Having heard of men struggling to understand and accept that women nowadays are totally independent and may in many ways “not need any thing from men anymore.” Can you let us in on your thought about the status of women in South Africa – challenges, opportunities, weaknesses and threats – especially in relationships (with men or any lover)?

This may enlighten men, so when you put your points across, do bear in mind that intention (educating men about women of today). In addition, do not point out only ills by men, provide alternatives and propose possible solution. Can we as women do this in a style, in a way that shares and empowers rather than obliterate men – they are still our husbands, boyfriends, brothers, fathers, uncles, colleagues and so forth.
