women should cook

you can have a career, and still cook

or you could have a maid which is usually echoed and please let's not forget a maid is a girl

so feminism is empowering one woman at some point and degrading another(maid) same time

It's just a job, which men feel is beneath them. My colleague's cleaner is a man. Nobody is stopping men from being maids. Just as nobody is stopping women from being mechanics.

Having a woman as a maid is not degrading women. It's a job!

and what is wrong with the teachings in the text book? hu?


is it not the right thing? Saying the text book is wrong is indirectly saying that the Bible and God's teaching is wrong.

Man is the head who is suppose to provide and women is created for the sole responsibility to be a helper. isnt that what this text book is saying?


abeg leave matter jor.

A textbook has gone viral on social media, for teaching kids what has been interpreted as the ill side of 'gender roles'.  The textbook which relayed examples of gender roles assigned to both men and women, stated that husband should earn money and the wife should look after the children, serve, do the dishes, ensure the house is clean, ensure the kids are well behaved and also make sure that members of the nuclear and extended family are happy. 


I don't get it. What exactly is wrong with the text book? The fact that it said that the woman should cook, wash nd stuff (which is the primary responsibility of a woman anyways) does not mean it said that they should not work. The problem with the so called African women is that they have totally abandoned their roles as women and want to live the life of a man. Everybody wants to marry a woman like his mother, but come to think of it, what would have happened if your mother has same feminist craze of the modern Nigerian ladies? And which mother want a daughter in-law that will send her son to the kitchen? #Westernization is killing Africa.

Funny though but that was how things were when the family structure was still intact. During such times, divorce was scarce. Nowadays, women are not loyal anymore, they rub shoulders.

Re: Textbook Teaching Kids About Gender Roles (Pictured) by incogni2o: 9:30am On Jan 18, 2019
I agree with this textbook
It sounds like my ideal view of what a woman/wife/lady should be.
but it should have added except on exceptional or special cases

In the current way we are going as a world, The future and family may be more and more unhappy, disconnected,organized and peaceful as we know.

My dear the virtuous woman was also providing money,buying lands, doing investments read Prov 31. Do not add or remove. Most of the things men are peddling around are what the society taught them not from reading the bible

I don't get it. I thought you were referring to 'maid' as a profession. My maid is a mother of three on minimum wage pay . .

If you are talking of child labour then that is a topic for another day.

PS: Boys are also taken from their parents as children and used as house helps. That is not restricted to the girl child alone.

And yet when women go for rich men and shun broke guys, you people start foaming through the mouth.

Women are trained and nurtured to be caregivers from birth, they come prepared.

But men do not want to hustle and make money. They marry women knowing fully well they are too poor to cater for the family responsibilities. They end up relying on their wives (who are already playing their roles as home makers), to support the family financially.

The only reason 'women want to be like men' is because theymare now playing the role meant for men; it's only fair they get the same treatment as men.

Child labour is suffered by both boys and girls. However, i agree that Feminist should include children in the movement as women are the primary care givers. Children not just girls should be part of the focus. The children are the weakest in the society.

Very foolish writer.

Choosing career roles for women. That's how they continue to spread poverty and illiteracy everywhere.

I am alive today, thanks to a female doctor. This was decades ago. And I am seeing shiit like this in 2019.

Only block heads will see sense in this.


Quack writer below the feet of chimamanda.

Sorry for quoting you, but people are not getting the full picture of what the text book is trying to say! The page was talking about STEREOTYPES, that is the general idea that PEOPLE HAVE about the roles of men and women. It was not saying those are actual roles. I am sure if we turn a few pages back we ll get the FULL PICTURE.

Cheers
