Man - Category Alpha; Woman - Category 'Other'.

The following happened to a friend of mine this morning (It may be slightly tweaked):

(Crash! Bang! Gbao! Crunch! Someone hit her car - a man).


Her: "How are we going to take care of this without wasting a lot of time?"
Him_1: "I don't know why you women drive like this? Did you not see me coming?"
Her: (Shock) "WHAT?! You hit me from behind! Was I supposed to park when I saw you coming in my rear view mirror?!"
Him_1: "Yes! Since you obviously don't know how to drive. Who gave you a car anyway?"
Her: (Sarcastic laugh) "Wow. I thought I could have a sensible conversation with you. You have now proved to me that a suit and tie will not help a foolish man."
Him_1: "You have no home training. Is that how you were taught to talk to men..."
Him_2: (Aproko who saw this man and woman pointing fingers and talking angrily at each other, parked his car and  'joined the conversation') "Woman, how can you be talking to a man without respect like that?"
Her: "You can like to get in your car disappear. I don't see how this concerns you".
Him_2: "Oh, you are not even married. No wonder".

What. The. Flip?!?!?!

So, having a husband would have taught her to be a door mat for all imbeciles? I know a man whose favorite trait in a woman is her ability to take care of herself, stand up for herself, and avoid being 'bullied'. If you are a strong independent woman, Naija men will frustrate you.

• One man will ask you what you are trying to prove by being an Electrical Engineer. He will advise you to consider other professions where 'girls are more comfortable'; "Just go and open a store, or get a job as a marketer and put your big yansh to good use".
• A man will 'cut' the queue at the bank, and scold you for 'talking to him like a boy' when you challenge him. And other men, and some women too, will scold you for being so disrespectful.
• A man will shake his head at you after you had to swerve past him because he was paying more attention to the girl in the passenger seat that he was feeling up, than the road; he will then go ahead to tag you the oh so derogatory term - 'Woman Driver'.
• One guy will summon you to help him make photocopies because 'Women are meant to pay more attention to these things'.
• A man will be given the position you have been working hard and long for, because 'he is a man'.
• 'That's why you are not married, you don't know how to talk to men. No man wants a woman that will be talking back at him'. Really? 

The list is endless as you can imagine. I'm tired.
