For every young woman that dies, potentially several future children will not arrive.
Why do we allow our potential mothers to go into danger?
The propaganda that, for decades now, has taken away the obligation of women to be wives and mothers has resulted in not a single western European ethnic group having the fertility level to replace its numbers – by a long way.
You would think that this would be the number one concern for the men – but no, they accept the rights of women to do the jobs of men without the concern that only women can bear children and that society should support the womens' right to be mothers rather than pressurise them to be breadwinners, denigrating the role of the “housewife”.
Men may also reflect on how preferable it was to have a wife for life who would bear their children as opposed to unstable casual relations – and how much better this was for communities and societies – stable family units used to be the foundation blocks of our communities.
There are good reasons why other cultures jealously protect their womenfolk yet you, who have let your own culture go, regard their constraints on women as excuses to demonise them.
Now on a lighter slant – while Pakistan has been criticised for the law that wifes must let their husbands have sex every four days, if demanded – do any of you remember the latest date that “restitution of conjugal rights” was demanded by a court in England? Would the late '60s surprise you?
