Chimamanda Adichie has revealed that she has a problem with someone holding the door for a woman simply because she’s a woman. The famous writer and feminist made this known in an interview on Trevor Noah’s show where she said the gesture should be done without regard to gender.

She told Trevor Noah:

”I thing gestures like holding the door shouldn’t be gender-based. I think it’s a lovely thing to hold the door but we should hold the door for everyone.

Like, I hold the door for men and for women. And so I think the idea of someone holding the door for a woman because she’s a woman… I have trouble with it.

I’m quite happy for people to hold the door for me. But I’m like, hope they’re not doing it because of this sort of idea of chivalry. Because chivalry is really about the idea that women are somehow weak and need protecting. But we know that really, there are many women who are stronger than men.”

Speaking of women being thought of as weak and given preferential treatment in crisis situations, Chimamanda Adichie said:

”So really, what I think is that the people we should protect are people who need protecting,, whether men or women. Which is also why I sort of have trouble with the idea of women and children. When women are classified in the same… I mean, when there’s a tragedy and we say, women and children should leave first. I think, actually, it’s the people who are weak, unwell, young… who should leave first.”

She has a problem with a man holding door for a woman because she's a woman but she has no problem with a man not hitting a woman because she's a woman.

soon she will have problem with men paying bride price to marry...she will say it should be vise versa

This gender equality issue will soon drive this woman CRAZY

It will soon be ; Let's all menstruate together, 'cause I don't think it's fair for women to bear menstrual cramps alone.

Let's share the responsibility of bearing children together , 'cause I don't think it's fair for women to bear labour pains alone... the husband will get pregnant first then the wife
This is what happens when you try to mess with or alter God's plan...you begin to lose it and it will never end!

In USA where she lives, families don't accept bride price. Instead, families and friends of both bride and groom provide gifts (dowry) to the newly weds to help them establish their homes.

What you call bride price is an African/Asian thing which initially started with very little non substantial sums until families (in Africa) turned the whole thing to a merchandise/business.

Chimamanda is wrong on this door analogy but if and when she decides to speak against that "business plan" called bridal list, I will support her.

...wat do we do now...
