Award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is trending on social media for saying she does not believe in chivalry.
Chimamanda made this known during her interview on the daily show with Trevor Noah. Chimamanda made it known that she doesn’t like women and children given preferential treatment because of their age and gender, but things should be done based on capabilities.
This has got Nigerian social media on a roar some supporting her statement while others trying to find how that is possible in the Nigeria we live in.

See people’s tweet on it.
I hold the door for everyone. Male or female. But when it comes to the car door, I do that for the lady, especially if we are dating. Not because she is weak, but because Queens have privileges.

Since Chimamanda said opening/holding the door of a car for a woman depicts that the woman is “weak” and it should be stopped.
The what does a man helping a woman in the kitchen depicts?
My main question is: Which should be stopped first???

Until Chimamanda joins Nigerian Army, helped fight Book Haram in Northeast collect bullet and felt the pain like her male colleagues I won’t take any of her gender blunts serious.

Ask yourself, ‘Why does Chimamanda piss me off so much?’ ‘Are her opinions really that outrageous?’ ‘Am I just averse to the truth or the truth as told by a successful woman?’
The truth in this case being that, if you really think about it, chivalry is indeed sexist.— Ndụka Ebube Dike (@DikeNduka) June 8, 2018
Chimamanda voiced her opinion about men holding doors for her, that’s her. Noblemen will keep holding doors for women irrespective of what she [ Chimamanda] thinks. Whatever the door is made off, always remember to be a gentleman, it is kind and romantic.

In that instance, she was weaker than me, because she is a female. She doesn’t have my physique.
Another time, a lady had to carry two bags. I took the lighter one. We are agemates. She was in pain. We had to swap. Chimamanda would rather remain in pain cos doesn’t want to be— Kayode (@Prof_sampam) June 8, 2018
Chimamanda making you question everything society has made you internalize without knowing.
But based on what she said the concept of chivarly won’t exist.— T.A♠️ (@MsTehyla) June 8, 2018
The problem I see in Chimamanda’s view about holding a door for a lady is a semantic one. She’s decided to streamline her view to the archaic idea of the word ‘chivalry’.

No. In Chimamanda’s doctrine, you were supposed to help her, not because she’s a woman but because she needed help. If she were a guy that needed help at that time, in Chimamanda’s doctrine, you help him too.

I think chimamanda has the right to an opinion, She doesn’t want people opening doors for her simply because she’s a woman,That is her own..
Not all feminists think like her,why can’t we respect people decisionNot that would be said on twitter would change the way she see like
