It's patriarchal and condescending. It is quite often the case that "help" in one direction causes unforeseen (or misunderstood) consequences in other ways - often long-term, negative consequence.<br /><br />I watched a old documentary on family relationships, primarily among Amazonian and certain West African peoples.

Looking forward to your thoughts!<br /><br />Best,<br />AllysonAllyson Reaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12472596668510622508noreply@blogger.com
