Writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on Wednesday appeared on “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah.
Chimamanda discussed her book, “Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions,” and provided insight on feminism.
A particular comment on chivalry, however, about how it’s rooted in misogyny, seems to be rubbing people the wrong way.
While some have said she’s only asking that everyone be kind, regardless of gender, and that kindness not be gendered, others have said she’s taking feminism too far.
Watch the interview:
See a few of the comments below:
If you were with a man, would you give him the umbrella? If not, be the horrible person you are and don’t give the woman the umbrella.
This was Chimamanda’s point. Leave chivalry and be decent to everyone. Prioritize the physically weak and ill. It’s simple. Like many of you clearly are in the brain.
