I do not fancy African braids,twists etc because it has done alot if damage to my beautiful natural hair. I prefer press & curl...it is easy to care for & doesn't contribute to BALDNESS!
My little daughter (4 years old) started to observe😂 She asked me why dad is asking you to bring something, and why you accept that he should serve himself, she said.
@@cathykaeshow7779 Lost but, Better found than you at least.. Only a lost recognizes another lost.. You're alone there.. It was just an advice.. Not a opportunity for us to exchange..😪 if you want take it if don't want don't.. Not my business.😏

I like Mary Beard.... Give them a polite reply. I do that too not because of the gender stereotypes but because being polite is my virtue as a human being first, as a Muslim too.
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?
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.
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
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.
Always enriching to be in the presence of beautiful brilliant lady Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie💛🌟 Her genius her elegance soo inspiring…🎶✨ Thank you.. great share! Ashe’O
God bless you Chimamanda i like your personligt and wonderful words of wisdom and knownledge. You have a good spirit.watching You from Sweden. Be blessed with the Good work
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?
what if we teach both daughter and son to cry and they start getting change their attitude to be more emotion and week over things, how could we respond to bring them back to be stronger? Anyway, I like your both brilliant advice
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!
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.
@@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.
@@saathviksuresh6452 being male does not mean you are masculine, being masculine does not mean you are tóxic. Toxic masculiniteit is a specific kind of masculinity. You change the narrative and act as if people say masculinity is toxic.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You frame feminism and masculinity only in the romantic relationship which is very limiting. Broaden your view, then listen to this interview again, maybe it will make more sense to you
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.
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.
