"If you know that you will struggle when you get married, stay away. If having children will bring you problems, stay away."

In the protest, Mr Birmeh also advised men not to pay the school fees of young ladies and expect something in return such as marriage.

He also advised men not to help a lady find a job because it will eventually create problems.

"Women who are giving their fellow women pressure, please be humble. Women who pressure their men to buy luxury items for them also create problems," he said.
