The lack of male responsibility starts as early as the time a couple is trying to conceive. Of course if a woman becomes pregnant easily she is praised and the families are happy. However, if she is unable to become pregnant, she, the woman, is held responsible. Although it’s true there are cases when a woman’s infertility can be cause for concern, 33% of the time it’s actually the man who is either infertile or has a very low sperm count. But in African cultures, rarely does a man speak up and admit that he could be the cause of the problem.
