I define feminism as equality between a man and a woman. I believe that a woman should be viewed and respected the same way a man is.

I agree with Adichie because why is it that people are not frightened when a man is successful or ambitious then what is so scary about a woman being so as well. Overall, Adichie and I have the same understanding of
