How is it easy to say someone criticized someone and it is bad but difficult to show how it is criticism and bad? If I say your username Jeezuzpick critiques Jesus and bad should I be taken serious if I'm unwilling to show how it critiques Jesus and bad? What's the difference between these questions and your position?



What was the end result?

Hilary had to say she might change her bio.

That's a result of criticism.

My moniker is an Identification with Jesus. You pointed it out, I explained. That's clarification. If I decided to change it after listening to you, it's something else.

Chimamanda said "she was upset". Why should you be upset at the choice of another. Ngozi made it look like being a mom is degrading. Check Obama's bio, the first thing is "dad". Let's people (women) choose what they want, that's the concept of feminism.

So what exactly did Adichie say that is bad when she was only asking for clarification and understanding? And why speak as though for reason and positive vibes to happen the end must justify the means? If I critique a thing and you decide to change and improve does that negate my criticism and plea for clarification?

WHAT DID ADICHIE SAY IS BAD IF SHE WAS ONLY ASKING FOR CLARITY?

Why should we be upset at the choice of others? For real? Are you really asking? I'd let this pass but if you care and serious I will go that lane.

So what is wrong with being upset or disturbed and asking for clarification on the matter? Don't we have rights to be upset at even things we do and do not understand? And how is saying that anything upsets wrong where the explanation is insufficient? Tell me, what exactly did she say is wrong?

SHE WASN'T ASKING FOR CLARITY! SHE WAS OPENLY CRITICIZING HILLARY FOR SAYING SHE'S A WIFE FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE!

I'm not interested in continuing this exchange, madam. Have a nice day.

I wonder o. Only women not happy in their marriages or chronic spinsters will kick against using 'wife' in somebody's bio. This has nothing to do with standing for the rights of women.
Exactly! It has nothing to do with it!

Why should Chimamanda be upset at the choice of Hilary? That's the bone of contention here.

Your bedrid Moth-r, can never be half this woman, in fact... all the women in your gen-ration can't add up to who this woman is.
Why is it that in 2018, Nigerians still don't know the meaning of the word "generation". You are part of the generation you are insulting.

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!!

She's simply insane jarey...

So all you women out there take note! Being a wife is nothing to be proud about anymore. Being a mother will soon join the list grin

This bush rat that managed to go abroad with her patriarchal father's money, this common girl that wrote a few books (all of them booooring as hell except for 'half of a yellow sun') and now thinks the world rotates around her, this wife who does not care how her husband feels about her antics but wants to be loved and respected as a person and looking for who will carry her travelling bag, is now the spokeswoman for feminism. Lol!

Anyways, If hilary clinton coould be swayed by something so petty on her social status, it shows how weak minded she was in the first place. Something she put by herself and was proud of, one girl from nowhere talked and she quickly changed it, shows how weak minded and easily swayed she would have been if she was made the POTUS.

Abeg don't let Donald Trump see this oh, he'll use it to roast her alive meen...

Harvard professor I'm not of female gender.
Secondly, do you have another definition for the word "Generation"?

I was referring to my first respondent family generation only.

If only Hillary could convince Bill to insert "Husband" as the first word on his Bio too

Win-Win! And everyone is happy cheesy
Are they doing title competition.

For me equality of race, gender, ethnicity, wealth, etc is a mirage. As desirable as it could be, as hard as we fought to attain it, it will remain a mirage.

Well said, I really love your points especially the last paragraph.

Thanks.

people should be free to take pride in being a woman or man. Not every one has to follow feminist thinking. Even feminism wasnt meant to be as dark as this.

Sad f*ck

This issue asides, isn't it funny how this woman is only bothered about a relatively untroubled nation like America, when her birth nation is in Chaos?


Read the negative comments on this forum about her and see all the backlash she is getting for having a sit down with a US presidential candidate. That's the reason why she cannot address troubled people in a troubled nation.

You see, other countries appreciate her knowledge and celebrate her wisdom, Nigerians are more interested in telling her to shut up and not have her views. Other countries are happy to respectly dissagree with her, unhappy Nigerians will find every reason to dissrespect her.
This girl has achieved so much for our country and I appreciate her for enlightening others about our people with her books and eloquent speeches. I may not agree with all of her views but I love her for what she has achieved for Nigeria.
Sadly, Nigeria remains a country where people elect Criminals, Thugs and Thieves into political offices while they keep the intelligent ones relegated to the background, demonising their best and brightest.


Nigeria does not deserve Chimamanda. The leaders we elect are exactly the individuals we deserve.

Your post has nothing to do with my post, that you quoted.

She isn't being lashed for sitting with Hilary.
She is being scolded for being quite rude and poke nosing into someone's else marital life.

How can you say you're hurt about someone addressing herself as "wife"?

Anyways I have better things to be bothered about frankly.

Lady,, I am not anti women but these notion going round that men and women are equal is just crap. Women deserve all of the love and respect, yes I said respect they should get but they must also know their place.

How can somebody who decided to see herself firstly as a wife gets cornered by another who sees the title as degrading, a woman who refused the title "Mrs" even after getting married. It's her right I get it, but does she have a right to corrupt others? My using the abology #Pri*k is a way of expressing the fact that men still have some useful roles they get to play in the lives of women and these roles cannot be taken away. Imagine Lesbians will still need a man's sperm to have a child even when they claim that they hate men.

I don't know all but I just feel this ain't right.
