This ITK doesn't know anything about men.
Women are the only thing we talk about.

No comment... Wait I have a comment...

Think about your life for a few minutes...


Did you notice that it's nothing to write home about?

Justeenaleo:
Aunty should just stick to writing that she is very good at and stop making a fool of herself.

UjSizzle:
I love that she refused to allude growing popularity to Queen Bey. I mean, we knew Chimamanda of Purple Hibiscus and HOAYS already. We knew Chimamanda of the Tedtalk 'The dangers of a single story'. So why should the western world make assertions that Bey drove her into limelight when she didn't?

The best another celebrities can do for each other is to 'recommend' the other's work by using it to further enhance their own work. And that's what Beyoncé did. In a sense they did something good for each other's career.

So screw all these white supremacists trying to make our home girl feel like she was nothing before the Queen I feel your pain. And I'm glad you refused to tolerate it.
After all Taylor Swift refused to tolerate the Kanye factor taking credit for her success

Endy4all:


You got the definition of feminism wrong.

LoveMachine:
She is her father's daughter. Gbam. Respect.

goingape1:
what is the definition?

feminism started way back during the world war one and there aim was to participate in war.

now it is base on greedy purpose.

If you read the book you will understand her point that we all should be feminist.

goingape1:


I don't read book that make one gender look like a monster while trying to promote another gender.

Award-winning Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has expressed disappointment over news making the rounds that American singer, Beyoncé Knowles, made her popular.

One of Beyoncé’s single ‘Flawless’, purportedly sampled a speech and book-length essay: ‘We
Should All Be Feminists’, by Adichie and the news trended on the social media that the book aimed at giving a definition of feminism for the 21st century, achieved little or nothing until the singer emphasized it in her song.

But the writer said she was shocked at how many requests for an interview she received when that song was released, with the claim that the song threw her further into limelight.

In an interview with Dutch newspaper: de Volkskrant, Adichie said, “I think Beyoncé is lovely and I am convinced that she has nothing but the best intentions.

“In addition, Beyoncé is a celebrity of the first order and with this song she has reached many people who would otherwise probably never have heard the word feminism, let alone gone out and buy my essay, but I was shocked about how many requests for an interview I received when that song was released.

“Literally every major newspaper in the world wanted to speak with me about Beyoncé and how she gave me fame. I felt such resentment. I thought: are books really that unimportant to you?

“Another thing I hated was that I read everywhere: now people finally know her, thanks to Beyoncé, or: she must be very grateful. I found that disappointing.

“I thought: I am a writer, self made, and I have been for some time and I refuse to perform in this charade that is now apparently expected of me: ‘Thanks to Beyoncé, my life will never be the same again.’

“That’s why I didn’t speak about it much.

“Still, her type of feminism is not mine. As it is the kind that, at the same time, gives quite a lot of space to the necessity of men.

“I think men are lovely, but I don’t think that women should relate everything they do to men: did he hurt me, do I forgive him, did he put a ring on my finger? We women are so conditioned to relate everything to men.

“Put a group of women together and the conversation will eventually be about men. Put a group of men together and they will not talk about women at all, they will just talk about their own stuff.

“We women should spend about 20% of our time on men, because it’s fun, but otherwise we should also be talking about our own stuff,” she added.

Oildichotomy:
[size=13pt]I think Chimamanda got it wrong here though Why did she have to express disappointment if any? And she finally alluded to the fact she had lots of interview after the song hit the market. Isn't that contradictory already?

To be fair, I was proud of her when I heard the song and it is one of the few Beyonce songs I personally downloaded cos of the Chimamanda Factor
She would have kept quiet and let it slide cos hate it or love it Beyonce helped her career in no small measure and not the other way round.

And what is the talk about women though! Even the spelling of woman had MAN in it, what did she expect they talk about!

Feminism thrash! [/size]

krak101:
Don't know why yall are shouting here. Females resent themselves talk more of things or men around them. So yall expected her to give it up to Queen B on a platter of gold Verily verily I say unto you... The moment those feminists have their way they'll start a caste system among females quote me. Bunch of deluded pricks

oluyara:
only a man who doesn't have a sense of self value would make this comment.

Endy4all:


I'm an inegalitarian like you but people can have a different views of life like Chimamanda.

Geeweeny:
