“Don’t Use Feminism To Justify Your Wickedness” – Chimamanda Adichie Tells Young Women

• She gained global recognition as a feminist after delivering a speech titled ‘We Should All Be Feminists”

Celebrated Nigerian Author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has admonished young Nigerian women concerning their perception of feminism.

The novelist, who is one of the strong feminist voices in the world, advised young women to not attribute nastiness and being mean to feminism.

In a short video clip that surfaced on twitter, the writer stated that she often says to young Nigerian women “Please do not use feminism to justify your wickedness”.

According to her, while relating with some women she often realises how much they think their nastiness suffices for feminism.

Meanwhile, twitter users have begun reacting to the award-winning writer’s comments. Ekohotblog culled some comments:

many men spent years on here trolling Chimamanda but now there’s a video that has resurfaced of her saying something they agree with. Suddenly, she’s the beacon of feminism who every feminist should emulate. Better stop being wicked to women and expecting kindness in return.

If you are nasty, you are nasty.
Activism won’t cover your nastiness.

Chimamanda is totally right.
A nasty person with absolutely no decency and home training will remain nasty, indecent and lacking in decorum.

Again, please fix your lives.
Activism won’t hide your nastiness.

Chimamanda didn't say you should stop being mean and wicked, we know if you stop, you'll d!ee, just stop using feminism to justify your wickedness.

How is it so difficult to comprehend?

whatever rights women have today were not coaxed from the hands of the patriarchy but snatched with violence.
that ‘wickedness’ is what will get you a seat at the table so if you want to join chimamanda to play niceness, happy birthday to you.

I just knew that the video of Chimamanda asking women not to justify wickedness with feminism was going to tickle the gonads of our regular misogynistic airheads.

The one that is bursting my brain is that I’ve watched that video at least 12 times and nor once did Chimamanda mention man or men and I cannot for the life of me understand how what she said has ended up in some of the bizarre things I’m reading here.

I think Chimamanda’s message was really clear. That some men will twist it to run a useless narrative does not mean you should lose reason too.

Chimamanda basically said take accountability for your actions and behavioral traits with your full chest. Don’t blame your attitude on feminism, and you people want to fight?. Whatever.
