She said 'she felt'. Felt gini? Only an ignorant person will pish Hillary aside. Asides from being a wife to a powerful man, she was accomplished herself. As first lady she did a lot of sociàl works and then moved on to become senator and then presidential candidate. This woman gave Obama a run ft his money so what explanation is aunty feeling? eezeribe: |

The word 'shut up' is rude and impolite to use even against children. If anyone has actuallly and directly used such word against her, it is bad ad unacceptable. Adichie is entitled to air her view but just that I discovered over the years that feminists are bad for leadership and will do more than worse in leading people and this can be known through what Adichie angrily wrote. 1 Like |

prechbills1: I completely agree with you, In usa , uk , france etc, women slap men across the face and everybody thinks it's normal but when a man slaps a woman , he is arrested for assault and abuse immediately, feminism is satanic agenda to destabilize the home which is God's first institution on Earth . There are a million videos on YouTube which explains the real agenda of feminizm . Have you seen the trailer for the incredibles 2, there are lots of subliminal messages in the movie . Satan is trying to create a world of weak feminised men and powerful Women in rebellion to God's order . Google " girl power " and " boy power " you will see the results . Its a Shame Chimamanda is a pawn in these schemes 2 Likes |

DexterousOne: Since you don't understand me let me kowaciate. She refuse to bear her husband's name for whatever reason. Maybe because he's a man or because he doesn't own her (But I do hope he paid bride price) or because it promotes the mythical patriarchy. Either of these reasons is enough for her to drop her father's name (Adichie) as well. She can easily find another female name to add to Chimamanda. Hope you understand now. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sterope:Who did God make the head of the home? Who made man the leader of the house? I guess its the woman? right? smh Sterope:Do U even know who Ur ancestors were? Sterope:Can't speak for the Quran beliefs....I guess they have guidelines but ponder on these questions.... Was there anything called "dating" in the bible? Was there also a part in the bible where exchange of wedding rings were required in a marriage? Was there a scripture in the bible that required a lady to wear an all white gown while the guy is on his black tuxs? These are guidelines and requirements for a typical Christian marriage and if U have an issue or against it,den find some one who thinks like U.....then get "married" the way both of U want it to be....Don't be a judge in a person's choice.. Sterope: Without the western culture am sure U will be in a jungle,half naked chasing bush rats for lunch by now...or being a 5th wife to a prominent hunter in ur villa.... The same west brought good things to the world and society but also brought terrible things too.... ...as much as we admire and remain grateful for the positives from western culture,Not every thing offered by the west should be acceptable! Just because the western culture brought about good things to our society doesn't also mean it can wake up one morning and alter their lifestyle and expect others to assimilate them! I guess we should start accepting bestiality since its already a norm in the west! Sterope: lol....Not hypocritical but common sense! there will always be a blend or balance in cultures... Not everything from the west is bad and not everything that emanated from Africa is terrible.... There are some Very recommendable African "practices" that are still relevant in our society just like that of the west.... Its my choice to know which one best suits me based on my morals and ideologies! Sterope: Does ur use of 'identification' in ur culture also include or imply that U will also use Ur dad's surname even after U have been married? .its imperative that u tell ur future hubby that U intend not to change ur name if U finally get married to him.... If he accepts,then that's not my problem but if he doesn't, then don't judge him or call him names.... Sterope: That's not up to U to decide....Like i said....All these are unnecessary noise cos U wont mind getting ur future hubby's name..... 3 Likes |

Chimamanda 's world could be likened to Afolayan' s Movie TITILED FIGURINE (ARAROMIRE), which the gods gives all for seven years and takes it all back after seven years... I believe her time is up, she has been hitting the nail for some times now, and its time the nail hits back the hammer .. It takes only a little mistake to falter. She better becareful before they trash her like a pack of cards. My people go say, when God won punish you.

I understand her far better now, nice that she defended herself, I wondered why Chimamanda would try to control how another woman chooses to address herself. That's controlling what a woman chooses to do with her life and not something feminism endorses But it seems it was a personal conversation between her and Hilliary, seems they were close enough to have that kind of conversation which is why Adichie went for it., I would wonder too why someone would address herself as wife on twitter., especially if the husband doesn't do the same, they both talked about it. understood each other, and moved on, The problem is when the media and people decided to carry the matter on their head and jump into issues they didn't understand, it was very good of Chimamamda to clear the air. 2 Likes |

Imagine this trash? Look at weak men claming to be strong. So your pathetic strength is based on how you can bend and manipulate the female gender to your will. Without giving a thought to the choice of the woman. How can your strength or the strength of a man be based on if your wife chooses to answer your name or not? Or you conveniently forgot she has a choice to choose to answer your name or not? Instead of you to respect that she has the choice to answer your name or not, and respect the fact that some women choose not to, and it doesn't make the man weak or has any reflection on the man. You are here yarning dust. Be the weak ass man you are and stop trying to put your weakness on how far your can go in your control of Women, that is a weak man's move. And as the weak man you are, here you are hating on a man far stronger than you. Nonsense. eezeribe: 2 Likes |

Daeylar:Since U are having an issue bearing the name of ur future hubby....why don't U get someone who thinks with that line of thought.... Why wait until U are married only to tell ur hubby that U won't be addressed with his name but with ur own father's name? If U have a problem with being labelled by ur Hubby's surname,then marry someone who doesn't see anything wrong about it like others do....but don't judge or condemn anyone who insists on having his wife being called by his last name....or mock a lady who wants to be addressed with her hubby's surname...! 2 Likes |

oyb: Just stop abeg, you're not making any sense . Do people call Hillary, wife Clinton coz wife's on her twitter bio?. Your analogy is flawed. And back to the main point. Hillary has decided to put wife on her Bio because :: 1) Hillary's ACTUALLY a wife- married to Bill . So case 1: it's not like she's lying about who she's not. She has not called her self Superman 2) A wife has a duty in a family setting, just like a husband, child, Aunt etc also have. Hillary has felt she has perform her duty really well ( whether it's washing plate, telling your husband to cook,giving your husband good advice or whatever) and she feels she should flaunt her accomplishments ALONG WITH OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS which she has in other areas of her life. Case 2 :: Hillary's DECIDED to flaunt her ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Now what Adichie is trying to do and also one of the things which most FEMINISTS have been trying to do is UNDERMINE THE INSTITUTION CALLED MARRIAGE. She's trying to say Hillary can flaunt her achievements in other fields but can't flaunt her achievement in marriage, all coz she's a WOMAN. To me, Adichie is a misogynist trying to force an individual to decide what she deems fit to flaunt or not . If she feels she's had a hand in making who Bill Clinton was, then she should be allowed to flaunt it!! Adichie lacks critical reasoning. 2 Likes |

Mindfulness:Stop trying to be clever by half. it's common knowledge that cases of physical attack by a perpetrator is treated differently depending on the gender. was watching a documentary recently (US). A guy reported a case of physical attack by his wife. The police got there and told him he's alright and "you better get out of there fast coz once there's as little as a scratch on that woman ( probably even in the case of struggling), we are arresting you". Imagine!! There are also many other cases like this i.e downplaying attacks by women and aggressive clamp down in Men when they are the perpetrators. cases of custody, child support, abortion,pay gap etc are another thing. 1 Like |
