This essay is short and to the point, as it's a modified version of Adichie's original TED talk. I agree with everything that was said here, in that the socialization of boys and girls across the world has been patriarchal and hindering to girls. I particularly like the point about feminism being defined as the social, political, and economic equality of sexes, yet some men are threatened by feminism out of insecurity and question why the term is feminism instead of just human rights. Although I think this piece is so valuable and can open the eyes of those who have never considered the way women are disrespected in society, I also want to acknowledge the anti-trans sentiments Adichie has held in the past and her support for she who shall not be named. It is possible to separate a person and their works, which is why I still rate this a 4 star (the TED talk is still better imo) but it would be amiss to not recognize the lack of intersectionality for all women from this author.
