Chimamanda is just a bitter soul for no good reason..And already, she is inflicting others with her bitterness

Chimamanda's bitterness is only 5mCC
(pronounced 5 milliCeeCs).

BanevsJoker:

I agree with you. She is. She is so depressed, if she was Caucasian, she would have committed suicide a long time ago. Her attitude has gone beyond feminism, she is a very bitter human being.

Did you remember what Hilary's campaign was all about? Adiche was only calling her out on her hypocrisy.

What she was pointing out was that her own husband's bio didn't start with husband.Isn't he a husband? She only pointed something out intelligently and Hilary has done what she thought was best so just stop being so bitter

Mikora:

It wasn't a CV my dear, it was a social media bio anyone is free to describe themselves anyhow they so please on their bio. Hilary Clinton's bio also included other descriptions like former presidential aspirant,hair expert,Flotus e.t.c why would chimamanda leave all the other descriptions and pick offence with 'wife' and 'mother' on someone else's twitter bio? What's wrong in Clinton describing herself as a good wife and a good mother? Is feminism now against women being good wives and good mothers and being proud of it? Chimamanda was just being foolish. I know that academic excellence has not always equated to being wise and this is just a perfect example. Chimamanda hasn't done up to half of what Clinton has done to advocate for equal rights for women and yet she thinks she can attack her for being proud of her role as a wife to her husband and mother to her daughter. Chimamanda is a big fool, an intelligent one but a fool nonetheless

we nor dey ever face front/mind our own biz in dis country

.

I v nothing to say

Jaynom:

I didn't see this. Your post sums it up. I am a strong supporter of Gender equality. However, women can not be Men. Chimamanda subconsciously believes a woman can "be and should be treated like a man", and this is impossible!!

Where did she say this?

NwaAmaikpe:


Hillary Clinton is a fool if she'd let herself to be brainwashed by Chimamanda Adichie who has successfully brainwashed all the single bitter females in Nigeria into thinking they are feminists.

mumu troll... stfu

She still hasn't changed it na

And wats wrong declaring yourself as a wife ! Abeg people should choose wat they want for demselves

Yet another cretinuous example of 4th wave feminism. Same way they want the world to believe that gender pay gap exist. Same way they've deprived working class women from Formula 1 and the Darts' Championship.

What is wrong with describing oneself as a wife?

midolian:


Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie

Wicked

I love Chimamanda with her whole advocacy thing for feminism... Buh seriously what's wrong with Clinton describing herself as being a wife nd a mother

Jeezuzpick:

What is wrong with been bitter about the male chauvinism in the world? What is wrong with been bitter about a mindset, an ideology, a system that antagonise healthy living?

She's no fool bro.
It's bad for business to argue with Adichie.

Abeg is ngozi no more a nigerian abi y is american political scene are cup of tea. All still na kiss after white man ass

I dont and will never ever be an advocate of gender equality, as for me, it's gender fairness.
We are not equal in anyway, we are distinct and should be proud of whatever makes us unique in our own ways.
My wife must always be proud to be my wife and must display that pride for the world to see, if you dont like it, take sniper, lagoon, dangote truck or any other of your choice.
My household is not a breeding ground for crazy competition. we all know our roles.

Well during the campaigns Hillary did not add wife to her bio hence Adichies questioning her hypocrisy.

Fashblonder:

Done What?

Hilary's BIO showed her God given wisdom as a woman. So you wouldn't think she was all about ambition, politics and all.... Showed her genuineness.

Now Chidinma is bringing out the politician in Hilary and unfortunately, making it erode the humane part of her (Hilary)....Just to please her (Chidinma's) feminist self.

ladiesreject:
The only thing I don't like about nairaland is that you don't get to see or know those who liked or shared your posts

Makes the likes genuine...or don't you think?

When will people learn to mind their business.

A lot of crazy stuff these days all in the name of social media.

Why will another person determines someone else's priority.

Thank God Hillary Clinton didn’t become US president, I never knew she could be easily made to Change her mind.

Esseite:
Seriously... that wife thing is lame, imagine putting husband on your cv..

It makes it seem like an entitlement and a pedestal, i think mother and grandmother encompasses it all.

It was a social media bio page...not on her CV.

We are making a mountain out of a molehill.

See Obama's Instagram bio below.

What is there not to be proud of in being a Wife, Mother and Grandmother along with her other accomplishments?

Interesting

I understand the point of view of feminists but it's feminazis I don't understand

Anyways I see nothing wrong in her question to Mrs Clinton

Let's all be mature

She pointed out Hillary's hypocrisy because during the elections and when she was looking for votes Hillary did not add wife to her bio.

You nailed it. She is

do your research, gender pay gap do exist

It does not exist.

Maybe in less developed societies like India and Nigeria, but in developed nations, it's a crime to pay a an individual less than the market's rate due to gender.

- Ladies generally earn more than men during the early stages of employment. But as they progress, get pregnant and become mothers, the males have progressed at a rapid pace. When these women come back, they have a lot of catching up to do.

- If the gender pay existed, companies will employ only or majorly females as it will cut costs - since they earn less. However, businesses don't.

- There are less females opting for fields where individuals are paid more; IT, Business management, Advanced engineering etc. There are more males in a typical Computer Science/Physics class than females, these grads are needed in these fields (where they pay very well) and as a result earn more than females. Yet again, if businesses were to discriminate against women, they will employ them to cut costs. But then, do these kind of businesses see them? Yes, but very few. Resulting in more men earning than women in the same sector (remember more men than women). The field where women come close and are more than (according to a study) is the medical sector.

- How come we're not seeing similar agitation for equal pay in fields like truck driving, fire service, nursing, teaching, daycare, fork lifters etc? What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

- Men due to nature and evolutionary development are built for excessive competition, and this result in them striving to earn more and work longer hours (this also result in earning more by being promoted quickly above others; women work less hours than men). Women also will not want to date men they earn more than (probably by a wide margin) (this is nature, however, things might be changing; but slowly). The average bartender cannot date a lady working in a bank (they might even date, but she won't desire to marry him). As a result, we see more men entering fields where they pay more and don't mind working longer hours to achieve this compared to women. Remember, men don't procreate. So motherhood doesn't come into their way.

Trust me, should teaching as a field start paying practitioners more than oil workers, more men will flock to teaching and we'll begin to see agitations for equal pay for both genders in teaching (even though to Marxists, there are 88 genders grin). Good news is: Market forces determine industry pay not emotions. The problem is: We've the third wave/generation feminists asking for what is illogical and making arguments that don't hold water talk more air.
