Women are increasingly choosing themselves: their careers, their freedom, their peace. And the declining birth rate is being held up as evidence of a societal emergency. But what if it's actually evidence of progress?

MacGyver Mukwevho, better known as MacG, host of South Africa's most-streamed podcast, Podcast and Chill, went on air and giggled about the fact that his wife has to ask him, repeatedly, to wipe the toilet seat. He wasn't embarrassed. He was proud. And that tells you everything you need to know about men.

The "women only want men with a good future" argument gets thrown around constantly, usually to paint women as gold diggers. But that framing completely misses the mark.

The claim that foreigners don't pay tax and therefore shouldn't access public hospitals gets repeated so often that people have started believing it. But this argument is not just false, it's a massive distraction.
