it's just women, why has Africa always been a shithole?

I don't know, maybe check where the money people send to help Africa actually goes.

The UK has an obvious racket around it that I've previously talked about.

BBC : "Please help Africa" -> Comic Relief (run by the BBC) -> donations from well-meaning people end up at either the Kering Foundation, a women's charity or the UN.

It's deep in the small print for most charities that the recipient is determined by the charity, not by what they say in the marketing. Africa never received that aid. Women did.

Even international aid to Africa is conditional on UN "Sustainability Goals" around "gender equality".

I'd put a lot of money on Africa being deliberately held down so women's shady NGOs can keep stealing the cash people send over there.
