The Man Child

I grew up with the notion that the Man Child is superior, even though my parents try to make us feel we are equally important but you could see through the cracks of their actions that the Man Child is more important...
You see a lady that have 3 children all female and she is still trying to have another child all in the bid to have a Man Child to carry on the family name..

Many women have gone contrary to their doctor's advise and have lost their lives just becos of the Man Child.

Even society looks down on women and hands superiority to the Man Child on a platter,take for instance driving on the road and someone makes a careless remark "na woman naim make am dey drive like that" or a boy is crying they will say "why you dey behave like woman"
So many things to characterize the Man Child as superior..
In the days of my  mother and her mother,  they accepted that the Man Child is superior, infact embraced it... they took the concept of Submission in marriage to every area of their lives...
They submitted to men at work, marketplace et al... they squashed their ability to think and handed over their rights and authority to the Man Child. ..
Little wonder they started to pass it on from generation to generation  using phrases like "Don't you know he is a man"?
We were born in the notion and we grew up with the notion... sometimes I feel the pressure too I think "I want a man child so I can be respected" and I smile... This thoughts come all the time not out of willingness on my part but a subconscious feeling that creeps cos we were all born into that notion.

So this is 2015 what do you see?
I see more women taking up leadership positions in every strata of life..
I see the Man Child laid back, lazy and sometimes arrogant..more women are becoming self aware and are pushing the limits, more Men are becoming leeches and opportunists and trying to take advantage...
Things are begining to change, Women are becoming more bread winners, will it change the superior notion of the Man Child?I can't answer that...
