Dear Men

Dear men,
Scratch that.
Dear society,
you know; never mind.
I keep saying I want to have just boys because I want to teach them that being a guy isn't so much of a big deal,we all got blood running through our veins.
When I listen to some guys speak it gets me annoyed,confused and a whole rush of different emotions I can't put into words.

A woman speaks up for herself and she is labeled aggressive.
A woman tells you this is what she can put up with and y'all say she got an attitude that would lead her no where.
 Well, I don't want to go no where with you and that mentality.
When a guy does any of this some how the word personality appears in the dictionary and everyone goes on and on saying thats just his personality,"Its a masculine thing".
Well, you are damn right it's a feminine thing that i won't put up with any thing you believe a woman should put up with simply because she is a woman and if it takes me being aggressive for you to get my message; then aggressive I will be.



About cooking, I come from a family where everyone literally knows how to cook.
My dad cooks,my elder brother cooks so when I meet a guy who doesn't know how to cook it's a strange feeling I'm new to and won't ever get used to.
Good,you don't know how to cook I won't ever get used to that but I won't judge you.
So are you cool with me not cooking and he says uum you should know how to cook so you could teach your children and you won't starve your husband.
I'm just wondering; why do I have to learn how to cook so I could teach my children.Before the children come, I'm here so I should learn how to cook so I would survive.Everyone should know the basics of cooking so they can survive irrespective of gender.
So as long as the expectations are properly set that we are going to share this then I will do it because I'm better at it not because you have some unrealistic expectations that I should do it because I'm a woman.

Do I think the sole responsibilities of cooking should be on the woman;No
but do I believe women should learn how to cook;Yes
You don't have the right to say I can't be with a woman who can't cook if you don't as much as know the basis of survival.

And yoo,men just stop it; I don't like cooking and I don't know how to cook are two different sentences with obviously different meanings.
One can survive,one will assume responsibilities when called for and if need be, the other person can't.

With that being written
I'm Emediong and this is Dimensionsofgold.

On Being A Feminist

The other day I was privileged to attend an event, it wasn't necessarily a church program but it centered around Christianity and women. So of course the guest speakers would be women but one was particularly very interesting. This lady  went on and on about how Christian women should act, which I agreed for the most part and learnt new  things. However, she took me aback with a particular statement she made "you can't be a Christian and a feminist". She went ahead to attempt to back up her claim by saying "feminism is a cult group". At this point the only thing I could utter was Hmmm, wahala dey o. I immediately had to google the meaning of feminism and right after I searched for misandry. I know there has been a lot of attack on people who identify as a feminists but this was the first time I heard "...you can't be both a Christian and a feminist". I had a lot of questions as you might have guessed. I honestly just wanted to understand where

My Identity Crisis

  Oh, hello This is uum kind of awkward. You would think after doing this for so many years, I would be so courageous and confident to stand before a crowd. It's almost like every event I'm invited for,is a chance to stand on the stage again for the very first time.  Somehow I believe that's the beauty of it all, the nervousness, excitement, the adrenaline spike that rushes through my body helping me prepare so I don't get so comfortable in my God-given abilities and slip up. Well, as some of you may know My name is Emediong Francis Udoudoh and I wear many hats but for this event, I choose to wear my green public speaking hat. Can I have a seat please? I hope that's fine yea, okay I think I would be more comfortable if I assume the friendly kind of vibe position. Thank you very much. So, as I was saying my self and my green hat we want to talk you today about identity. As many of you may know, I am the founder of Dimensionsofgold conglomerate but what you don't
