Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, Mariama Ba, Tracie Uche, Chimamanda Adichie, and other feminist writers have been defending the feminist cause. They owe certain extra-literary commitment towards painting the male folk the picture of irresponsibility, humiliation, degradation, and subjugation, which as they want us to believe is occasioned by the thoughtlessness of men. They give major roles to the female characters. The most dangerous feminist I have ever seen was Tracie Uche. Read her play, Our Wives Have Gone Mad Again. It is a write-back to Ola Rotimis Our Husbands Have Gone Mad Again. She simply makes female characters the heads of the family while their husbands are to run errands for them in perfect obedience. The male characters are to shiver when their wive are talking. The female characters are the ones paying bride prize and marrying as many husbands as they like. Feminists are up to something, they try to redefine the family. They can sway the society if given the chance. But they are simply writing play and fiction, not realism. In my own part of the world, women do not involve in the breaking of kolanut because of certain social and ritualistic inferior. This is the only aspect of the culture that all feminists avoid in their novels or plays. Feminism should not be a combatant weapon. It should not be a fight for equality. It should not be a disrespect to mens authority. Women are mere appendages to men. There is no truth in feminist fiction. #Husband-wife-Relationship.
