In Africa in GENERAL Women have been indoctrinated by Men to believe that their sole purpose in life is to please men in any way the man likes and MOST IMPORTANT to produce as many MALE children as the woman can produce,there being NO effective Social net except "THE EXTENDED FAMILY to take care of elderly or handicapped members. Female children are brought up to be a carbon copy of their mothers and are only useful for marriage reasons where they can command a high price if they are really beautiful,OR EVEN UGLY if the father owns a profitable business,SO MONEY is the culprit again.LOVE in these circumstance is UNLIKELY to be a factor.
Women are NOT STUPID once they have reeled a husband in they set about buying expensive "things" to make them even more attractive to men. In some cases "things" means very fattening food making the woman very big,just because SOME men like BIG women.
The Current political thinking in MANY countries of the world is that men have had the upper hand too much being greedy and only making as much money as they can,MOST politicians are married (to a woman ) others have different preferences !
In SHORT women have reached a stage where they can manipulate their men and ,as they think take their place at the top of the pile,politicians,managers, company owners etc.
Phew....I will stop now...everyone must have had enough of my ramblings !!
P.S.I am certain that psychologists readers will revel in analysing "my ramblings" just to find out what makes me tick
"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
