men and women who are<br />
happier because they are true<br />
to themselves.<br />
Keenly, Adichie emphasizes<br />
how men will benefit from<br />
femi- nism just as women<br />
do—that the pressures that<br />
patriarchy places on the<br />
masculine role can be just as<br />
det- rimental as those placed<br />
on women. Hence, the title’s<br />
argument—We Should All<br />
Be Feminists—rings true for<br />
persons of all genders.<br />
In essence, we should all<br />
be feminists not only as a<br />
commitment to women’s<br />
liberation but also as a way<br />
of encouraging men to hold<br />
conversations with women on<br />
sexuality, appearance, roles,<br />
and success. Being a feminist<br />
entails championing for the<br />
rights of women and trying to<br />
make the world a better place<br />
for women.<br />
