Wow, such an act of politeness to even consider writing a reference to someone who had been mean to you clearly puts you head and shoulders above mean spirited people.

[@vivianideh8543]

Chimamanda I love your courage for going for what you believed in.....True my you inspire me

[@MyChoicestWarrior]

Love the two women so versed and independent in their knowledge. My take on this conversation is, don't follow other's convictions. Take your own stand based on your understanding of life, and dont feel too bad when people criticize your stand. People grow and change. Same person who criticized your stand will change to take on your stand tomorrow. Also, will interest me to know how Adichie's approach to critics will evolve in many years to come. Will she lean towards Beard's approach?

[@nomfundogcabashe9572]

A lot of people who once were on the critising end have unlearned what they thought was acceptable and normal. It's good that people grow and change. Change is sometimes good. Not everything that foreign is bad.

[@clarak.mallah4137]

Respect to both but Mary Beard shows that age and experience matter. Laughing and being polite are just as powerful as hostility. Possibly more so when dealing with chauvinism and entitlement. The pen is mightier than the sword. Always

The aim of being outspoken person in society,is to open the minds of those that are aware and unawares,to let them know what is going around them that might be acceptable to them but,uncomfortable to others. I my right about this?

[@jueshua148]

That was strange that she suggested that women, at 55 years old who look better than her, must have had "work done". She is obviously referring to plastic surgery, and not going to the gym. That is a hell of a thing to say, especially from a so called feminist.

[@chikadim3772]

dont mind her,my mum is more thann 55 and she looks very good,she doesnt even work out and she has not done any plastic surgery.

[@diamond852]

Why am I not surprised that you're adding to what she said to make it sound worse than what she said. At no point did she talk about better looks. She specifically mentioned things like grey hair, which isn't about looking better; it's about looking older. But you decided to display your own biases with your paraphrase. She should have done a better job of not putting all older women in the same category because there are many who don't age as much. Still, you obviously have issues.

[@diamond852]

talk2me9ja You should have at least watched the video to know tho the op was referring to.

[@diamond852]

talk2me9ja You want to know why Africans are not respected? Because people like you make ignorant comments like yours and show that they have no comprehension skills because even when they are told that they're commenting on the wrong person they still go ahead and run their mouths. A sensible person would have realised that I was trying to tell them that the original post was not about Chimamanda. I'm sure you haven't even understood what I've just said.

[@diamond852]

talk2me9ja Who cares about what you think and whom you respect? Actually I'd be very worried if I were respected by someone who doesn't understand plain English and who is too lazy to know what he/she is talking about but who doesn't let the emptiness of his/her understanding stop him/her from displaying foolishness to the world. The Africans I know are thankfully not like you but you give them a bad name. Grow up.

[@graceygrumble]

No, she is mid-sixties, but when she was 55, A.A. Gill was offended that such a woman should appear on TV. She wasn't decorative enough for him. He'd like women on TV in America, because they all have to be good-looking. At 55, if they haven't been shoved out of the door already, they've had work done!

[@saathviksuresh6452]

Well that's changed now hasn't it. Masculinity is now taught to be violent. So now it's a little hypocritical isnt it

[@vroxxzz]

What do you mean by it's 'taught to be violent'? Do you think we teach it or its encouraged or it exists and we just allow it? Surely not- if anything i would have thought that violence in general and masculine violence in particular, is increasingly frowned upon.

[@saathviksuresh6452]

@@vroxxzz I'm agreeing with you. Masculinity isnt toxic. People are saying it is when it's just being a male. Toxic masculinity isnt real it's just being a dick.

Feminism is as problematic as Masculism. Both worldviews are incomplete. Just to be a man is to love a woman and respect her. Just to be a woman is to love and respect him. The world is beautiful. Be in love with the world.

Race is not an identity marker in Nigeria? Whites and orientals are constantly being reminded that they owe the blacks something.

[@philiswambhele1590]

Don't they?

[@okeekpagha2126]

For a Nigerian, that's not their problem at all. Because most people Nigerians interact with are other Nigerians. For white and orientals who are the minority in this country, it's understandable how this can be their reality. But, based on chimamanda's experience as a Nigerian, it makes sense that she can say this.

[@Churros1616]

Who are the blacks? Do you live in Nigeria? Chimamanda is speaking for her experience, obviously white Nigerians and Asian Nigerian can tell their experience about living in Nigeria as a minority. Their experience is different from Chimamanda her experience as a Yoruba Nigerian woman is differsnt, she didn’t realize her race because the majority of the people in Nigeria are Nigerian.

[@clarak.mallah4137]

Chimamanda is fantastic!
