It may be true that women are truly the stronger sex. After all, in circumstances where children and family are threatened by the curse of poverty, women have stepped up to the plate and become natural martyrs, or heroines.

Unafraid to live a life of sacrifice, willing to do anything to nurture and nourish her young, and even her mate, the woman afflicted with poverty does not cringe and try to escape. She does not turn to drink and gambling, and abusive behaviour just to prove superiority. She just plods on, unwilling to give up, protective and mothering to the end.

And men must realise this, if only to better prepare for a great shift in dominance in the family, in the community, and in the nation. Women in poor communities are taking over. Pretty soon, they will simply take over.
