Did Feminist Chimamanda Goof?

in #politics7 years ago

Foremost Nigerian born Feminist, Chimamanda, has been a loud voice in the advocacy for women's rights.

Many people believe that she goes overboard with these ideas
Recently she said in an interview how she got upset over how the Twitter bio of Hillary Clinton read wife before any of her achievements. Her annoyance was exacerbated by the fact that Bill Clinton's profile starts off as founder of the Clinton Foundation.

It so seems that Chimamanda wants to use her fame to stifle women's choices with the tool of feminism. She would happily derail an interview that wasn't about feminism to dictate what women should do and should describe themselves.

If she were a little hardworking and did some more research, she would have noticed Obama's twitter bio that describes him as dad and husband before pointing out his past presidency.

Infact, if she had been more than an upset feminist she would have seen that it's not a strange thing for a spouse to describe oneself in relation to ones spouse without getting the favor returned on the Twitter Bio.
John Legend describes himself as Crissy's husband and John Legend does not reflect on her bio.

Guess who was upset about this? No one!!!

Was Chimamanda unnecessarily bitter?
Was she right to bee upset over another woman's choice?
Does she reepresent feminism?
