I'm not oppossed to women working, it's necessary in order to survive out in nature, but the men do absolutely nothing. They just sit around and talk about how great they are. At least her sons are working and hopefully don't turn out like their father.

  6. An total joy to watch, this is the kind of content youtube was made for, I would never otherwise get to see the world with all its divercity, richness and wonder
