RE: The Life of an African Man

in Holos&Lotus16 days ago (edited)

The situation is different in the Western world, where women bear a heavier burden in many aspects of household life, and financially speaking, it’s quite common for women to contribute to the household’s total income.
An interesting perspective—and a very unequal one, by the way—in a world that is crying out for gender equality.
Thank you, @fexonice

Es distinto lo que se vive en el medio ocidental, donde la mujer tiene más carga en muchos aspectos del hogar, y con respecto a lo económico, es muy normal que la mujer sea parte del aporte total de los ingresos de la casa.
Interesante visión y muy desigula, por cierto, en un mundo que pide a gritos la igualdad de género.
Gracias, @fexonice

Here in my country, women can hardly spend money on a man when living together. In a home, the man's money is our money while the woman's money is her money. Whatever a woman spend on the home is loan the man has to pay back to her.

This isn't something I've experienced since my grandparents' time; I find it hard to understand; but then again, it might just be a cultural thing...
