Vickybee:


Really? He(They) insulted me first, so I should overlook them because they are men, right?.

I stated my opinion that i'm not scared of any man, rather they choose to descend on me instead of facing the topic. So, I should be scared of them or what? Men are equally not scared of any human likewise me. Any man that descends on me will get his own cup of bitter medicine.

On this thread so far, Chimamanda has both male and female supporters likewise El-nathan, so it's not related to feminism but "Madam and her boy". In school, if a Male or Female lecturer call me their girl, I won't get mad unlike someone i'm not related to. Chimamanda stated that anybody working in her workshop is equally her boy i.e she will still address her female worker anyhow. Whether she was condenscending or not is none of my business as she equally opined that he said it jokingly.

El-nathan could have sent her an E-mail stating his disastifaction instead of going to twitter ranting like a sissy. He used a cocoyam analogy for/on Adichie and she struck back.
I don't care about who's wrong.

Oh, please stop .

Jargon can be a count, uncountable or plural noun. The rule states that if you are using a determiner directly with an uncountable noun, your determiner must be in the singular since ordinarily you cannot count an uncountable noun.

Jargon can also be a countable noun. I explained this earlier and even gave an example.

DonDiego:
You keep saying Adichie's criticism of the Caine prize is petty and you are magisterial as to why: she is bitter because she failed to win it. And asked you without still receiving an answer: Is Caine prize winner Wainana also petty for criticizing the Caine Prize? And what do you say to those others beyond Adichie and Wainana who say the Caine prize is all about Africa Porn and nothing more? Are those critics also being petty?

Vickybee:
My big time role model.

One, out of many things that's synonymous with both of us is that we fear no man.

freecocoa:
They did insult you alright and that's not even really what my post to you is about, you started by hailing ms Adiche and saying you don't fear any man, you already made it about gender by using the term "man", acting like you are happy about the issue because it involves a man, this is basically what triggered the responses you got. I'm not saying you should be scared of men, it should be that you aren't scared of anyone, not only men.

Then you went further to write how your handbag is way better than them(men), that's totally uncalled for.

hifaif:
@DonDiego, you got me saying Tigritude instead of Negritude.

Vickybee:

I made that comment comparing what's synonymous with Chimamanda and I.


Airforce1's quote warranted it.

Vickybee:

Provide a link to proove it like you did to the former.!

freecocoa:
You may not admit it, but it's obvious what you did with that comment.

Then let your response be toAirforce1 not to men.

DonDiego:

My bad!!! All my fault.

Vickybee:

He asked, "Man break your heart" instead of "Did I break your heart".

Trust me, when I make some comments, I know that Nairaland men will troll with it. Phew!

hifaif:


You clearly have not understood me. Why would a writer think some works she has not seen are below those in her mailbox.

I can criticize the Caine Prize all I want but I shouldn't demean a work I have not even seen or a writer I have not even met because a Prize I don't like has shortlisted them. The Caine Prize doesn't have fixed judges so the stories are not always judged based on the taste of a set of judges all the time.

People have criticized the Prize but I am yet to see anyhow who took theirs this petty, demeaning works you have not seen or writers you don't even know.

meenagiggs:
El-Nathan John was my course mate in Uni. I dare say that given half the oppurtunity that Chimamanda was given, he is a far better writer than she could ever hope to be.
A woman with a big ego is all I see.
A woman who thinks she is the be all and end all of writers and therefore should be worshipped.
She should give it a rest.

pak:


This is why I hate nairaland. People are just evil. How did you know she got it through her back door, where you there? Where you there? Couldn't it have been any other place

hifaif:


Well, it was nice having this argument devoid of insults with you. Peace, bro.

The truth is we can only argue, we don't know the whole story.

pak:


You've now gone and outdone yourself. This is real class up here.
Did you study in Nigeria and which course you study? Literature, philosophy or psychology.

Abi na on top nairaland them teach you this kind brain!

Vickybee:

He asked, "Man break your heart" instead of "Did I break your heart".

VantagePoint:

Why don't you just keep quiet and bury your head in the sand?
"He (They) insulted me first".....just like my 3-year old niece would say..
On second thoughts after reading through your other posts, I am not surprised at the way you talk.
Stick your pseudo-feminism where the sun don't shine.

freecocoa:
Man na still singular na, anyways just try not to make it seem like it's all about feminism with your comments, this might be all about NL for you but
believe me, all these different opinions/ideas actually go beyond here and can make a difference, peace. .

Vickybee:

SMH

Your opinion.

freecocoa:
Y

hifaif:


Sorry, Vickybee. This is beginning to be too much, abi?

kinglekan:

Honestly I got carried away from the topic by your conversation. I deeply respect the way freecocoa expressed her points.

Vicky u sometimes come out too strong with your choice of words. A lot of people would take that as throwing shade on men. I guess that's why u tk a lotta hit here on NL.

Anywayz I quoted you both cos I really enjoyed ur convo.

Vickybee:

Actually, it's "all these".

Vickybee:

TheSonOfMark:


Really? Now let this son of Mark school you:
`Infamous' means ` being popular for a negative trait'.

'Ubiquity' means `being profoundly sighted everywhere'.

Corruption is an infamous ubiquity amongst Nigerians. Being silly and making unintelligent comments is an infamous ubiquity amongst Nairaland females.

You see? You ended up as the butt of your own snide remarks.

phoinix:


It's so unfortunate that you don't see what's wrong , that said I will rather put it this way "Nigeria is infamous for its ubiquity in corrupt practices. "

Vickybee:

Lol, the fact still remains that Nairaland men love bashing women without us retaliating.
When a woman cross her boundary, all guys would descend on her.

My problem isn't about guys outside the world but Nairaland guys, especially. I just felt/feel like giving them some raw misandry to see how it hurts.

TheSonOfMark:


I suppose I understand the rationale behind Vickybee's incessant rant all along - she craves attention. I noticed she's relatively new on this forum and her shenanigans have really been finetuned to achieve that. It reminds me of a certain Vikyyb (noticed the similarities in name and attitude?) who was all over the place throwing tantrums months back. I WAS HER PERSONAL NEMESIS - I MADE HER CRAWL BACK INTO HER SHELL.

Funny how TINY GIRLS hide behind the cover of the internet, gain Dutch courage and falsely assume they can take on men. BRING IT ON LITTLE MISS!

freecocoa:
Seems what most of you seeing nothing wrong with how Chimamanda addressed John, are saying is, is that, it's okay to be condescending because someone wants something from you.

So because John expects her to help him, he should shred whatever pride he has and take whatever is thrown at him happily? While this is how it usually works, does that make it okay?

Yet feminism is all about equality? I'm learning a lot.

Vickybee:

My nemesis, you say? Actually, i am the same as "Vickyyb" but the account has been deactivated and you weren't a threat to me. No guy on this earth can ever be.

You were just an inconsequential tiny sadomasochist seeking for an attention of female Nairalanders.

You are beneath my class and don't expect me to start spewing drivels with a dolt like you, little monsieur.

crackhaus:

Cool off Vicky.
