Candid Talk | | Notion That Men Are Scum x Giveaway

notion that men are scum

With the sudden increase in advocacy for feminism this year and the last, the statement ‘all men are scum’ has found a way to feature in almost every day conversation, stemming from the fact that females suddenly think the male ways are dishonest. I was bound to share my candid thoughts about the notion that men are scum. In fact, there is a website that documents scum experience submitted by females and the scum guys are rated on a scumometer. Some of the experience I found on Lists Ng told by ladies include:

One of my faves. Saw nudes on his phone. Asked him about it. IN FRONT OF ME he deletes all the pictures then says to me “what nudes where?”

Dropped me at home so he could take another girl clubbing. Went to the club to meet them and he acted like I didn’t exist

I met wet pant in the bathroom n he said he bought it for me but wanted to wash it first 😂, he must have washed it too hard it was FADING. 😭

The things girls have gone through with scums will surprise you. I was trying really hard not to laugh and yet feeling pity at the same time. Had my own share of experience with guys that are scum but they’re just lessons now. I could summarize this blog post into the fact that we are all scum but being a scientist, facts are to be backed up and among the reasons we are all scum include:

We all lie

Show me a person who claims he/she doesn’t lie and we’d have a good laugh off it. Lying isn’t restricted to one sex and so long as everyone’s prone to lying, it makes no sense to call men scum because they lie or are deceptive, as we all lie one way or another. Lying isn’t restricted to any age either and being a scum cuts across all ages as well.

We are all selfish

As humans, it is fairly normal for most people to think of themselves before others and in the process of this happening, the scum feature sets in. This also makes it possible for either member of both sexes to cheat members of the opposite sex. I mean even family member behave in a scum way to each other yet people don’t say family is scum.

We all play games

I follow quite a number of Instagram relationship accounts and advice columns that post real life situations sent in by anonymous people. Let us be candid, girls play games in relationships (even friendship) and so do guys like I shared in my harassment story. The ratio cannot be equated because when you hear the story of a guy who proposed to a girl just to get her to have sex, you’d hear the story of a girl who led on a guy and eventually got enough money from him to marry the guy she actually likes. It’s pathetic, this generation of ours in which honesty has become gold.

Before you join the men are scum campaign, you should keep it in mind that we behave in almost the same ways. With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that both men and women are scum. Thank you! *takes a bow*

  1. MEN ARE SCUM 😂😂😂😂😂 very very frequent sentence on twitter lol. well, I haven’t had a bad experience with guys dat will make me say they are scum but I’ve heard stories it’s just sad, d bad guys av made even d good ones bad too. God help us all in finding men dat aren’t scums.

  2. I have had bad experiences with guy but I will never agree that men are scum cos we all are. We have all done something pathetic at one point or the other in our life. So it’s a two way thing!

  3. Okay, first, I want the headphones so I can listen to my numerous rock songs. I am a diehard music lover. Second, music helps me read and exams are coming up so you get the gist. And I stay in Ibadan already so easier access to this cute headphones.

    And about men being scums…well, it is the danger of a single story. From a totally holistic perspective, all human beings are scums. Thank God for Jesus…

  4. Hehe. I want the headphones because we are married duh. Lol, no but really they would be nice since I don’t have one and more importantly, I have this friend that is a sound engineer that doesn’t have working headphones and his birthday recently passed and he lives in ib (which is one of the reasons I couldn’t get him new headphones myself in the first place) long story short, you could help me be a good friend. xx.

    And as you know, I don’t have enough experience to know whether or not anybody is scum. Lol.

  5. First off.. A scumometer?? LMAO.. Okay. Welp, it’s good that you have the grace to see things from the other side of the spectrum too. In as much as it’s a generalised notion that the male specie embodies scum, it is also noteworthy that the females have their own version of scum which is in no way less damaging as shenanigans from their male counterparts. So this is a breath of fresh air. Bless up!

    Yeahhh, I NEED the headphones as I just took up a course in music production. Making music has always been the passion so I recently switched careers, as foolish as that sounds, to favor music. So, here we are, the headphones would save me some cash I can use in getting other equipments needed. Again, bless up!

    1. Hello Victory, thank you for this reminder. The two Abuja winners yet to receive their prizes have been contacted and will get their items very very soon when logistics issue is resolved 🙂
