    We talk regularly of empowerment, empowering women in society/business et al.Few mention empowering women in the home.Why is that? #263Chat

    @SirNige #263chat. Addressing women rights and educating people on equality. Problem is culture stil plays a key when it comes to gender

    @SirNige That is a very important question. How is there mutual respect without empowerment in all realms? #263Chat

    @SirNige If people do not assign archaic so-called traditional roles this is possible #263Chat

    @SirNige No one ever asks if a man can "have it all" why is that? #263Chat

    @E_Phi_I @SirNige granting equal rights does not mean granted equal opportunities. #263chat. women are still undermined

    @SirNige #263Chat it seems that having a womb has been women's biggest curse! This question can just be asked of men too

    @SirNige in terms of social empowerment men need to stop leaning on culture in order to justify continued disempowerment of women #263Chat
