the jobs and the offices and big jobs um on the z off. um let's say the read to z. i always demand out, you know, the always the ones in the offices either that's women so much um and i don't think it's because of the less the qualification. i think a lot of women are qualified. a lot of them i think we hold is a lot as if i have high school graduates women a significantly under represented in all areas and fees, high levels of gender inequality, which is comfortable to countries like a funny son. and he t, the number of men holding a uni, visits degree, is twice as high as that to women. even when women study, they often struggle to find employment and may end up working in jobs like those in this market. we're almost at the end of our shopping trip actually of the ends. but oh no, you explaining to me the role of women in this tired see,

12:35 pm
a way some written on the thing nice to be piece of this function. like 3 to the most of what we say with these to be just yourself and the to hello and welcome back to the 77 percent strict debate this week. we are a library of the 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. want to find out why,
12:36 pm
who better to accept this question for me that some late barriers. 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, let me start. 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 split 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
12:37 pm
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. or let me tell you, i'm laughing because the women behind me, i'm really sighing. you sucked in something then? yeah. what i would like you to complete it's fees. so you started by telling me women's responsibilities in their relationship. i had turned over to one. do all the health choice? know i said, most of the risk response, most of your hus choice is the woman's responsibilities. so what does the man do then? you know, i 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
12:38 pm
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 taking charge of the room and doing the choices. you would know that the men said those rules and wish we believe was 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 close to, to me please. i'm gonna try to listen to this nice then against the ego woman having you go right to remain home and woman was based on mississippi and nobody's still happy like that. the reason why we have have similes 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?
12:39 pm
a 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. and then back on to 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 quotes similar views be committed to assess 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 while you do that. so we're going to alimony. and what is going to shop people? is that in the mood you as a me, you benefit a lot if those equality in to your mother goes to visit you and dentist,
12:40 pm
easy. washington dirty clothes. she's like, why is my phone rousing daddy clothes, let me hear from my dealing for a 2nd because we haven't spoken to the hey, 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 uh i had an a b will save back from there. 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 in what so what sucks for bucks are in? what it bob? really weird. sweet sweet, sweet, sweet, 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 i went extra martin,
12:41 pm
you know, helping my relationship. okay. and to 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? well, he was abusive. he was really abusive. so it has actually to mid me until lost interest in having relationship. and when i see people are like, you know, couples and then 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 headphone,
12:42 pm
we're not saying that there will much would be the one to address you. it's not, it's not the 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 am i, who were done very clearly. okay. i mean that's your position and that's perfectly fine. we've had many things, right? including the traditionalist who thinks that 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. let's say your point is in need of go back to our tradition all when it was missing. but it was good to not have to do everything. and that is why we haven't been in the lobby assuming this, but it's like why you wanna edit, cuz now we make best buy and they know what. okay, so let me just, are you working? for example, and you must have female bosses. how do you respond to that?
12:43 pm

12:44 pm
normally at this point of the debate, i 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 that 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, she'd hurt our way. men. you are going to be happy. if you bring that woman to the equal point, you're going to be happy because we're just equal and we have this agreement on audius' and wish when we've been here, they've been to the idea that we're pushing well, 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
