For those asking why she didn't jump up and slap him or why she didn't shout 'NO' Have you ever heard of the word 'shock'? How about the word 'daze'? Some people are more spontaneous in responding to actions more than others. Because for some, the brain processes the action and they have a quicker reflex than others. Stop shaming people who have been sexually harassed and are telling their stories. It takes a lot if courage to do that. And mind you, sexual harassment can happen to virtually anyone. 1 Like |

Elouise:Are you nuts? What is wrong with asking him why he dislike a figure that a lot of relevant people like? It is an academic exercise. I didn't tell him to stop disliking her. So what is your problem? My like or his dislike has no real impact on Chimamanda . |

Nigerian men should stop acting like dinosaurs. Raping, grabbing and generally sexually harassing behavior is grotesque and criminal . That foolish man whoever he is would be locked up if this had happened in a civilized society Those saying it was her fault are akin to those blaming the victims of the murderous Fulani herdsmen. All nah caveman mentality. And I am a Nigerian man 1 Like |

Chi59: Read her story again. She may have been surprised, but she was certainly not in shock or in a daze. She had enough presence of mind to 'gently and nicely' remove his hand from her bosom, and continue asking him for help with her book. What does that tell you? |

We all know Nigeria is a bloody cursed country crawling with pedophiles so I am not the least surprised. It is considered "normal" in that sick country to sexually defile or harass girls and women. 1 Like |

Now I've lost all respect for Chimamanda....she's just another hoe trying to bring men down. This is all women do in the West, especially in the US and Canada. The best thing for a sane man is to go MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way). These Jezebels are not just worth it anymore! The fourth-wave feminism is gradually destroying the West, and I hope it doesn't spread to Africa. F.uck these women! 3 Likes |

CSTR1003:your last sentence though, what made you feel men in awe of her are in any way better than the guy you mentioned? if he doesn't dig the lady does that mean shit? I really don't know what the fuss is all about this woman to start with, she is a good writer to some extent and it doesn't exceed that, you people really need to start seeing peeps like this as humans like you with just a distinctive talent and nothing more. 1 Like |

MrBrownJay1:I admire your patience and of course your level of intelligence,explaining the same thing all over via different context and examples is a luxury I can't afford, the lady prolly nailed herself its as simple as that,who goes into shock as a response to a sexual abuse? this ain't a physical abuse that's supposed to trigger extreme shock,I bet she didn't edit her story before making it public,cuz for starters her shirt and bra must have been extremely loose to correlate with her story,and if that's the case then it can be termed as suggestive,the man is a perv no doubt but the lady was all shades of wrong, say the man went for the boobs at a speed of light and she fell into a trance or whatever she called it,regained consciousness some minutes later,her corresponding action after that should portray a displeasure to the act,a violent shove,a scream,vulgar words anything odd,not "politely/gently pushing his hands away" just because she doesn't want the man getting mad,okay fine she was vulnerable then,in need of the mans help so what about now? the man stayed anonymous,we didn't even get to know if he did help or not, so what's the entire motive of her story? @ this rate every lady will have a sexual abuse case to yap about on the media in coming years,with nothing concrete to serve as an evidence backing up their claims. 1 Like |

[sup][/sup]no amicable09:You don't know what you are saying. This is a video of chimamanda in France calling out the French govt on their policies in francophone Africa. And that was after she disgraced a racist white journalist asking if they were libraries in Nigeria. A French government minister in the meeting had to walk out in annoyance . She is worth her salt. She is worth the hype. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uMm415xDKY None of your leaders from the President to the lowest member in govt have the boldness or intelligence to do this. |

CSTR1003: Must everybody like her? Or has she now become a standard by which men's tastes should be judged? God gave all men freedom of choice, biko. We cannot all like the same things.....or the same kind of people! Adichie is not infallible or perfect. She is simply human. If she says things we agree with, then we applaud her. If she says things we do not agree with, then we also have the right to point it out. |

CSTR1003: I do not dislike her. I may not agree with some of her views, but I admire her books. My post was made in response to the reply you gave to streetzdreamz and prince3009. Free them, biko. We cannot all have the same likes and dislikes, when it comes to a person, place or thing. We might like something today, and develop a dislike for it tomorrow, based on some inexplicable reason.....people are wired differently. Tastes change, and so do human feelings. |

laudate:Okay. You are right. I just have issues with their reasons sometimes. Many of them claim she is a western puppet trying to please the west. Seriously? How can anybody who have watched that video claim she is a western puppet. ? What is more western than France? She not only lambasted the French people for ignorance, she also lambasted the French govt for their current colonialism that the govt minister had to walk out. In fact, I won't be surprised if she has being blacklisted from France. Though I doubt it. |
Re: Chimamanda Adichie: I Was Sexually Harassed By Media Man Who Squeezed My Breast by amicable09(f): 2:05pm On Apr 21, 2018 |
CSTR1003:Okay, first off, I think you shared the wrong video with me because I took my time to watch it and even watch other suggested videos on YouTube but didn't find anything that looked like what you mentioned instead it was an interview where she was asked if Nigerians read her books which isn't new because there's this surprise that whites show when they hear Nigerians read. I have all her books and have read them all. I like her but my grouse is with the way she joins certain conversations and try to make it about her. She's good at what she does but she's trying to turn it into getting more acceptance and selling more books which in my opinion is beneath her. She's rated way more to me. Whatever it is, she's still an intelligent woman which I admire and I'm looking forward to her next publication. |

raumdeuter: You fail to understand the power dynamics at play in this scenario: a powerful, highly respected authority figure who is in a position to influence your life for good or bad can have such an effect on another human as narrated by Chimamanda. The effect of a power imbalance is hypnotic. It's like a spell. Power can cast a spell on her/his victim's thinking and response and exploit them sexually etc. Examples of such power imbalance are: authority figures and the people that depend on them for survival or some favours , parents/guardians/trusted older relatives and the kids under their care, leaders in positions of authority/ political leaders and the people they govern, industry leaders (like Weinstein in Hollywood) and the people under them in that industry , employers and employees, spiritual leaders/pastors/imams and their followers etc. These people have such hypnotic powers over the people under their circle of influence. We should all condemn such abuse of power wherever we see it. I believe it's what Chimamanda is using her platform to do here. |
