Wow; I loved the interview with Dr Hakim; talking about the fluidity of gender roles & women having to become more adaptable to the prospect of us being in better educational & economic positions reminds me of an article I read once about the fluidity of gender roles in a number of pre-colonial (West) African societies, discussing how 'wife' and 'husband' were both titles that could be applicable to women, depending on the role they took within the home & access to resources. It was called 'The "Deviant" African Genders That Colonialism Condemned.'
