You seem to be a bright person on this thread, so I challenge you to do some thought experiments. I'm serious here. I think good dialog and understanding may result as well as developing some method of working through the complex problem of dealing with preconceived notions.

The challenge is, examine the Sub-Sahara family structure of Africa and compare that with western culture as we have known it for the last two centuries. Examine the role of the man and the woman in this process. Campare the resultant society with the western society. Try to come to some conclusions. This will most likely take some effort in research. It may take anyone on this thread several days or weeks to develop and decent understanding of the examination. There is no right or wrong at this point, only degress of understanding. This is the sort of stuff I do all the time when I am not inventing the next high tech widget.

degress S/B degrees, so much for spell check.

Thank you for the compliment. I will seriously consider your challenge. But, you must understand, that I am a typical female in the way I like to spout off with my own ideas'. Research would mean actually thinking and considering another view other than my own. Again, difficult. LOL
