Well, Well, Well, where do I begin from? Men of these days are getting the stick and whilst understandably there are numerous men that are falling below par in their endeavors at home and in terms of carrying out "masculine" duty at home, it is generally difficult to comprehend a stance that portrays things like changing light bulbs or turning on the power generator, shutting the house door at night as masculine duties, see the piece below, written by one of our readers:

Quote
As children we always felt safe when our Dad was at home. He played the role of a father and chief security officer very well. My dad always made such the doors and gates were locked at night. And he would wake up very late at night to check again just in case anybody went out and forgot to lock up.



I have noticed that men these days don't play the role of CSO effectively. In my home I noticed how my husband would leave us in the living room and go straight to bed. Even when he wakes up at night to wee he doesn't even move around the house to check if everywhere is secured. But I do that, so I called his attention to it and nothing really changed.



I thought it was just my husband's way until I heard some women talking. One was talking about how she changes light bulbs in the house and fixes other electrical problems like their DVD and blender. The other one was talking about how she is the one that pulls the generator in the house, I didn't like that at all. So I asked her if her husband would sit and allowed her to be pulling the Gen, she said yes.

I said if na me we all go dey darkness, my hubby almost tried that with me, he would say things like babe please can you help me put on the Gen I'm busy with (He will give one heavy excuse) Me ke? Gen I didn't pull in my father's house as a young girl when the waist never dey do many things na now I go come dey do that? No o. Thank God I have two power banks and I can bear heat. When its time for him to watch the news he will put on the gen.


I'm a woman and I love being one, as a matter of fact I love being girly, and I'm not going to let one man give me muscles.
The locking of gate and doors i do because of my family's security.
There are so many things I don't do, not because I am wicked but because I feel there should be some advantages in having a man in the house.


What has happened to our men? First they said we should share the financial responsibilities in the house, we agreed. Now they are leaving the masculine responsibilities and tomorrow they will start saying I'm the man of the house.

Man of the house no be by mouth Oga draw that Gen.

For man to see a snake, and for woman to kill the snake, it’s for the snake not to escape. What men can do, women should do it better. Men of nowadays don shine their eyes wella. No more ball boy Grin

We, women, began to get more rights, became stronger, more independent. Perhaps men don't want to protect us because we are sometimes too strong and independent. It's not difficult for me to change the light bulb, but I really don't want women to stop feeling weak next to their men soon; we need it. Therefore, sometimes I deliberately pretend that I can't do something so that the guy will help. I once said that I couldn't connect such a simple lamp https://www.amazon.com/Night-Light-Plug-Smart-Sensor/dp/B07NF4P12L. It's a piece of cake, look at it. But it was important for me to see the condition of my guy as a strong and reliable family member. So that's it.
