FEMINITY VS FEMINISM

CHIMAMANDA YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON WOMANHOOD IS WRONG!
Notable Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is in the news for her reaction towards Hillary Clinton’s twitter bio.

Adichie, on Sunday, interviewed former US presidential aspirant, Hillary Clinton at a PEN World Voices Festival. During the interview, she used the opportunity to ask Clinton a rather interesting question about why her twitter bio read ‘wife’ before anything else.
“In your Twitter account, the first word that describes you is ‘Wife.’ And when I saw that, I have to confess that I felt just a little bit upset. And then I went and I looked at your husband’s Twitter account, and the first word was not ‘husband”.
To which Hillary Clinton replied;
 Clinton, quoting Barbara Bush, continued,
“She said, you know, at the end of the day, it won’t matter if you got a raise, it won’t matter if you wrote a great book, if you are not also someone who values relationships” 
She added, “It shouldn’t be either/or. 
“But I think most of us as women in today’s world end up in the middle. Wanting to have relationships, wanting to invest in them, nurture them, but also pursuing our own interests”.

Oh! how I love Hillary Clinton's response to the knuckle-headed issue of FEMINISM.

MY TAKE ON THE FEMINISM SAGA
Let's start from the very beginning........

Feminism is defined (remember I now hate definitions), as a political and social movement that share the goal of campaigning for equal opportunities for men and women.

Now in my assessment, if the definition above is anything to go by, then feminism WOULD NOT translate to women having more power than men.

Originally I believe the term was coined with the view of helping women contribute their quota to life beyond their primary assignment of reproduction.

I want to believe that the idea was to expose the girl child to; for example, good education to enable her harness her potentials and ultimately become a relevant member of society.

And not for her to get educated only to get into the "craze" of proving points to men and unfortunately get into the "fight" for supremacy, so much so that she forgets the original intent of acquiring education.

All of these is in contrast to being FEMININE.

BEING FEMININE is associated with being Delicate,Pretty, Soft, Gentle, Tender etc

All of these words for me have something in common; Something to be treated SPECIALLY.

SO LADIES, WHY STRESS YOURSELF FLEXING MUSCLES???

Being FEMININE is all God planned for us to be; NO MORE, NO LESS!

Ladies, just in case you have never read the creation story of the Bible, You were created in the Garden.
The Garden is indicative of Beauty and Serenity.

Makes me wonder about the "crazy person" who propounded the EVOLUTIONARY THEORY. That we evolved from monkey's, how gross!

So why then are you BREWING CHAOS with the feminist charade???

I do not condemn the original intent of feminism if the definition is all that there is to it.
What I find repulsive is the actual practice of the concept in today's world!

New age practice of the concept of FEMINISM is sadly a LONG WALK from the CONCEPT OF BEING FEMININE.

Today Feminism has turned into nothing more than a "laughable" campaign for the "supremacy of women".

Simply a case of MISPLACED PRIORITIES!

How can a person expect to be relevant outside the ecosystem they were designed for??

How relevant is a fish outside water??

That's the "sad story" we women are likely to become when we leave our place of COMPLIMENTING MEN for the place of COMPETING WITH MEN!

If only Eve had not felt the need to be "better", without knowing she was already the "best" for the Job she had been so intricately fashioned for; the serenity of the garden would not have been disrupted!

The point is, just like Eve we do not know how much possibilities and finesse we have at our disposal!

The HARD TRUTH is this, Your place as a woman is being SUBMITTED TO YOUR HUSBAND!

YOUR MISSION, UNDER HIS!

New world Ladies will hate me for this one but let the truth be told!

When you submit, a sensible man may choose to let you walk at his side; knowing that you have no issues following his lead!

A sensible man wouldn't also mind supporting your dreams,
wouldn't mind letting you shine because you will be seen as a reflection of his MANLINESS.

You will become his most prized  ACCOMPLISHMENT and that glow of pride will be evident on his face.

You can ask the husband of the Proverbs 31 woman.

Your man, is your crown.
You best believe it and fall into symphony with nature.
Or
Fight it and have your beauty marred by Nature!

To believe in the madness of FEMINISM is obviously LACK OF UNDERSTANDING about your PLACE and PURPOSE as a woman!

WOMEN DON'T LOOK GOOD WITH MUSCLES, STOP TRAINING MUSCLES!

Be a Woman,
Your Security is in your fragile Nature!

The world Naturally responds to "damsels in distress", that's how loved we are!

Love,
Your Fragile Giant!
