Award-winning novelist and feminist icon, Chimamanda Adichie says she feels sorry for men because they can’t experience the benefits that come with being a mother.

In an interview with Vulture, Adichie opened up about what having a child meant to her and the impact it had on her art.

“I used to think I wouldn’t be a good mother because I was so dedicated to my art,” the ‘Americanah’ writer said.

“I said to myself, I have nephews and nieces who I adore, and I helped raise them, so those will be my children. That’s what I thought for a long time, because I felt that I couldn’t be true to both my art and my child.

“Getting older. I like to joke and say that you’re ready [to have a child] when your body isn’t ready, and when your body is ready, you’re not mentally ready.

“I guess you have the best eggs when you’re, like, 22, but at 22 you don’t even know yourself.

“Then when you’re 38 and know yourself, your eggs are not the best quality. Anyway, we’ll talk about eggs another time.”

Adichie explained that having a child interrupts her writing to an extent but also opens up a new range of emotions that can inspire art which men can’t experience.

“But my baby happened, and it’s important to talk honestly about this, because having her changed a lot,” she said.

“Having a child gets in the way of writing. It does. You can’t own your time the way you used to.

“But the other thing that motherhood does — and I kind of feel sorry for men that they can’t have this — is open up a new emotional plane that can feed your art.”

Men should also feel sorry for us because we cannot experience fatherhood

Make i go continue my search for bitcoin to buy sha... Check my signature.. Best rate always.

It's LadyF again.

There's a fine line between genius and stupidity, Chimamanda just crossed that line.

I don't blame her though, it's because her husband has failed to handle her engine like a proper man.

I am sorry for Chimamanda Adichie, she can't have fatherhood.
And I'm sorry for her co-husband who is also not experiencing fatherhood

Leave her alone brain is paining her .... I wonder why she would always want to bark .. Inferiority complex, vying for something which was already equal.

Hmmm, aunty done show. Funkeeeeeeeeee apostle must hear....

I'm sorry for women, they don't have spermhood and without spermhood, no motherhood

LOL. Seems this woman loves trending

Uhn? Why would they want motherhood when they can have fatherhood?

Cheers to the responsible fathers out there!

I bet she starts The Lord's prayer with " Our Mother who art in heaven"

Chimama ITK! BUSY BODY! Home training miss road! You know wetin to get d*ick be like? And to wake up feeling good with morning wood! Devil agent.

I am so sorry for this lady. Who do her this thing? She is just a bunch of confusion.

ALAYE PARK WELL JOOR

How does this woman's husband cope with her excesses?

Don’t worry, we don’t need motherhood.
