Nigerian-American author tells Cheltenham literature festival audience having boys made her ‘worry more’
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has said she is terrified that her young boys will “join the manosphere”.
Speaking at Cheltenham literature festival on Saturday, the Nigerian-American author of works including Americanah told an audience that having two boys has made her “worry more” about men and boys.
“I keep reading these pieces about the manosphere, and I’ve just read a book about how men, how boys, are struggling, and now I’m terrified that my boys not only will struggle through their teen years, but then somehow will join the manosphere and start to talk about how women should be in the kitchen or something,” she said.
“But really, that’s not going to happen. I will not respond well to that nonsense,” she added to audience laughter.
