I want women to be treated like somebody who has penis — Chimamanda Adichie

World acclaimed and multiple award winning writer, Chimamanda Adichie, has said that she wants women to be treated the same way as men.

She said the overall goal of her feminist activities were to make feminism unnecessary in the long run, with everyone being judged on merit.

In a detailed interview with The Guardian of London, the novelist said she wanted people’s marriages to change for the better; and for women to walk into job interviews and be treated the same way as somebody who has a penis.

Noting that she has always been an agony aunt of sorts, she said had been “the unpaid therapist for my family and friends”, but that having the feminist label attached has changed things, and not just among her intimates.

“I was opened to a certain level of hostility that I hadn’t experienced before as a writer and public figure,” she said.
