That statement is incomplete, should read '
Women do not need men to provide'
The reason being even the one who wants to raise a child will still go to a man to get the spermatozoa, what has changed is the fact that with empowerment of women there is a class of women who would rather stay single and raise kids alone that have to Nyeri their husbands because they cannot provide for the family, live in the bar, has a string of women and kids all over the place, or is himself a batterer.
Two reasons that i personally believe warrant a woman leaving the husband
1. He beats you
2. He cheats on you (due to the fact that this endangers your life and health, otherwise our fore-parents lived with this and it was well)
Ni kujidanganya kusema you dont need a man or woman for that matter because you will still get someone to fulfill that need unless ofcourse you are gay, whether it is a bar-maid ama wale walikuwa wanafanya CSR Thika.....
