“Men are providers” yen yen yen. See how the women have been handling business, food commodities and creating generations .

Yet these generation men will be saying we should be like our grandmothers and claim ‘natural providers’ smh ..meanwhile even from time these grandmothers were not happy about the polygamy and were also the providers of their homes as always

Meaning many were not happy in their marriages but because of some stupid backward traditions and societal noise, they endured. women have really come a long way

compare the documentary of the men to that of the men. realise how the men were talking about how to work and overwork women and children but the women are talking abt how to support their homes even if being treated badly. no culture,tribe or religion spared women. they painted marriage as a bed of roses and called single people miserable but truth be told they were the miserable ones. all these submission and it still didn't get them anywhere but gave them more suffering.

you see this.. and they say now women are gold diggers, when you hear this why won't you want better for yourself, and it may look selfish but it's protection.

It’s annoying when the translation is not like for like. They are speaking very poetically and expressively but the translations make it dry
