gender difference, as well as a movement that advocates gender equality for women and campaigns for women’s rights and
interests.

Feminism has altered predominant perspectives in a wide range of areas within Western society, ranging from culture to law. Feminist activists have campaigned for women’s legal rights (rights of contract, property rights, voting rights); for women’s right to
bodily integrity and autonomy, for abortion rights, and for reproductive rights (including access to contraception and quality prenatal care); for protection of women and girls from domestic violence, sexual harassment and rape;for workplace rights, including maternity leave
and equal pay; against misogyny; and against other forms of gender-specific discrimination against women. What would you say is wrong in the above listed objectives?
Nothing is really wrong in fighting for justice and fairness; nothing could be said to be wrong in striving to
be heard and seen but along the line something went wrong, the movement become a mobbing and a covering for vendetta narrowing the battle down to gender scuffle.
Unfortunately the supposed good course had lost it’s original voice that gladdens without grinding to give us
noise that offend and attack everything and everyone that do not agree with it and label them misogyny.
The good course suddenly turned war and a very wrong one because even the noble call that started the movement is being shaded with noises that is sounding rebellious,
in this war; no none wins, lives are consumes and the innocent suffer, when does this good fight turned to bad blood?
Not long ago a renown Nigerian celebrity and Actress “Genevieve Nnaji” was reported to have said something that dig up the threat and fans the flame of hate
and attack between gender when was quoted to have said
“My own FEMINISM is just human right, I’m a woman who has rights to her own choice; I can do whatever I want whenever I want, it’s just that simple; if I were a man, it would be the same thing. at the end of the day I
was born alone, I’m going to die alone, I breathe alone, so I definitely have the right to how I want to live my life.”
Is anything wrong with that?

Just days before this, a famous pastor, the General Overseer of one of the biggest church in the world’ Pastor E.A. Adeboye said
something to celebrate the birthday of his wife of over 50 years but his comment caught the fire and irritation of many

This is what he said:
“Many men are misbehaving because they want to establish that they are the head of the wives
The husband is the head of the wife.
No matter how educated or successful you are, your husband is your head and you must regard him as such at all time. It is a terrible thing for the husband to feel that his wife is his head.

Today is my wife’s birthday and there are lessons that women, especially, so many young
brides can learn from her, she is a powerful woman, I know that.
She has many people who take instructions from her, but as powerful as she is, even though she has seen me in my weakest moment, I have no doubt that I am her head.

Also, my wife is my number one fan, she wrote
in the book- Mathematics of Marriage which we co-authored, that as my help meet. She knows she cannot help without my instruction, so when they come, her response is Yes sir!
Just like the virtuous woman described in Prov. 31: 1-31, I safely rest on my wife, anything I uphold;
she uphold too. Can your husband rely on you?…”

And as expected torrents of responses follows with courtesy thrown to the wind and social media led the war. The conclusion is that many of those who got bittered and irked with what Pastor Adeboye wrote are Feminist and
few of those responses are:

@_Toseen_ tweeted
“If marriage is going to be how Baba Adeboye described it, then fuck it. I cannot.”
@benxtra
“I can’t believe Adeboye really sat down and found a way to make his wife’s birthday about himself and his power over her. A simple “happy birthday my love” will do next time, please
@Hafizbello
“Using your wife’s birthday to air your fragile masculinity to be superior is one of the signs we’ve got the wrong role models. Just tweet “Stay jiggy” next time.”
@BForL3
“I went through this thread expecting to see her achievement, legacies this woman built, stories of lives she imapcted! But no, I saw a man talking about submission eww!”
@Jules
“I’m literally disappointed. Instead of eulogizing the woman. You make it about you and submissive she is. I literally cringed reading this.”
@Ebeke
“Do you know how ugly it is that you need to reduce someone to feel worthy. We rise by lifting others, until it’s your wife and then you rise by reducing her and removing her head so you can replace it with your own. That Pastor Adeboye Thread is horrible on many levels”
Needless to quote more but the message and the anger is clear, though there are many who call Papa Adeboye name for such description of his wife and advise on her birthday, there are few others who disagree and state their contrary view and leave it there.
The real question here is; who is making this noble call for girl’s / women’s right and protection a dreadful war?
Every girl’s child has been termed endangered species in this world called men’s world but that will be half true and half wrong.
Endangered?
YES! Definitely with countless soul-wrenching stories of the handling and treatment of women by the culture; Society and even Religion, so the call to protect this beautiful specie called WOMEN CAN NEVER BE WRONG

Though, we see figures of MEN leading nations, industries and
even ministries but we know that as mighty as they appear; they still mostly find comfort; strength and cover in their WOMEN, if you doubt it, ask; how many true Mighty MEN out there do things without the influence and consideration of their wives?
