"a lot of what is said in this essay is obvious to me, but i think that's because it's not necessarily for me. it's for people who aren't quite there yet, who don't understand feminism or why we need it. with that being said, i do think it's a very accessible explanation. and though this essay didn’t inform me much on feminism, i did learn from it what gender inequality looks like in nigeria, and i am happy to now know a bit more about life in another part of the world.
(edit: apparently adichie is transphobic, so with this knowledge accompanying my aforementioned thoughts on the essay, i'd suggest reading alternative feminist texts, as feminism that does not include trans women is not true feminism.)"
"I initially rated this five stars because it was a compelling argument towards feminism. I ended up taking it down to four stars because (after rereading) I realized that it was trans and nonbinary exclusive. <br/><br/>I have also heard that the author may be a TERF who openly supports J. K. Rowling's anti-trans agenda. I will not be reading anything else from this author until I have looked into this."
