Somalis are on the extreme opposite side of the spectrum though. Why is it OK for a Somali woman (or man) to just up and go to Somalia for weeks or months long vacations, leaving their spouse and school-aged kids behind? They'll either go alone (to Somalia for months) or with friends (to other countries). This is too much freedom and shows a lack of discipline, no respect and extreme selfishness. If you want to go on vacation, take your family with you. They do it to run away from their families and responsibilities.
