I'm used to having strong women around me. My mother was. My wife is. I like their strong mentality.
The clan is nothing more than a larger family, with its patriarchal chief as the natural head, and the union of several clans by intermarriage and voluntary connection constitutes the tribe.

Our family was like no one else's. My schoolfriends had fathers and grandfathers and uncles who did things, but in my family, women had been the doers.
I was raised by women.

I grew up in a house of forthright women.

I grew up in a family of strong independent women.
My wife loves elephants and compares me to a big bull elephant.
