Definitely!
I mean why should there be inequality in the first place? A fancy term for regarding a gender as less to the other 😑.
You know, during mass service today (yesterday), the reverend father while narrating the story of Abraham, specifically on the part of having to sacrifice Isaac to God, he pointed that it would have been an easier decision to make if it were to be a girl child, specifically for an African parent which is painfully true... and that just had me shaking my head.
True.. Africans, mostly, Igbos don't really regard the importance of female children. Their mindset is that - they would train the female child for another man's family to enjoy.
Whereas their male child would marry a female to have kids with and continue the family name. Being a traditional man and looking at it from the customs and traditions of where I'm from, I think the concept is substantiated, but one thing I don't agree with
One thing I don't agree with is that they treat females as "less" because they think a female child would not bring glory, honour to the family and continue the family's name. I think everyone should be treated fairly and equally no matter where they are.
Speak of fair treatment, have you ever heard of "Woman and big nyash advantage?" It's easier for a woman (with or without big nyash) to get something whereas it's very difficult for a man to get the same thing.
Lol 😂.... First time coming across that term, though I won't doubt the effectiveness of that in certain situations 🤦🏼♀️.
Indeed, everyone should. Same regard, recognition and respect ought to enjoyed by both genders.
That a female's children doesn't bear her family's name doesn't blur out the fact that they are yet, her parents' grandchildren.
I heard that a lot too but in dramas sha, that a woman's education ends in the kitchen. A poor mindset, I must say.
I hate that mindset and I don't support it. Women are more capable than we can imagine
