This lady just keep insulting her husband with this cause she is championing.I guess she is oblivious to the fact that true feminists oppose the institution of marriage because they see it as a way of keeping a woman in a bondage.Marriage to them underpins patriarchy they frown at.The fact that she is happily married to a man alone belies the feminism cause she is espousing.
Staying abroad has made her lose touch with what is obtainable here in Africa and has also given her the leeway to advocate this her cause.Maybe she trying to appeal to the westerners because as far as I am concerned I doubt if feminism can gain a foothold in Africa here.It totally runs foul of our cultures and traditions.

wow
I love Chimaamanda!
I love Chimaamanda!!
I love Chimaamanda!!!

My love for her is like copied assignments, I just can't explain 'em.
This lady is always making sense, but the typical Nairalander is blinded by culture.
Attack her and she keeps going viral.
Keep on hating and she keeps gracing the fp.

Have you ever asked yourself who made those culture you live to fulfill?
Did they fall from the sky?
Can't they be amended?

Feminism is simply, EQUALITY OF THE BOTH SEXES! I'm a guy and I support it 100%. Don't cheat me and I'd never cheat you.
It's as simple as that. No one chose which sexes they were born with, so why should one be superior?

If you're quoting me, please make some sense. That's all I have to say!

Let's not go too far, pls spot where a woman contributed in these numbered aspects.

1. The pc/phone you are using to type these (hardware)

2. The computer software (Windows/Android)

*Although a woman wrote a computer program language.

3. The electric Cables connected from the power station to your house.

4.The restoration of power in case of power failure.

Before we even got here today men are the ones that have protected and kept the human race to this day. Who went out to hunt for animals and source for food during the cavemen Era, who invented the weapons to make hunting easier.
You may say women are responsible for multiplying the human race, what good is a womans womb if there is no man?
And what good is a baby if there is no one that can protect and provide for that baby?
You think a woman can do that?

You should understand what the word "superior" means before you make use of it.

Hcqmela:
N what use is the man's penis if the woman's womb is not there? That was why God created Eve for Adam as the lesser creatures which he Adam named had female counterparts n Adam the superior creature had none thus leading to Adam's loniness. U see both sexes works hand in hand in a collaborative way so that the work load each sexes were designed to do will be lesser n the woman came in cos the man needs companionship.

Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was a guest on BBC pidgin recently, and she pointed out what feminism means to her.

Her main point, according to her, she wants people to start talking about how men and women are equal, and how women would not be deprived of things. 

See some of her points and watch the video below....

1. Men and women are equal, simple
2. Women to inherit properties
3. Nigerian women to have the right to give their foreign husband's Nigerian citizenship
4. Men to help their wives with domestic chores

and women should be paying children school fees also, pay bills and many thing husband is doing.

ajl:


Why does equality not fit your culture? So it's okay if a widow is not allowed to inherit her husband's properties even though it's likely they both worked hard for it. I also have issue with her feminism thing generally but all the points she stated in that pidgin interview are things that need to be resolved.

I think her view on feminism is shaped by her Igbo culture where women are not allowed to inherit husband properties... she has a point. But the mistake she made was joining forces with empty headed feminist in Western world. Aside from equal pay, those ones no get anything to say. I think she need to put things in context when she talk about feminism. She should be talking about equal rights. But are Nija women ready to do 50/50 for family expense. My madam only wan give 25% of her pay while she expect me as the husband to spend 100% of my pay on the family.

DopeAngel:
This woman go and die abeg. We have a more bigger problem to face sending the dullard back to daura. No come use your reggae spoil our blues.

Go die with your stupid feminism.

okeyfineboy:



And who told you women don't do more than that? Some women carry all the expenses in the family from paying children sch fee to house rent, feeding and other things. I feel men who have issues with equality have low self esteem.

All of you saying both sexes are not equal, are you trying to say you're greater than Chimamanda because you're a man?

Some of you are even trying to compare strength as a reason a man is greater, wasn't it on this platform that the news of a wife beating her husband was put on front page? Are you saying the wife in this case is greater because she has more strength?

Men and women are equal but in the family setting, a man is the head, the women is the neck, a man needs his wife and vice versa.

dasparrow:


They already are but in Nigeria they are told not to tell anyone so that they don't hurt their husband's fragile ego. My older sister is married to some Nigerian loser who has no job. She is single handedly carrying all the financial burdens of her family. Stop making it look like all Nigerian married men are providers because many are not. Many are liabilities!

Paulosky1900:



[s]shut up!
you are a gay not a guy, sensible ladies rejects it so stop consoling yourself.[/s]

spikemmy:


i hope when you are married and give birth to both boys and girls and they attain the age of 15 you will ask the girl child to wash the cars, fetch water, weed the grasses, do all the hard jobs that we feel are meant for guys...
when you beat both of them for wrongs, i hope you will allow the male child cry and not shut him that he is a man and doesnt have to cry.
i hope your husband gives equal amount of pocket money given to the girl child to the boy
and finally, you have to share the responsibilities equally with your husband ranging from rents, bills, school fees, shopping bills etc
if you are not here to monitor all these then your feminism claim is false

YOUR USELESS CULTURE IS THE REASON FOR YOUR BACKWARDNESS

Shelumiel:
You just mentioned the evils of culture but you failed to mention the good parts of it, why ? Is it not in culture you find greetings and respect ? But what has feminism from the west achieved for us here ...are things like lesbianism not products of feminism ? Please before talking, think .

amyzon:


Funny how you make it sound cos I was raised that way. My father May his sweet soul rest in peace raised us to work together in every thing. The only time you don't work in my house is when you are at school and not because you are a boy or girl
If he is doing plumbers work , I'm doing it with him
If he is doing mechanical work, I'm doing it with him
If theirs work at the factory , then we are all not done for the day.
It doesn't matter how hard, dirty and clean the work is


We use to complain then, but after I left my house and experience other people, I realised how lucky iam

spikemmy:

your case is different... you are so lucky.. This is not the case for many families.. 1 in every 100.. Someone like you has been groomed to think and act independently but many others out there aint

Simplep:
Tell all dis nairaland Ladies dat thought feminism is abt attacking and controling the male folks
jst like below

HungerBAD:


Funny lady.

Simplep:
Morning sir

HungerBAD:


Good morning Madam.

How was your night?

texazzpete:


My brother, if you think lesbianism is a product of feminism, I am extremely sorry for you and the stunted education you have received.

You see those ‘evil parts’ you talk about? Feminism fights to eradicate that.
Fighting to allow females to vote. Fighting to allow females inherit. Fighting to ensure the rights of widows are not trampled on. Fighting to allow women bail out suspects in jail.

But you lazy cowards will never see this. For you, it all boils down to who makes the Egusi soup, who kneels down for you and who submits herself to be a punching bag.

Simplep:
Fine,urs?
