Is she a feminist?

See question.
Yes

FrancisTony:

The only reasonable male poster that has commented on this thread, so far.

Funny enough, Adichie isn't fighting for herself like most men here would think as she have everything on a platter of gold.

Cute husband.
Professor as a father.
The popularity no Nigerian male/female author has achieved world wide except Soyinka and Late Achebe.

Smh, on current form both popularity and writing, she topple Soyinka as "Half of a Yellow sun" is the best selling book.

How do you compare two people in different generations miles apart?Maybe we should wait till she wins a Nobel prize first before even comparing.
I appreciate her works,it's your statement i critique.

Someone is confused here. I wonder when she spoke for African gays.

Last time I checked gayism is legalised in some African countries with SouthAfrica been the only place they can marry.

Err', for all I/we know she spoke for only Naija anti-gay law.

The same Nobel prize Jonathan will soon win?

What's the big deal about the prize?

FrancisTony:

And what's the big deal about sales?

Your rehab continues - you will grow a pair even if we have to force feed you testosterone !

Even if Jonathan wins it,it will be a Peace prize.We are speaking about a Nobel prize in Literature.There is a difference.

thorpido:
You're the one who wrote this above.

You're the one who started taking a jibe and that is why I said you were getting emotional and rightly so.You are the one that needs to grow up.
Go through my posts from the beginning,it's right there.Everyone can see it.It puts a question on the so-called intelligence you speak about if you can't see it.I said I agreed on any sex taking up roles but disagree with a woman saying she won't do something just because it has always been a known female role.
Inferiority complex?I laugh!

Let's stop having the discussion like you said.
Goodnite.

Talking about manhood was not a personal attack towards you but men who feel like they lose their "man-ness' when they wash dishes or cook. You had written that you cook and clean, so?

Moving on, bye!

Why are you upset about women who do that too?

I have enough testosterone, so, thank you.

But, wait, if you believe a male can actually secrete excess oestrogen than testosterone and still claim male gayism is unnatural, isn't it contradictory?.

Choose one?

TV01:


Kandi, Kandii, Kandiii (see what I did there ),
Instead of greeting me with an emotional outburst, why not refute my assertion? If you can !

Pray tell, what structural impediments exist - much less supportive initiatives galore - to hinder the graduands of Wellesley College from accessing any opportunity they so desire? Or indeed any Western based woman.

I'm sure they were thinking "Who is this spear chucker trying to teach us - from the early bastions of womens lib - about feminism" . What next? Teaching the Tutsi how to dance the Watutsi dance? Or perhaps the Yoruba how to do owanbe . I scratch my butt in Arapahoe!

TV, as you can see I did not bother quoting your name because I have decided not to get in anymore debates with people like you. It's like arguing with a brick wall. In fact, here, scratch your rectum with this:

Quoting me blind or otherwise is not the point - neither is debating me. Simply refute, or closet your discomfort if you are unable. Lots of emotion but no answers ? Typical.

Choose? Based on your fallacious dialectic?

Homosexuality is disordered. If you like claim it is 100% genetic, even sef, claim God "made you that way".

In that case, I love feminists. Please, I'd like you to be a feminist. A great one. I can sponsor you all the way if you want me to. What will it take to be one?

LOOOOOL.

This boy yaff cray finish
Missterious, are you sure you can handle this guy? As I see him, he can kill you ooo.

She has to drop som f dose feminism to get married. Time is no longer on her side.

Now on Front page.

Cutehector:
Feminist! No wonder she isn't married...

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, BUT SHE IS MARRIED TO HER MEDICAL DOCTOR SWEETHEART! HUSBAND

Cutehector:

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, BUT SHE IS MARRIED TO HER MEDICAL DOCTOR SWEETHEART!

I strongly second the opinion.... Most people see a strong and resilient lady as exceptional, well That's Just what the society has reduced the female gender to. playing second fiddle to male so anyone that Seems to be on top is deemed abnormal... Seems it will continue so anyways.

Structurez:

Dude, she is married.... Pulease

missterious:
Because of the world we're born into, it's a natural thing to undermine females. I personally am guilty of it sometimes. I apologize for seeing my period, for being female. A random guy tells me men don't like ladies who use dark lipstick & I stop using it. I automatically assume touchmeder (one of the best writers on nairaland) is male because she writes so well.

But feminism creeps in on you. You begin to wonder why even a stranger on the street tells you to "smile, you're a woman". Seriously? -__- Is there like a gene for smiling specially installed in females? You watch an extremely sexist movie that basically says men are gods & should be worshipped & "catered for" whether you feel like it or not. I'm not your f*cking slave.

And for those that will mention marriage now, marriage is not a gateway to heaven.

Baby girl,you will soon realized that marriage is a gateway to heaven when you marry the sweetest man on earth.

Don't take this to extreme... . Female will always be different from men in many aspects. It's more normal for a woman to have a cheerful countenance than men.
But I hope you women know that you can't eat your cake and have it. If being a strong woman is normal, then it should be normal for women to walk up to any guy she likes nd ask him out instead of the other way.
It should also be abormal for women to expect men to spend on them. Many women in our society ose their feminity to get what they want. But when it's the other way, they'll shout sexism.
