piece of this function like 3 to the most important thing with these to be to just yourself and the to hello and welcome back to the 77 percent strict debate this week. we are the library as capital of monrovia. now you might be familiar with the expression, strong african woman in this country. they suddenly having had a female president, elizabeth johnson, but the strength in women is sometimes discouraged when it comes to romantic relationships, particularly the applicant context sensitivity wants to find out why. who better to

answer this question for me that some late periods and we're going to start with the couple on the panel. we have a couple this so loved up austin and shuttle thanks for joining us. so let's start with the basic question of your day to day when you wake up in the morning, give me a little clue about who does what in the morning. what's your morning routine like since how you are really citing, let me start. well, thank you. um in the morning i wake up around 55 like 530 a get my kid ready for school wide. he's dead getting ready for work. okay, so what do you say that's your domestic responsibilities. uh sort of equally splits between the 2 of you. yeah, it is. yeah. physically i'm able to wake up early morning and get hot water for the kids. i'm able to be beeping the little girl while she has to be ferrying cobra or something. so yeah, i think is good and i enjoy doing you abraham, where are you? i know that you have a biblical name and also an old fashion stands on the concept of equality and

relationships. tell me a little bit about that. for me. i come with uh, african quarter background. uh and they are. ruth described to me both men and women. i believe that most of the 1st choices, you know, are offered in context. uh uh, the responsibility of the women. but the make them be of help. so let me tell you, i'm laughing because the women behind me are really sighing. you subject something then? yeah, i would, i would like you to complete it please. so you started by telling me women's responsibilities in their relationship. i had turned on much of one. do all the health choice? no, i said, most of the res response, most of the 1st choice is the woman's responsibilities. so what does the mind do then? you know, will i be when setting is the head of the home he's responsible to, to, to provide for the home. okay. tell me what you're thinking. always the female is

a feminist and an activist. yeah. knowing that liberia was set on the basis of peach. iraqi just explains why they are a no saying these different things. but when you look at who said those rules who's, who gives the responsibilities of a woman take in charge of the room and doing the choices. you wouldn't know that the men said those rooms and wish we'd be leave for very bias, right? because women's potential is way be your own. just taken care of who i want to hear from some people at the back, right. let me get some reactions. come close to to me, please. i'm a decent analyst. nice. then it gives the ego will mind having you go right. remain home and woman was based on mississippi and nobody's still happy like that. the only reason why we have is stimulus loving women, the i to visit it because of the other. why that edition? okay, so quick question. i'm a woman here who's doing this job of asking questions, and moderating. i would say i'm independent. does that bother you?

yeah, it, well ma'am, you know, african culture must not be dependent. what if i told you that in my culture, women actually the heads of the home, that's the culture. you know, gods and that was said yeah. in the back onto the women that there was something missing. ok. so let me come back to the couple of the even holding hands. let me tell you we are feeling so single today on this this. so when you hear some of these a sessions, i can imagine that there must also be people in your family who also have quote, similar views. you committed this, this, the letters you work up and you know, wash the dishes, you're the man. you work up just get ready for work and move on, you know, and then you start to follow that. i don't get a while you do that. so we're going to alimony. and what is going to shop people? is that the moon you as a me, you benefit a lot if those the quality in the who your mother goes to visit you and dentist.

easy. washington dirty clothes. she's like, why is my phone rushing very close? let me hear from my dealing for a 2nd because we haven't spoken to her. you just want to investigate this idea of the head of a home because because no one has talked about partnerships in the contemporary. well that's we live in today. do we still need that classical head of a home? well, i have no interesting relationship anymore. it is because of what i went through when i was a relationship. so i had to quit 2019 because i had an a b will save baxter. but while it protective, and he was very abusive. so i went to it. i held my god like king. i have a look up in the morning and what so what sucks for bucks are in one he palm, we are here. we are 333, or 33333. i need to understand is what do you mean? put stokes, with what, what, what, what helped him dress up in the morning like

a child was what i went extra martin, you know, helping to my relationship. okay. and so i have a question for you as he was treating him as a king, as he was saying, which by the way, up salute lee. was he treating you as a queen? well, he was abusive. he was really abusive. so he has actually the mid mutual lost interest in having relationship. and when i see people are like, you know, quite pause and, you know, i feel like they're not being true to each other. yeah. okay. so obviously not all relationships which have that dynamic will end up in abuse. yeah, let's just be clear about that. however, it can, because these a power dynamic that has not been addressed. so how do you, how do you navigate that? so for me, people always put or have a negative connotation. when it comes to head,

are we not saying that the woman should be the one to address you is not, is that it will most responsibility to address you. if that is happening, that's abuse. knowing your rules is different from being abuse, but i'm saying that the i ascribe for men and women who hold them very clearly. okay. i mean that's your position and that's perfectly fine . we've had many things, right? including this additional list, we think that we mentioned even be educated. let me hear from, oh, i am so afraid to bring the microphone to you. but let's say you, let's say your point is a need that we go back to our tradition. uh, we must have missed it, but it was good to not have to do everything. and that's why we're having a debate. and as i've had assuming this and that it's all about why you want edit, cuz now we make best buy and i know what. okay, so let me just, are you working for example, and you must have female bosses. how do you respond to that?

oh, is having a bus mean a female is going to come to get it because i really don't see her being submissive . sometimes she just, she just was point, know how to man, and that is the high supposed to be. so what am i being a bus? the can be from abusive to me. oh, okay i, i honestly cannot believe that i am hearing these words in 2023 but but, but i, but i mean you'll, you'll, you'll view points, let me get one last one here with me. i am power one. yeah. etiquette telling me line this aside. did become better because come on with carrots, children in our rooms for 9 months, which is huge. so new on dustin relationship because we've gone with them for a name was when you come outside of a boat with them, it even be a hot spot even though we sometimes think of them as babies. yeah, alpha as boss is but when you come on the baby's man to support me, then what could be able to be the home and it society better. all right,

normally at this point of the debate, i would be asking people for solutions. but after hearing all the diverse opinions, i am not sure that there is such a thing as solutions. we started with a couple, i'd like to end with them. we've had so many view points here. do you think that the kind of relationship that the 2 of you have with some people might see us aspirational is under threats? we woke up in the morning as a man and getting ready for work. when you stand before that mirror, just the a human being. when you see your wife see a human being, she'd heard our way, man, you are going to be happy. if you bring the woman to that equal point, you're going to be happy because we are just equal and we have this agreement on odds and wish you went on with the hip. it depends the idea that we're pushing we have up, which is a better idea. we go about that. thank you. that is a beautiful place to rock this debates. we have had some very controversial remarks today, but also what

a nice way to wrap it up. think 1st and foremost of your partner as human the, the morning after the street, the beach in monrovia, i'm still preoccupied with the till peak compared to my hotel and they will be, will be a seems more conservative. unfortunately, the issue of the quality will continue to be heavy in my mind for a long time as we minutes to have a long way to go before we connect you to the quality. but right now, my focus is on an incredible person we've just learned about. so something interesting about the young lady here in the action is still using facebook is not incredible, and that's exactly where we found the story of, of the young e. here's the one we're hoping to meet at the airport just now. he's a librarian based in the you with a pilot who has made an insane journey across the atlantic when a single engine clay and the young, the flu from maryland, usa to liberia. you made several stops along the way, including canada, greenland,
