its only a matter of time. first it was toke makinwa, now it will be the turn of adichie. these women who go about challenging natural order will soon find themselves at the receiving end of it all

If people didn't challenge "natural" order, you will still be in the jungle competing with monkeys
for banana instead of holding a phone to type this gibberish.

African are dumb especially Nigerian

kennygee:
Many people don't even understand what feminism is. They just jump on a bandwagon and give themselves labels they don't understand.

Even African american women didn't embrace feminism in it's raw state and settled for African Womanism cause they know that they cannot drag rights with the men.

Most "feminists" need to educate themselves, especially in Nigeria.

Read.

How has the respectful African-American women fared since they reject feminism?
Look at the success of being an humble men worshippers brought them, multiple
father baby mama business.
They are in short the worst of worst in every social economic indices.
How can the whites who embraced feminism have mores stable family life than those
wise Black-American women?

I will marry and I will have a daughter someday whom to her best interests should learn how to stand on her own, pick up her bills and pay her house rents. I wouldn't like to have a daughter whom will ride on her husband wealth. There will never be a day she will come back home complaining to me of how her husband can not meet up with his responsibilities cos I trained my daughter not to depend on men but to have equal rights as with men.

Chimamanda Adichie is the future.

Better don't kill yourself Mr. Fredrick, Chimamanda is clearly focused on her goals,
it is you had to rant to defend an indefensible position.

Foodforthought:
Even if they attain equality or even dominance over guys what will they do with it? Take men off the charts, off the top drawer , off the labour market, off the position of authority and replace with women.What does it do for us? Will it improve global economy, will it reduce crime rate, terrorism, hatred, racism, tribalism, extremism, health challenges? Will it make our world a better place? I doubt. And if it won't do these things then it is misplaced priority on a global scale. The end goal benefits just the woman. That's selfish
Men have become the power brokers of the society because of what they've achieved over historical times. Where were the women when men were building the empires of the world, discovering nations, setting standards, birthing and liberating nations through wars, giving their lives for the cause? If men are at the top today then it's because they've worked for it. What have women offered in response? And here they are trying to replace men!
Go check the world's tip billionaires, 100 richest persons they are mostly men. These men have worked for it. Women who should be challenging them are winning beauty pageants, becoming models, posting nudes online, while guys be hustling. Look at cyber fraudsters, majority of Naija musicians, comedians, they are all hustlers building for themselves while their girlfriends sit back and eat shawarma, ice cream and chips. Guys are going into the studios to record songs, write lyrics,women only dance to the music produced. When the guy becomes a millionaire, the dancer of a girl is still broke
They are jealous of men. They want to become men without working for it. If you want men to accept you into the top ladder you should have something to offer but no, most of what they have is nudity. It is only in easy stuff that they want to be equal...go and fight boko haram, no, work as labourers, no, hustle for urself , no.Come and become truly equal, no.
Then you see the leeches on nairaland who depend on men for survival bragging about equality.On social media, that is where they brag.
Y'all not ready yet

BadBradley:
Unfortunately, anti-slavery is never about freedom of choice for slaves but a call for usurpation, rebel and "taking what has been denied them".

It's been a trademark scheme of abolitionist to shame contented slaves, and slaves who elected to be chief whips.

People like John Brown are vengeful abolitionists who have a long agenda to change the world where whites[/b]and [b]blacks are rivals , never complementing each other .

Judge yourself, who do you sound like?

It is no wonder

So Feminism is a blessing? Aren't there black pole who just have kids they can take care of. The Obamas must be whites. There are also white people who have baby daddy issues, those who don't are abortion regulars so that doesn't count.

donstan18:
Why should I be bothered over this when I know that feminism won't and can never exist in Nigeria.

It's allowed to exist on social media, but not in reality in my country.

Why did she use social media means to seek Hillary Clinton's attention? , she should have traveled to USA to question her facially.

/she dosnt need to travel to USA,she lives in d states

Doctormarrvin:
Ask her to clarify what? How can you read such a intelligent write-up and still be acting daft and dim witted? My problem is not with feminism o. What is chimamanda's business? Let her go and challenge Obama too now. She married Bill Clinton out of Love! So why can't she let the world know she's his wife and the mother of his kids? The number of men defending adichie is more than the number of women but I'm not shocked. Feminism is all about choices. Why should Hillary clarify anything for adichie? You guys on nl are beginning to paint feminists as dim witted individuals. If a lady finds happiness in being a career woman,her choice! If she finds happiness in being a house wife,her choice. You don't go about telling people to clarify any aspect of their personal life for you. Be a strong independent woman yes! Does it include cutting people off because you're strong? Tackling a woman's personal relationship is not being a strong independent woman. Hillary agreed with adichie simply because she didn't want to offend the thousands of feminists that voted for her.

In Nigeria women (and men) are pressured into marriage. And once they get married, they are pressured to push out babies asap. Some people are even too narrow-minded to understand that a person will want to choose a different lifestyle. Why does anyone think that marriage defines who you are? Mrs Adichie is right! She is coming from the perspective of a Nigerian woman. Having the Mrs title is a do or die affair for many because people will not give such wo/men rest until they get married and they will feel a constant pressure to justify their lifestyle. This is ridiculous. Even pedophiles and murderes get married, prostitutes and psychos, does it upgrade or define who they really are? There are too many dysfunctional homes, some people are better off single or in open relationships, others prefer polygamy. We can't all be the same. Don't pressure people to do what they may regret later and let people leave the legacy they want to. You got married and had children? Hope you are happy, but it does not define who you are and certainly there is nothing special about it.

Mindfulness:
Feminism does not seek to replace men or to disempower them but yes women rights go hand in hand with a better economy, a decline in the poverty rate, less crime and less bigotry. Women have not been granted the same opportunities in the past so very few women could build empires (if this is anything to brag about because imperialism oppressed peoples for ages) and you are right in that women tend to participate in beauty pageants and modeling etc. It is part of the socialization that feminism seeks to alter in that it wants women to have more choices. Traditionally, women were asked to look pretty, get married and look after their homes so what you have described here is the result of such traditions. Nothing wrong with women in the beauty industry but why does it have to be the norm? And why are people, men and women, judged on the basis on their marital status? How does it define anyone? Just because you settled down, does not make you a better person. At times it makes you even more miserable. You can celebrate your marriage but do not think it makes you better or happier, even i*diots and murderers get married. And that is the crux of the matter, why would you use your marital status to describe yourself? What is so special about it? It is more special to live your life the way you want it even if it goes against anyone's expectations. This, requires strength. Anyone can conform, not everyone can rebel and lead.

Who is questioning Adichie for remaining a Miss after marriage? Who is questioning her for becoming educated and successful? Who is questioning her choices? Nobody. Who has gone to beat up Genevieve because she refused to marry? Nobody.
My problem here is why are feminists questioning other people on their choice? What is Adichie's business with other women keeping the wife tag. ? Is that how to pursue your own interests, by ridiculing other people's interests.? Is that how women will attain emancipation, hating men?
This thing they call opinion, a lot of people take advantage of it because they have an audience. It's good to have an opinion, but wrong to force it on people. Just deliver ur message and hope people get it! She's crossing her limits by questioning other people's choices. At best, Adichie is a writer with an opinion, nothing more. She isn't necessarily women's spokesperson..
It's called live and let live

This is the time for Nigerians to start writing gibberish. CHIMAMANDA spoke to an enlighten audience, now Nigerians in their usual self are abusing and spewing thrash as usual. A former us presidential aspirant didn't find fault but some unknown alpha man. Typical Nigerian ego centric maniac tries to fault her assertion. Her feminism is not for you Nwabufo neither is it for all Nigerian men who had failed to uplift women. Her opinion is hers and not yours..if you fail to grasp her intellectual point, please stay quite..sometimes some things people in higher realm understand will never make any meaning to you.

But seriously Americans and Brits haven't argued her point about feminism but only almighty smart Nigerian men including freeze has been spewing rubbish all over the internet. #isupportwomen #blackwoman #strongrock #blackisbeautiful #feminism

They didn't argue because they knew she was talking trash and they don't respond to trash. U see all these feminism stuff, e go soon do una something. Make una de follow am.

Some Nigerians are taking this issue so personal.
I checked Clinton's bio yesterday and I noticed there was no 'wife ' anymore. It's apparent she understood what adichie was trying to point out and a lot of them do.
Trust Nigerians to look for the slightest opportunity to vent their frustration.

Social economic issues are not measured by single good or bad examples but by representative statistics.
Another point to note that black are far more religious than their white counterpart, yet they have
a higher divorce rate than whites, many don't even belief in marriage.

Now ask yourself, why feminist hating black women can't hold their marriage together?

When backward misogynistic men from a shitthole starts telling you what is best for Women, then you know their hocus pocus is not in women's best interest.

Now they are threatening the poor woman with hell fire

I will have a daughter someday, and by the Grace of God she will not grow up in this Nigerian environment filled with bigoted men that are not smart enough to develop their country but somehow seem to know what is good for women .

Your father is a failure as big as Nigeria. Why did your father not fix Nigeria when those that fixed Europe fixed it ? Even the Chinese are no longer lamenting they shut up n fixed their country but what will rettards like you do daily on NL ?

Wail ! Wail n wail some more every other days like millions of your failed dead brained tribesmen. People went to war, some spent a lifetime in jail just to make their country work. I am yet to see any that wailed their country from a third world country to a first.

How some of you lame n pathetic Igbos, male n female think that is the solution is appalling. Get you lazy ass up n start working instead of wailing day n night motherfucker.

Please understand where Chimamanda is coming from before you defend her. She is illuminati. If in doubt ask Beyonce.

Don't say things you have no factual backing of same applies to @foodforthought.

very uncorrelated comparisons.

If you're liking women to slaves, you would do well to tell us what law enslaves women and why chimmanda cannot learn to respect people's personal choices.


Also , don't edit my post to make your point.

I just tire for them. Men are working for women in the real sense. Guys hustle to take care of their wife's and babes. Almost everything revolves around women. They control the destinies of great men indirectly, indirectly controlling empires with their bodies. Yet they are not satisfied. They want to join you at the steering wheel. Biko if two captains direct a ship will the ship not sink?

Because marriage is a product of collective human history.
Anybody who is human can choose to marry or not.

On every thread about Genevieve, plenty of brainless people show up to make stupid comments on her marital status. She has been beaten up verbally too many times, so to speak.

My problem here is why are feminists questioning other people on their choice? What is Adichie's business with other women keeping the wife tag. ? Is that how to pursue your own interests, by ridiculing other people's interests.? Is that how women will attain emancipation, hating men?

It was an interview between two self-proclaimed feminists, one of them happens to be Nigerian and well aware of the fact that some people define and judge women based on their marital status. Again, Genevieve is a perfect example so if a self-proclaimed feminist chooses to define herself by her marital status, she implies that she is better than a woman who is unmarried and, as a matter of fact, that is the thinking prevalent in the Nigerian society, that you must marry, which is utter hogwash.

This thing they call opinion, a lot of people take advantage of it because they have an audience. It's good to have an opinion, but wrong to force it on people. Just deliver ur message and hope people get it! She's crossing her limits by questioning other people's choices. At best, Adichie is a writer with an opinion, nothing more. She isn't necessarily women's spokesperson.

She has given a voice to many women and I appreciate it. She is a public person and she has a right to speak her mind. I am not sure how she forces her opinion on anyone since everyone is free to agree or disagree.

laziness and senselesssness everywhere

Chimamanda didn't ask Hilary Clinton to clarify anything, she was clear in her judgment when she said she was "upset" with Hilary Clinton when she found her describing herself as a wife while her husband didn't do the same on his own page. She wasn't seeking any clarification, her message was clear i.e she was disappointed in Hilary Clinton for describing herself as a wife and mother before anything else. That was not only judgemental from chimamanda, it was also discriminatory. In essence she is saying that she is upset with all women who choose to be housewives or celebrate their relationships and family rather than their careers. That was very shallow and unnecessary

Xisnin:

So you're trying to get me to be reasonable about feminism?

What ppl dont realise is that FACTUALLY, most of the global campaigners of the feminist movement are LESBIANS hence their raging drive to make sure that our NATURAL family structure crumbles. I am starting to believe that this girl might be gay. And PLS don't tell me "oh she is married". It doesnt mean much nowadays.
