Something that most women in my world have never owned, let alone use or worse, believe in. Or a washing machine ... not to mention a dryer! Not a hair dryer mind you, but a clothes dryer. Think of all those lovely little gadgets that people in the first world just cannot do without, and then take a woman from my world and the best they will do is look at the woman from the first world and automatically become subservient and wonder. Woman in the first world is equipped with all these gadgets to make her life easier, fewer children, a voice in what happens in the house, consultation for planning purposes, access to insurance, policies - a clear life plan, from education, health, welfare, wealth creation to information and support.
Women in my neck of the woods are expected to be the washing machine, the dryer, the hoover, the cooker, the microwave oven and they get one wonderful gadget as a sign of affection - a cellphone which will only be used to receive instruction from yours truly and some more fortunate friends who manage to forage enough air time to make life relatively easier by - gossiping. Just look at what has taken over even from the television - Facebook. Zuckerberg now becomes Zuckerbad for influencing women in my neck of the woods to explore and experiment online for the very first time in their lives, via the phone! Wait and watch what will happen.
