"ʻAʻole manaʻolana koʻu makuakāne!" Hiki ke lohe pinepine ʻia ia mau ʻōlelo mai ka poʻe ʻōpio e lilo i mea ʻai meaʻai. Ke ho'āʻo nei e pili i ka meaʻai meaʻai i loko o ka ʻohana, ʻo ka makua kāne ka mea paʻakikī loa e hōʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka mea maʻamau ʻo ia ka mea e kūʻē nui a kūʻē i ka leo nui.
Ma hope o ka lilo ʻana o nā hanauna ʻōpio o ka ʻohana i mea ʻai meaʻai, ʻo ka mea maʻamau ka hoʻolohe ʻana o nā makuahine i nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i ka meaʻai meaʻai, a i kekahi manawa lilo lākou i mea ʻai. Inā hoʻopiʻi nā makuahine, ʻo ia ka mea pinepine ma muli o ke olakino a no ka ʻike ʻole i ka meaʻai e kuke ai. Akā ʻaʻole nui nā makua kāne i ke ola weliweli o nā holoholona, a noʻonoʻo i ka manaʻo o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo he naʻaupō. No laila, no ke aha ke ʻano like ʻole?
Aia kekahi ʻōlelo a nā mākua i kekahi manawa i nā keiki liʻiliʻi ke hāʻule lākou: "ʻAʻole uē nā keikikāne nui!" No laila ua hana ʻokoʻa nā kāne a me nā wahine, a i ʻole ua aʻo ʻia nā kāne e hana pēlā? Mai ka manawa o ka hānau ʻana, hānai ʻia kekahi mau keikikāne e nā mākua i macho. ʻAʻole ʻoe i lohe i ka ʻōlelo ʻana o nā mākua i nā kaikamahine liʻiliʻi, "No laila ʻo wai ke kaikamahine nui a ikaika ma ʻaneʻi?" aiʻole "ʻO wai kaʻu koa liʻiliʻi ma ʻaneʻi?" E noʻonoʻo wale i nā huaʻōlelo i hoʻohana ʻia e wehewehe i nā keikikāne i kūpono ʻole i ka wehewehe ʻana o ka macho: sissy, weakling, a pēlā aku. ʻŌlelo maʻamau kēia inā ʻaʻole lawa ka ikaika o ke keiki a hōʻike paha i kona makaʻu i kekahi mea, i kekahi manawa inā pili paha ke keiki i kekahi mea. No nā keikikāne, aia nā ʻōlelo ʻē aʻe e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano o ke keiki kāne - pono ʻo ia e hōʻike i ke ʻano kūpaʻa, ʻaʻole ia he moa makaʻu. Ke lohe ke keikikāne i kēia mau ʻōlelo a pau i kona ola ʻana, lilo lākou i haʻawina mau i ka hana a ke kanaka.
Wahi a kēia mau manaʻo kahiko, ʻaʻole pono ke kanaka e hōʻike i kona mau manaʻo a me kona mau manaʻo, a ʻoi aku ka hūnā i kona mau manaʻo. Inā manaʻoʻiʻo ʻoe i kēia mea lapuwale, a laila pono ke kanaka e ʻoʻoleʻa a paʻa ʻole. ʻO ke ʻano o ia ʻano ʻano e like me ke aloha a me ka mālama pono e hōʻole ʻia e like me nā hōʻike o ka nāwaliwali. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i hānai ʻia nā kāne a pau ma kēia ʻano. Aia nā kāne mea ʻai meaʻai a me nā mea hoʻoikaika i nā pono holoholona i kūʻē maoli i ke kiʻi insensitive ma luna.
Ua kamaʻilio wau me nā kāne i kūpono i ka wehewehe ʻana o ka macho, akā ua hoʻoholo wau e hoʻololi. Makemake kekahi o koʻu mau hoa i ka hahai manu, hares a me nā holoholona hihiu ʻē aʻe. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, i kēlā me kēia manawa āna e nānā ai i nā holoholona āna i pepehi ai, ua hewa ʻo ia. Ua like kona manaʻo i ka wā i hōʻeha wale ai ʻo ia i kahi holoholona i pakele a make i ka ʻeha. ʻO kēia manaʻo o ka hewa i kau iā ia. Eia naʻe, ʻo kona pilikia maoli, ʻo ia ka ʻike ʻana i kēia manaʻo hewa he hōʻailona o ka nāwaliwali, ʻaʻole ia he kāne. Ua maopopo iā ia inā hoʻomau ʻo ia i ka pana a pepehi i nā holoholona, a i kekahi lā hiki iā ia ke hana me ka manaʻo ʻole o ka hewa. A laila e like ia me nā mea hahai holoholona ʻē aʻe. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike i ko lākou manaʻo, no ka mea, e like me ia, ʻaʻole lākou i hōʻike i ko lākou mau manaʻo. Ua hoʻomau kēia a hiki i ka haʻi ʻana o kekahi kanaka iā ia he mea maʻamau ka makemake ʻole e pepehi holoholona, a laila ua ʻae kaʻu hoaaloha iā ia iho ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia i ka hopu holoholona. Ua maʻalahi ka hopena - ua ho'ōkiʻo ia i ka hahai holoholona a me kaʻaiʻana i kaʻiʻo, no laila,ʻaʻohe mea e pono e pepehi i nā holoholona nona.
Nui nā makua kāne, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole lākou i paʻa i ka pū i ko lākou ola ʻana, aia nō i ka huikau like. Pono paha e ʻimi ʻia ka hopena o kēia pilikia ma kahi o ka moʻolelo o ke kanaka. ʻO nā kānaka mua he poʻe hahai holoholona, akā ʻo ka hahai holoholona ke ala e hāʻawi ai i ka meaʻai hou. ʻO ka hapa nui, ʻo ka hahai holoholona kahi ala kūpono ʻole e loaʻa ai ka meaʻai. Eia naʻe, ua pili ka pepehi ʻana i nā holoholona me ke kāne a me ka ikaika kino. Ma ka ʻohana Masai ʻApelika, no ka laʻana, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ke kanaka ʻōpio he koa holoʻokoʻa a hiki i kona pepehi ʻana i ka liona hoʻokahi.
ʻO ka poʻe meaʻai nui ka poʻe wahine nāna i hōʻiliʻili i nā huaʻai, nā hua, nā nati a me nā ʻanoʻano. ʻO ia hoʻi, ua hana nā wāhine i ka hapa nui o ka hana. (ʻAʻole i loli nui mai ia manawa?) Me he mea lā ua like ka hopu ʻana i nā hui pā kāne i kēia lā a i ʻole hele i nā pāʻani pôpeku. Aia kekahi kumu ʻē aʻe e ʻai ai nā kāne ma mua o nā wahine i ka ʻiʻo, kahi ʻoiaʻiʻo e puka mai ana i kēlā me kēia manawa aʻu e kamaʻilio ai me kahi hui o nā ʻōpio. Manaʻo maoli lākou ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula, kōkua iā lākou e kūkulu i ka ʻiʻo. Manaʻo ka hapa nui o lākou inā ʻaʻole i ʻiʻo, e nāwaliwali lākou i ke kino. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka elephant, rhinoceros a me gorilla nā hiʻohiʻona nui o ka mea e ʻai ai i ka meaʻai meaʻai wale nō.
ʻO nā mea a pau i luna nei e wehewehe i ke kumu o ka nui o nā meaʻai meaʻai i waena o nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne. Inā he wahine ʻōpio ʻoe a he mea ʻai meaʻai a mea ʻai paha, a laila e mākaukau no kēia ʻano ʻōlelo - me kou makuakāne. No ka mea he wahine ʻoe - ʻoi loa kou manaʻo. ʻAʻole ʻoe e noʻonoʻo pono - he ala ʻē aʻe kēia e hōʻike ai ʻaʻole pono ka mālama. ʻO nā mea a pau ma muli o ka manaʻo nui loa ʻoe - ʻo ia hoʻi, palupalu loa, ʻoluʻolu. ʻAʻole ʻoe ʻike i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo no ka mea no nā kāne ka ʻepekema. ʻO ke ʻano o kēia mau mea a pau, ʻaʻole ʻoe e hana like me ke kanaka "sane" (dispassionate, unemotional), akahele (insensitive). I kēia manawa pono ʻoe i kahi kumu maikaʻi aʻe e lilo ai a noho i mea ʻai meaʻai.
