I'm not about to give those people a +1 and my people a -1. I don't want anjabis to get my citizenship(s) and financial contribution. I love my Somali boys and have met many fine, intellectual and well-adjusted ones. I am not fond of fixating on the disproportionate numbers of educated Somali boys to girls. I have met enough educated people and well to do ones to realize if you aren't a good person (male or female) and contribute nothing of substance to your people (Somalis) then you are more of a liability than a benefit. You must realize that Somali boys have the same intellectual capacity as the girls. Motivation, along with child rearing practices is where the divide occurs. Too much attention is fixated on the girls and the boys are given an abundance of freedom = inequality. The Somalis I met that were doing well male or female seemed to have supportive parents that did a wonderful job at policing them. Yes there is great benefit from being a benevolent dictator to your children. Also, who are you to say that Somali boys aren't on their level that seems like an elitist statement and western frame of reference you are coming from.
I do have another issue though, same goes for the gentleman. I find it disgraceful when they marry out and are financially and academically in check. I had one relative that had everything and married one and she was a fob, he gave her a double citizenship. We could have hooked him up with an intellectual beauty queen of a Somali girl, such is life. I honestly think its poetic justice, all these years of his hooyo saying Somali girls were bad and saying he'd go for indoyar actually came true. Be careful what you say to your children.
You probably have your father around in your life.
Most of the Somali girls that hate Somali males don't have aabo around and their brothers don't do anything to help their hooyo around the house. Plus, if they live in a Somali dominated metro area, they are victims to the uneven gender discrimination and double standards.
