Your comment is actually on point. I do not think that the olori is totally 'dumb' as some people are making her out to be but I think she misused some terms and perhaps has a limited definition of some terms too. Actually, we mostly relate with issues based on what we see, hear, imagine, read or experience so the olori's views are perhaps informed by issues that she sees regularly. And YES to some people how you choose to relate with your husband is a part of their own clamour for gender equality.I think Vera (of course she might have heard some) needs to actually see what people do in the name of 'feminism' and 'gender equality'. For instance, there are actually women who do not see gender equality in the light that Vera is seeing it here. I have been at talks where people 'murder' what feminism and gender equality could and should mean. Some (and I mean some women) see feminism as a clamour for men to be treated as inferior to men or as being men (extreme feminists we call them). Such misuse and misinterpretations limit the powerful creations that women are. The glory of a woman is actually in being a woman (and by this I do not mean the type of woman that remains in an abusive relationship or sells herself for cash or limits herself). I mean a woman should always set out to discover/explore her abilities and wisely build her world; only dumb men will berate such women. And (looking at my wife) I agree that women are very powerful and a force of nature and can do about anything...I mean ANYTHING. That awesome woman (I mean my wife) keeps me on my toes meen! I mean I have to always strive to be the best at what I do or I will not be worth such a lady. So... dont kill Olori ooo, its just as Stace rightly puts it, a case of misuse/misinterpretation of terms and her advisers should have known better.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://verastic.com/site/social/olori-ife-wrong-gender-equality.html#comment-220196">Stace</a>.</p> <p>Your comment is actually on point.
