Stop trying to be clever by half.
it's common knowledge that cases of physical attack by a perpetrator is treated differently depending on the gender.

was watching a documentary recently (US). A guy reported a case of physical attack by his wife. The police got there and told him he's alright and "you better get out of there fast coz once there's as little as a scratch on that woman ( probably even in the case of struggling), we are arresting you". Imagine!!

There are also many other cases like this i.e downplaying attacks by women and aggressive clamp down in Men when they are the perpetrators.

cases of custody, child support, abortion,pay gap etc are another thing.

It's you who is trying to be clever by half. You watched a documentary? Oh, wow! And it confirmed your bias! Congratulations!
I live in Europe and I only hear this sh.it on NL. Oh, the irony.

I wonder.


People just do stuff without checking the origins

Do people actually know the origins of changing surnames, or the culture it originated from


Though I did not like how Adiche handled the issue of wife and all (comparing her husband's page with her own)
I still think that a lot of men running their mouth do so out of insecurity.


Joke Silva and Olu Jacobs have been married for donkey years, has their marriage collapsed?

what of Wendy Williams?

or Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker?

People hyperventilating over frivolous things

But you don't have to like the way two adults converse, I mean - she clearly asked questions important to her, how's that anybody's problem?

Leitner:


Just stop abeg, you're not making any sense .

Do people call Hillary, wife Clinton coz wife's on her twitter bio?. Your analogy is flawed.

And back to the main point. Hillary has decided to put wife on her Bio because ::

1) Hillary's ACTUALLY a wife- married to Bill . So case 1: it's not like she's lying about who she's not. She has not called her self Superman

2) A wife has a duty in a family setting, just like a husband, child, Aunt etc also have.
Hillary has felt she has perform her duty really well ( whether it's washing plate, telling your husband to cook,giving your husband good advice or whatever) and she feels she should flaunt her accomplishments ALONG WITH OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS which she has in other areas of her life. Case 2 :: Hillary's DECIDED to flaunt her ACCOMPLISHMENTS.


Now what Adichie is trying to do and also one of the things which most FEMINISTS have been trying to do is UNDERMINE THE INSTITUTION CALLED MARRIAGE. She's trying to say Hillary can flaunt her achievements in other fields but can't flaunt her achievement in marriage, all coz she's a WOMAN. To me, Adichie is a misogynist trying to force an individual to decide what she deems fit to flaunt or not . If she feels she's had a hand in making who Bill Clinton was, then she should be allowed to flaunt it!! Adichie lacks critical reasoning.

You nailed it!! Absolutely spot on

Lol. I'm a hundred percent sure she only came up with this trash because of the backlash. If this was truly the reason why she asked Hillary that question, she would have phrased it in a better way.

That aside, why try to create dispute in someone's marriage? Well, I just can't wrap my head around feminism.

Apart from your (obvious) intelligence and physical attributes, do you know another reason I admire you?

Aww. I don't know, tell me.

Why get upset over someone's else's decision or should you, Adichie, be making decisions for people all in the name of being a feminist?

Mariinee:
Aww. I don't know, tell me.
