I was thinking... wow what a toxic culture that she has to be both a father, a son, a daughter, and a mom. Then as the story went on I realized that's your typical Somali household... I'm so ashamed.
The most fucked up part is, even though Xalimo's are basically the bread winners, workers, electricians, handy man in their household to lazy ass men... they still don't get respected as equals and deal with extreme sexism from our culture.
Imagine women doing this being called the "weaker sex" or less intelligent.
At least other cultures when they oppress women expect them to do less work physically or financially... in the Somali households Xalimo's have to provide, work, and still get treated like Qashin.
Somali women are not the main breadwinners neither do they have more lucrative careers than Somali men, y'all have been running with this narrative for too long. Anytime I ask for receipts, the anecdotes come out.
