Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni was not a lazy man, but it was remarkable to reflect how most men imagined that things like tea and food would simply appear if they waited long enough. There would always be a woman in the background--a mother, a girlfriend, a wife--who would ensure that those needs would be met.
Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, a diligent individual, exemplifies the tendency among many men to rely on women for essential daily tasks such as preparing meals and making tea. This observation illustrates a social norm where men often expect these necessities to materialize without addressing them themselves.
Furthermore, the insight highlights the significant role women play in fulfilling these domestic duties, often taken for granted. The narrative suggests that this reliance on women is so commonplace that it goes unnoticed, emphasizing the need for a deeper appreciation of their contributions in everyday life.
