The Internet Reacts To Chimamanda Adichie’s Take On Chivalry & Men Holding The Door For Women

[ad_1]

So in case you missed it, Chimamanda Adichie was a guest on Trevor Noah‘s show on Comedy Central last night. And never one to miss any chance to speak on feminism, the award-winning author gave her opinion on a lot of topics including the concept of chivalry.

According to her, the idea of holding the door for a woman just because she’s a woman isn’t one that sits quite well with her. She says that the act is borne out of chivalry and the idea that women are weak, even if in reality there are women who are stronger than men. She also goes on to say that the idea of evacuating women and children when there is some sort of crisis is one that should be done away with; That the focus should instead be on people who are weak and unwell regardless of gender.

As we’ve come to expect, her stance triggered a lot of conversation and fierce debate on the internet. See some of the reactions below.

The ones who agree with her…

The ones who don’t…

The ones who think she’s simply iconic…

The ones who think she should just focus on writing books…

The ones who think she’s going through a Kanye phase…

Another angle…

Well…

And then these ones about Nigerian men…
