Obi1kenobi:


[s]Except there is no such implication at all. It's a fallacious red herring. Nowhere has she used her ethnic background as a moral example.
So what if she seeks media attention? Achebe and Soyinka for all their undisputed intellectual gifts didn't attain the cultural mainstream fame that Chimamanda did in the US. They were more academics than social commentators. Fate also ensured they were strongly intertwined with domestic political affairs in Nigeria - especially as they were shaped by the civil war and post-war politics - and they spent most of their life in Nigeria. Chimamanda left Nigeria as a 19-year-old and has spent 21 years since as an American. I have zero interest in judging her career choices. It's not my business or yours.[/s]

who's talking about Chimamanda's career here? The problem with feminism is that to become one, you have to jettison logic and integrity like curb hookers. Chimamanda was born in Nigeria and attended University here. Did she graduate at age 19? Your ability to ignore the crux of the matter and spring up irrelevant matter is at par with Adichie's pretence that she's an American on a mission to change American culture.

Obi1kenobi:


I'm not sure where all your weird suppositions about her family come from. Cultural norms are hardly a mandate compelling anyone to do anything.

Looooooooooolz!!!! Cultural norms are hardly a mandate compelling anyone to do anything you say? But Chimamanda as an "American" is kicking against American culture of men opening doors for women nah? Can't you see you just exposed yourself as a fanboy with no brainpower to main your doctrines. No wonder crackhau.s said he was still looking for intelligent response none of you maid-servants are capable of providing.

Plenty of Igbo women inherit their father's wealth. I know a good number in my extended family alone. Who says she wouldn't be able to inherit her father's wealth. Who told you her father would remarry because of no male progeny? My mum's younger sister had 6 girls with no boys and had the happiest marriage till her husband died after a stroke. Do you sit down making fatuous shiit up when you have nothing cogent to say?

your name is Obi and except you don't know your father or was raised by a non-igbo mother, then permit me to be blunt: you're either an Osu or a bastard!
In all cultures of Igbo societies both western and eastern igbos, women are forbidden from inheriting lands. It could be given to them as the benevolence of family members but never as her right, rather as gift which is completely at the discretion of the males in the family. You lack integrity and honesty. People like you are dead in the real world and fully alive digitally.

Silly móron. Who is talking about inheriting wealth here? This is how you twist issue as feminists.

A man's wealth in Igbo land will always be divided amongst his children as Igbo culture doesn't really cover monies in the bank or companies. Ogbeni, I am talking about land!!!! I never mentioned wealth here, deceitful , slimy idiot!!!

NO IGBO WOMAN CAN INHERIT HER FATHER'S LAND BY TRADITION!!!

and oh, Igbo women since precolonial times have been marrying other women into their husbands' house to give them sons and an Igbo man who didn't bear male children sometimes have one of his daughters get pregnant outside marriage to raise a male son of his own. Chimamanda's father's ancestral land in ANAMBRA will go to his brothers and their children if he has no male child of his own. That's Igbo Culture until the coming of Christ.

Obi1kenobi:



Female life expectancy is higher than male life expectancy in every Western country.
There is no correlation between reproductive lifespan and feminism.

Your cognition is below the national average!!! Please I never said male life expectancy is higher than females'. I said women's life expectancy has greatly reduced since feminism kicked in while men's have remained steady. Are you just mentally slow or you're just a petty idiot who lies like a small-time thief?

Also , there's a link between reproductive lifespan and feminism. As more women reportedly engage in workforce and office routine, stress and junk food have taken a toll on their fertility as the BBC authoritatively states that 16 percent of women are hitting menopause in their early 30s all due to stress and junk food. You're truly dumb and uninformed.

Obi1kenobi:

(apparently, feminism destroys your ovaries ), though there is between countries that promote gender equality and birth rate. Maybe if we want to stop breeding like rats and doubling our population every 20-year-cycle, we should explore that.
Swedish or Western women aren't any sadder than their counterparts elsewhere. Scandinavian rape statistics are comparatively high because in countries with empowered women, reporting rates are much higher.
[s]
"A frequently cited source when comparing Swedish rape statistics internationally is the regularly published report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), based on official statistics provided by each member state. In 2012, Sweden had 66 cases of reported rapes per 100,000 population, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. This was unequivocally the biggest number reported to the UNODC in 2012. However, widely differing legal systems, offence definitions, terminological variations, recording practices and statistical conventions makes any cross-national comparison on rape statistics difficult, which is why the UNODC itself caution against using their figures. It should also be noted that many countries do not report any rape statistics at all to the UNODC, and some report very low numbers, despite studies that indicate otherwise.

The Swedish police record each instance of sexual violence in every case separately, leading to an inflated number of cases compared to other countries. Sweden also has a comparatively wide definition of rape."

Basically, statistics are useless without context. An average woman brutally raped in Somalia wouldn't even report it. A Scandinavian woman who is fondled at a party would often report it as sexual assault and it's taken seriously in their society - as it should be.

[/s]

Rape is rape all over the world . Only sexual harassment have varying meaning.

Women all over the world have a tendency to hide rape, not just in Sweden or Somalia. Be honest. Your life may one day depend on it.

You're wetter than a dripping cúnt.

Madam, the foundation of marriage in Africa does not support the feminist ideology so if you as an African woman claims to be one, you're merely deceiving yourself. Why didn't you tell your uncles to burn that list called bridal/engagement list? Does feminism support that extortion? Is that your own brand of feminism in Africa?

some cultures have even modified the rubbish by returning the money saying their daughter is not for sale.

Last time I checked, not even a single culture has tried to reduce or eliminate that list. What most cultures return is the bride price (usually less than N1000), not engagement list which sometimes culminate in millions.

The summary of my message is that we do not necessarily have to copy feminism in someone else's culture to make a point. There are peculiar issues that affect Nigerian homes, hence importing perceived western solutions can cripple the whole idea/essence of marriage. Note the word "perceived", since it appears that there is a positive and significant relationship between feminism and divorce.

Marriage has never been the coming together of two equal people, but two imperfect beings with different strengths and weaknesses, who are supposed to compliment each other, not share equal responsibilities. How can or why should two equal people come together to share equal responsibilities ? It doesn't make sense.

many people's traditional ideas of marriage is inherently oppressive so we are fighting to change it. you tear down old structures to rebuild. you don't expect a man to buy your daughter from you and expected him to treat her as a human being not as commodity. I'm on internet both nairaland/Twitter many people use bride price culture to justify many things including martial rape.

My idea of marriage is not oppression, but responsibility. A man should be responsible enough to be husband to his wife and father to the kids. The woman should be responsible enough to be wife to her husband and mother to her children. Any movement that attempts to switch roles must be soundly resisted. Things happens and for some reasons, roles can be switched albeit temporarily, but never should be accepted as a norm.

Are you aware that most women desire a real man that is willing to take the mantle of leadership, head and authority over the home? If leadership is what you refer to as oppression, then it is safer to just avoid the institution called marriage.

not all women. that is the point of my response to you. you don't get to push your world view on others. Feminists can get married to people who share their ideologies.
Feminism is also about giving women choices.

some women are better leaders than men. some women earn more than than their husbands should they now leave their husbands to die of HBP because they want to adhere to gender roles?

Some men barely make enough and work the same hours as their wives yet they leave all responsibility in child care and house work to her. should she die because it's her duty?
leadership qualities is not by having a penis.

people can switch roles in their marriage if they choose to. You are not in the marriage with them.

what I regard as oppression is the submission /control marriage some people like to preach.

Yes, leadership roles is not by having a penis. In the same vein, leadership roles is not by having more money.

There is something called innate qualities/responsibilities. Men are naturally created to be heads of families whether they are financially capable or not. A woman can head an organisation but not a home where a man lives. A woman cannot be head over her husband.

your advice is noted. I'm here to tell you people don't need you to tell them what they can or cannot do in their own home. people marry those they have things in common with. That's where compatibility comes in. A feminist will not go and marry an anti feminist man with her eyes open.

And again, no, there is no such correlation between reproductive lifespan and feminism. Your ovaries don't suddenly age just because you are a feminist. There might be a correlation between lifestyle choices and reproductive lifespan. It's instructive that women working is the "feminism" you find so abhorrent. Apparently, they should all be in the kitchen, cleaning and scraping and tending after insecure losers who can't stand that women can actually be productive members and leaders of society. Oh, and several Western nations have also seen a dramatic uptick in male infertility too. I guess that doesn't fit into your narrative does it?

An no, rape is not rape all over the world:
"Sweden also significantly broadened its definition of rape in 2005, which means the word "rape" can be used to record acts which would be called assault or bodily harm in other countries."
Also:
"In Sweden, each case of sexual violence is recorded as a separate incident. So for example, if someone says they were raped by a partner every day for a fortnight, officers will record 14 potential crimes. In other countries the claim could be logged as a single incident."

A yes or no response is all I asked. Saying that men should suddenly switch roles because your 21st century women work "so hard" is strange and toxic.

Stop spreading falsehood and quit making excuses for lazy, domineering and egocentric women. It is not enough to preach online what you won't practise.

Everyone should stick to their roles and those who can't, should remain single. Marriage is all about dependence, not independence. If you can do it all by yourself, then what's the point of marriage?

And even if your family chooses not to abide by the customs there, they are more or else resident outcasts in ANAMBRA. Let me point it out for you. If your father gives your married sister a piece of an ancestral land as inheritance y her male siblings agree to it, if she then gets married to a Yoruba guy, how does her children cope with the inheritance of an ancestral piece of land that has been passed from generation to generation in the village(Uno)? it is a different thing if the land is in Lagos or Abuja but in the village no court can save her children.
See? this is why I call you an Osu but you're worse off. Chimamanda was wise marrying a whiteman, but unfortunately for you. You're a man, albeit one walking with a gaping pussy. Tough luck for a fool like you.

Any man who denies his culture is worse than an OSU and more malignant than a bastard. Please the prohibition of Igbo women from inheriting their fathers land is very real in your home town in idemilli, ideani and others, a man with much landed property without a male child is likely to be killed by his relatives in your community. If you deny it then you're devilish bloodsucking hoe.

Please, show me these statistics showing female life expectancy has "greatly reduced". Sounds like either made up bullshiit or misinterpretation of statistics or selective cherry-picking of stats for an individual country.

I have written about this in my works and here in Nairaland as well. When last did you read anything outside Chimamanda worthless literary efforts that doesn't even mirror her background?
" Why The Modern Woman Is Sad" 2015 by Lezz. You will find the statistical there. Don't try to wiggle your way by deflection.

Obi1kenobi:



And again, no, there is no such correlation between reproductive lifespan and feminism. Your ovaries don't suddenly age just because you are a feminist.

I knew you were stupid but I didn't give you due credits for your genuine stupidity! Please does feminism not alter females lifestyle? If women are increasingly becoming working class and business women as against being housewives, will not there be more change of feeding habits, stress related ailment and High blood pressure?

Obi, tell me how is it impossible not to cuss you to hell as a cyber-drunk illiterate who doesn't even see the world beyond Nairaland comment feed and Chimamanda's scripting. OSU!

Obi1kenobi:


[s]There might be a correlation between lifestyle choices and reproductive lifespan. It's instructive that women working is the "feminism" you find so abhorrent. Apparently, they should all be in the kitchen, cleaning and scraping and tending after insecure losers who can't stand that women can actually be productive members and leaders of society. Oh, and several Western nations have also seen a dramatic uptick in male infertility too. I guess that doesn't fit into your narrative does it?[/s]

women have always worked. You partially answered the query of the demons tormenting you.

Obi1kenobi:



An no, rape is not rape all over the world:
"Sweden also significantly broadened its definition of rape in 2005, which means the word "rape" can be used to record acts which would be called assault or bodily harm in other countries."
Also:
"In Sweden, each case of sexual violence is recorded as a separate incident. So for example, if someone says they were raped by a partner every day for a fortnight, officers will record 14 potential crimes. In other countries the claim could be logged as a single incident."

does Sweden include rape to be acts without penetration?

Proudgorgeousga:


I already practice what I preach. I don't intend to enter relationships with religious or misogynistic men thank you.

Let me help you shape your thoughts. Marriage is deeply rooted in religion, okay? Religion is the reason you're desiring marriage.

You can't love marriage between a man and a woman and hate religion.

Acidosis:

here you are again imposing your world view on me. marriage isn't rooted in religion. there are different forms of marriage. I choose the one that works for me thank you.

non religious people get married all the time. you are not making any sense.

Same old line every docile mind in Nairaland have used since 2013.
So she was already an adult when she went to the US. And she tries to teach America their own culture and its meaning.
Other than being an un-improvising ambulance chasing feminist, to secure female adulation, you don't have much facts to back your assertions. Men like you end up in suicide or die from HBP. Seen it many times.

She's entitled to speak about whatever the hell she chooses. It's a free society. I don't know which assertions I have no facts to back. Care to state them?

You call Chimamanda's call for white men to cease opening doors for women a throwaway comment? Ouch!!! Just because I cornered you into admitting your mental confusion when you stupidly stated culture doesn't determine one's action. A throwaway comment that warranted a response from America's National Riffle Association? This is where I will ask you to show me your pussy. You're a gaping, dishonest cúnt.

It's a throwaway comment on a comedy show interview. Not a "campaign" as you called it. Using the word "campaign" suggests she was working assiduously towards a goal. Which isn't what she did. Not my fault you couldn't find the right vocabulary to express yourself. You didn't "corner" me into anything other than exposing the holes in your assertion. But keep up with the chest beating. The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong in you.

The "stereotype" comes from the suppositions you made about her parents. You made a specific claim about them based on cultural norms as you interpret them. That something is a cultural norm doesn't mean any reasonable person would presume everyone from a group practices the same thing.
More chest-beating stewpidity. It's entertaining. You're free to cuss and froth in the mouth like a rabid dog. It's a free internet, baby.

And even if your family chooses not to abide by the customs there, they are more or else resident outcasts in ANAMBRA. Let me point it out for you.

Again, I'll repeat it so it can percolate through your thick skull - I haven't denied the discriminatory norms against women in my culture. My point was a hell of a lot of people are progressive enough to buck that trend. The fact remains I have female cousins who own their father's property and land in its entirety and they are unmolested. Plenty of Igbo women have fought these customs and won. Cases have gone as far as the Supreme Court and the custom has been invalidated.
http://www.loc.gov/law/foreign-news/article/nigeria-supreme-court-invalidates-igbo-customary-law-denying-female-descendants-the-right-to-inherit/
Only impoverished women who can't afford legal counsel, or women who don't know their rights would be robbed of their inheritance in this age.

I don't give a shiit about whatever work you dragged from your arse. Show me the statistics you're talking about and we can discuss it in context with your points.

Plenty of women who work do not identify themselves as "feminists". Your average Southern Republican in the US is hostile to liberal feminists. And still works her ass off. You attributed shortening reproductive life to feminism. Why not simply attribute it to greater work exertion. In your debased world view, feminism is the great evil. So I was asking, you also have a problem with women getting off their asses to work? They should be there to cook and clean and make babies and indulge your fragile male ego?

Acidosis:


A yes or no response is all I asked. Saying that men should suddenly switch roles because your 21st century women work "so hard" is strange and toxic. Women in the 19th and 17th century have been working so hard whilst some even birthing more than 10 children. Stop spreading falsehood and quit making excuses for lazy, domineering and egocentric women. It is not enough to preach online what you won't practise.

Everyone should stick to their roles and those who can't, should remain single. Marriage is all about dependence, not independence. If you can do it all by yourself, then what's the point of marriage?

There are no independent married women anywhere. All the independent ones are single.

Nobody has said anyone has to "switch roles". The issue is your definition of the roles and not the roles themselves. Your viewpoint presumes that just because a woman breastfeeds a child and you have a diick, that automatically makes you the dictator of the home. If you have a partner that submits to tthat view, good for you. Millions of men around the world have moved on from antiquated views like that and understand their responsibilities to their partners.

Maybe your partner is not independent. Plenty of us have independent partners.

crackhaus:

Lol, Daddy Freeze at it again.

I'm still waiting with bated breath to read or see Chimanmanda's response to the conversation Dana Loesch's remarks to her has stirred up. I'm quite sick and tired of engaging her maid-servants who have been trying all they can to defend their madam.

I need to see an intelligent response ASAP and it seems it can only come from Chimanmanda herself. This silence however leaves a lot to the imagination especially as she has a reputation to always respond to attacks against her views.

She’ll prolly let the dust settle before responding or never. You know how this works, oyinbo are their demi-god. Leosch is one ruthless cat she doesn’t wanna banter with. hehe
