This article doesn’t take into account no one actually “working” 80 years from now when robots have taken over and everyone has guaranteed universal basic income since there won’t be any jobs to do.

Not necessarily. You're making a reasonable inference from countries which cultures and view on family were/are strikingly different from Africa's.

Family in Africa is not just a survival tool. It crosses elaborated spiritual, political, social and cultural paradigms.
I don't know, fam... I think human nature will prevail...

A lot of women have the desire to help out their parents/family financially, but cannot do so as they've come to rely on their husband, often times the sole earner, to provide. That dollar is stretched so thin, barely any makes it back to whom she wants to help.

You provide these same women with the skills, and opportunity to earn their own income, and it's going to be mighty hard asking them to compromise the food they're putting on the table for their family.

And to be honest, I'm okay with this. It forces men to up their game, as women will demand more from a partner. Couples will have less children, but devote more time, and resources to that child to ensure a better future, and so on...

These views are stemming from my own community (Somali) where the fertility rates were 6+ (as of 2017). I can't wait for this trend to reverse for the better :yeshrug:

guess we gotta take women rights away. :yeshrug:
I’d slit a sorry a$$hole’s throat b4 i ever got forced to buss it open and slave away for a dude I didn’t want. Human rights are worth dying over.

If humanity is THIS stupid that they can’t figure out that equality and egalitarian benefits for both sexes is the way forward, then we don’t deserve to exist. Natural selection at its finest.
This is nothing more than the world righting itself from imbalance. The golden rule of do unto others as you would have them do unto you is in full effect.

Adapt or die.

I definitely get you.

I don't know much about Somali communities. I know that an aspect of the traditional African woman is her role as a merchant though, to this day, in West Africa. It's very different from the Western woman struggle, and also what's fueling my views.

Womanhood and its relationship with family on the continent is particular (https://www.thecoli.com/threads/feminism-gender-motherhood-and-africa.791181/), and if there is one human nature, I definitely think it operates very differently according to the cultures under which it expresses itself.
