I doubt anyone could succeed in trying to humiliate Adichie. They must feel very threatened by her to to even try.

Things like this will continue as long as the power structures that enable men to abuse whilst dismissing and ignoring the voices of their victims remain in place.

To report, to relive, to face down your abuser in public and to do what she did in her testimony is utterly beyond my comprehension. The bravery and fortitude that young woman must be made of simply blows me away.

Blimey. It also could encourage a very flawed pathology; the intervention by her father paints male violence as a justified response. And that women are the real problem.

Excellent. Let’s meet at dawn and start the revolution.

Or, “everything is ok now because justice was done and now we can all move on.”

She married a racist POS and spread his racist birther narrative on TV. She wanted to be rich. This is the price she pays. Can we stop feeling sorry for her?

On balance, the rest of the most crucial perspectives she brings have always outweighed any memory of those details. It’s particularly pertinent to me to recall her words about objectification and attractiveness, that until we fight unrealistic beauty standards and allow our “real” bodies and faces to be seen, men…

Given the volume of men continuing to make comments like that online, I’m starting to agree with them that it’s best we just stay home.

Oh, it’s definitely that too! It’s as if they’ve just sailed through life and the merest inconvenience is world-ending.

Oh! Billy Bush has daughters!!! WELL!!!!

Do you really think they’re terrified of it? I have just assumed they’re terrified of being rumbled themselves, like each and every one of them is sweating, waiting for women from their pasts to start speaking out.

Waaaaaa! This movement, which isn’t actually about me, is affecting me and stopping me doing what I want to do.

I think she just says all of this stuff to stay relevant. She used to be my hero.

Definitely read The Female Eunuch. It’s as relevant now - even more so - as it was in the late 60s. In linking inevitable patriarchy inevitably to capitalism, and arguing that if the two are inextricably linked, we have to fight the capitalist forces that keep us all down, there is a line it that has always stuck with…

The thing that annoys me the most about the “But why didn’t you just” argument is that by insisting there was an action and you just didn’t perform it, it completely holds victims responsible for their own rapes. So, the strong ones who don’t freeze don’t get raped, the silly weak ones who forgot to go for the balls…

As others have suggested, I reckon she’s signed some kind of prenup that means she gets nothing if she leaves before a certain time. Which makes the price she is paying for her comfortable life all the more baffling.

Oh, there’s no way she eats that shit! But I can imagine her buying snow shovels to help him it get it to his slobbery racist mouth even quicker.

Yep, yep and yep. Business all the way. And gross.

This is my point exactly. The answer to your question must be yes. For me, the opposite of convenience!
