they switch you right. i know there's a way, some route on the thing. nice to be like 3 to the most of what we say with these to be just yourself and the hello and welcome back to the seventy's of epithets trick debate. this week we are a library of the capital of monroe via 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 he comes through a magic relationship,

particularly the applicant context. and today we want 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 insurance. hello. thanks for joining us. so let's start with the basic question of your day to day when you wake up in the morning giving me a little clue about who does what in the morning, what's your morning routine, like since how you're really signing themselves? well, thank you. um in the morning i wake up around 55 like 530 a get my kids 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 bidding the little girl while she has to be ferrying cobra or something. so yes, 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 in our african 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 saying 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 have to remember to 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 man 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, the 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 give the responsibilities of a woman take in charge of the firm and doing the choices, you would know that the men said those rules and wish we'd be lead for very bias, right? because women's potentially 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 closer to me, please. i'm a decent analyst. nice then against the ego woman having you go right. remain home and woman was based on mississippi and nobody still happy like that. the reason why we have similes loving women, the i to visit that 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 by so culture in our 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. so when you hear some of these a sessions, i can imagine that there must also be people in your family who also have hold similar views. they told me that this, this the letters you woke up and, you know, washed the dishes, you're the man you woke up, just get ready for work and move on, you know, and then you start to follow that. i don't get a was you do that? so i woke up early morning and what is going to shop people? is that the moon you as a me, you benefit

a lot. if those equality in the who your mother comes to visit you and dentist, easy. washington dirty clothes. she's like, why is my phone? well, she's 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 5 know what? while it protective and he was very abusive. so i went to it. i held my god like king. i have to look up in the morning and what so what sucks bucks are in? what it will be? i mean, we have to be trained to we have to be sweet. sweet, sweet sweet. i need to understand is what do you mean put stokes?

but what, what, what, what helps him dress up in the morning like a child was what, when 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, absolutely, was he treating you as a queen as well? he was abusive. he was really abusive. so he has actually to mid me until lost interest in having relationship. and when i see people are like, you know, couples 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 bring, how do you navigate this? so for me, people are always brought our 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 abused, 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 rights including this additional is to think that's we mentioned, even be educated. let me hear from, oh, i am so afraid to bring the microphone to you. but let's hear you say your point is in need of go back to our tradition. all we must have missed it, but it was the record on that have to do everything. and that's why we're having to debate and, but it's like, how do you send me this? but it's all about why you want edit, because now we made us find a new home. okay,

so let me just, are you working for example? and you must of feel boss is how do you respond to that? oh, of 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 well not being a bus that 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 to become better because come on with kyra children in our rooms for 9 months, which is huge. so new on dustin relationship because we've gone with them for 9 months when they come outside of a boat within it. even the hoss wanting to, oh, we sometimes think of them as babies. yeah. alpha as boss is already come on, the babies managed to support. we mean,

then what could be able to be the home and it society better. all right, normally at this point of the debate would be asking people for solutions. but after hearing all the diverse opinions, i'm 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 on the threats? we woke up in the morning as a man and getting ready for work. when you stand before that mirror, jesse a human being, when you see your wife see a human being sheed her that way, man, you are going to be happy. if you bring the woman dot equal point, you're going to be happy because we're just equal and we have this agreement on odds and wish when we've been here. 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 topic compared to my hotel and they will be, will be a seems more conservative. unfortunately, the issue will be quality will continue to be heavy in my mind for a long time as we meant to have a long way to go before we can achieve true equality. 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 the you'll need. 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 a new same journey across the atlantic on a single engine clay and the young, the flu from mary land usa to liberia. you made several stops along the way,
