Eminyakeni yamuva, abesifazane baye baqala ukungathí sina hhayi kuphela ngezingane, kodwa futhi mayelana nobudala obuzoba ngcono ekuzalweni kwengane. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ngokuqhubekayo kuzo zonke izigaba zokuphila, owesifazane ufuna ukunikeza ingane impilo kuphela, kodwa konke angayidinga kulokhu kuphila. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, wonke owesifazane ufuna ukuba nenzalo ephelele futhi alondoloze impilo yakhe.
Lokhu kusekelwa ucwaningo lwamuva lwesayensi. Ukuqhuba ucwaningo oluningi ukucacisa iminyaka ephelele yokuzalwa kwengane, ososayensi emhlabeni jikelele bachitha isikhathi esiningi nemali, kodwa abazange bafinyelele ekuvumelaneni ngale ndaba.
Into yukuthi ngamunye wabo, ezama ukukhomba le minyaka enhle kunazo zonke, usekela inkolelo yakhe ngalezo zindlela azibheka njengezibalulekile, ungacabangi nezinye, ezibalulekile ngokulinganayo.
Isibonelo, abanye bacabangela isimo somzimba wesifazane ngaphambi kokuzalwa kwengane, enye indima ebalulekile ihlukaniswa nenhlalakahle yezezimali, kanti okwesithathu ukuthuthukiswa kwengqondo.
Ake sibone ukuthi singanquma kanjani isikhathi esihle sokuzalwa kwengane.
Akukakude kakhulu, enye yezingcingo ezithandwa kakhulu besifazane yabuza lo mbuzo kuzivakashi zayo. Kuyamangalisa, kodwa eziningi izimpendulo zithintana nombono ososayensi eYunivesithi yaseTexas, abathi iminyaka efanelekayo yokuzalwa kwengane yokuqala yowesifazane ineminyaka engama-34 ubudala. Le mpendulo yanikezwa ngamalunga angama-47% wabesifazane abahlanganyele kulolu cwaningo.
Esikhathini sokucwaninga, leli qembu labososayensi lifunde ngokuningiliziwe izindaba ezingu-3000 zabesifazane abahlukene ngezigaba ezahlukene ubudala futhi okungenani babe nengane eyodwa ngaleso sikhathi. Njengoba bezifundele kahle izindaba zabo futhi bazijwayele iziguli ngokwabo, kanye nokuhlola izimo zezimpilo zabo, izithakazelo neminye imingcele eminingi, ososayensi baye bathola iziphetho zabo. Omunye wabaholi bephrojekthi wachaza ukuthi sekuyiminyaka engu-34 owesifazane engagcini nje ukulungele ukuzalwa kwengane, usondela kulo mcimbi ngokucophelela. Abesifazane kule minyaka yobudala, ngokuyinhloko, sebevele benemisebenzi ehlelekile futhi ehlelekile, ebenza bavikeleke ngokugcwele kwezezimali. Ngokungafani namantombazane osemusha, abesifazane abanjalo, belungiselela ukuba babe ngumama, hhayi kuphela ukuhlela ngokucophelela ukukhulelwa, balungiselela umzimba wabo, balandele ngokucophelela impilo yabo nokudla. Singasho ukuthi kulaba besifazane beminyaka yobudala, ukusimama kokomama akugcini nje ukuvuka, kodwa kuhloswe ngombala onobudlova!
Esinye isici esibaluleke kakhulu, abesifazane baseneminyaka yobudala eningi banalo ubuhlobo obude nobuhlala isikhathi eside nomlingani oyedwa ozocansi, okuthinta kakhulu umama wengane ozayo, ngakho-ke ingane. Akukho okuthobisa owesifazane ozimisele ukubeletha ingane, njengokuzethemba esikhathini esizayo kanye nokuba khona kwehlombe elinokwethenjelwa, ongayethemba ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Ngandlela-thile, ososayensi beyunivesithi efanayo bathola ukuthi umzimba wesifazane owabeletha ingane yokuqala eneminyaka engu-34 ubudala uneminyaka engaphansi kwengu-14 engaphansi kwalawo owaba ngumama oneminyaka engu-18.
Kunezinye izizathu, ngokuqondene nalesi sizukulwane somama ozayo. Phakathi nokukhulelwa, umzimba uvuselela izinqubo eziningi eziphilayo emzimbeni, kubandakanya umsebenzi wobuchopho. Ngakho-ke, owesifazane oye wanquma ingane ngaleso sikhathi kunciphisa ingozi yokunciphisa umbono nokukhumbuza inkumbulo, esongela abantu abaphila nabo abavele benabantwana.
Noma kunjalo, ososayensi abaningi bathi ukuzalwa kwengane kule minyaka kungaba engaphephile. Kusukela emva kweminyaka engama-30 ukuzala komzimba wesifazane kuqala ukwehla, owesifazane owenzele ingane yokuqala eneminyaka engu-34 kungenzeka ukuthi ubhekane nezinkinga ezinkulu, ezama ukukhulelwa okwesibili, noma ngeke akwazi ukubeletha nhlobo.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwakunjani, futhi umama - isikhathi esijabulisayo kakhulu ekuphileni kwanoma yimuphi owesifazane, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uneminyaka engakanani.
