Historical nature of 'genderedness'...

"As a girl, you shouldn't..."
"As a lady, you shouldn't..."
"As a woman, you shouldn't..."
"As a female, you shouldn't...'

SHOULDN'T DO WHAT? I'm lost! Not to mention the fact that I am sick and tired of this bigotry.
How about we try "AS HUMANS...?"

It's high time the world broke away from gender inequality. Well, there really isn't anyone in particular to blame for the patriarchal nature of the society. Better still, that one person(s) is/are long dead, so... But really, we have to leave where they left us and move on, after all, change is constant!
Enough of defining 'feminity' as:
weaker vessel;
delicate body;
being cute;
responsibility to cook, clean, dress and raise children;
exemption from sweating/stress
being polite
non-aggression
passiveness;
...anything other than this is then tagged 'not ladylike', PFF! Like we all aren't originally supposed to be all these as humans.

Sure, shedding off this generational / traditional 'genderedness' skin wouldn't come so fast and easy but then, WE GOTTA DO WHAT WE GOTTA DO!

Funny thing is, the more feminists there are, the more gender inequality spreads its tentacles. Also, females themselves challenge feminism 😂😂. Crazy right? I wouldn't blame no one, they got their reasons, and the whole feminism thing is perverted most times.
I also wouldn't totally exclude me from the act of tagging some females/activities 'masculine': we all are so deep into this, loosing our humanity to gender discrimination... IT'S SADDENING!

We want to redefine feminity and womanhood!!!
We're past the shallow definitions!!! 😢😢

We def do not have the same buildup, but isn't that what it is with us all as humans? Our differences transcend physique to emotions, temperaments and intellects...
male...female
introvert...extrovert
art smart...science smart

All because the physical difference is easier to dwell on doesn't mean it should be all we are to be concerned about. Instead, let's make this planet work, let's set it in motion, tailoring our differences to development. We can't keep on addressing the same issue for centuries, IT'S TIRING!
The babe can be a babe if you let her do her, she isn't weak, NO! Neither should a guy bear the world's burdens on his shoulders all in the name of being 'macho' and being 'the boss', Christ has our cares on Him already 😊😊


P.S: Truth? All of this gender activism is tiring. But we can't let this inhumane part of us thrive. Sadly, we're so deep in it we now regard it as normality...

A New Dawn Is Here

Hyhyhy! Hello lovelies. So I've had this page on for, 3 years now right? And it's been idle ever since. I agree, I've been lazy, giving the poor state of my phone for an excuse. I must tell you I'm still using the phone, lol. So, I want to get the page active again, you know this fire refueled. But then, I need our encouragements. Please drop your comments on articles dropped and make sure to refer them to your friends and friends. We don't do enemies right? 😂😂 Although, there might be a little edition in the page title, or should I say diversion in contents. Actually, it was me all crazy about poems when setting up the page, but then, growth comes with a new kind of focus and determination you know. So we will be having more of gender activism, not just narrowed down to feminism, but also treating the few cases of male child abuse as they come in focus, God helping me. Maybe a few poems or motivations at times, and of course, we continually bring ourselves ...

Virginity is really no biggie afterall; it isn't the icing, let alone the cake 💁💁

...since I already took permission to 'just write' and I believe I've been granted the permit (read my apologies - previous post, for better understanding), LET'S DIG! YAY!!!💃💃💃💃 As I was saying, virginity or abstinence is really no biggie you know? Hold up, sip water, I'll break it down, let's journey... (Errm, so I realize some of my audience aren't just Nigerians, let alone Yorubas, but please try and follow, I'll make sure not to lose you 💖💖 I'll be making a few references to Yorubas. Some might even be similar to what you have around you...) ...so, I know some Yoruba gods and goddesses demand their worship done (or sacrifices carried) by just virgins just because these gods love purity. So, to start with, I'll say virginity is more about consecration. Did you know occultists demand 'virginity' in order to keep their powers safe and intact; potent. This time, more of abstinence or they are said to have committed a sacrile...

What exactly defines manhood?

Hello! Welcome back 😊 So, earlier this month, I was having an outpour of anger on one of my social media accounts, my WhatsApp status to be precise, so much that a friend had to call me to check, saying I'm a borderline sexist. Lol! You can imagine how much I vexed so much that I was called to check 😂😂 But then, like I later shared with another friend, I was throwing shades on the menfolk 'cos of younger men. Imagine a father, one of those 'I'm the man' diehards; he wouldn't mind going naked so you know he is masculine, pff! A widower! You wouldn't want to imagine how much he squanders his wife's investments after her demise. This same woman was the breadwinner of the family while alive, doing everything to give her family the best, not excluding her husband, still... Now, even at her death, he couldn't hold up for 6months. The children are thrown out of school. He's after asses... Lots to his credit. But he's the man! And the wife...
