Thank you :) whale vote or not, i enjoyed reading your comment.
Women are half the population. And if they are suppressed, then you are killing half the productivity. With the gradual increase of women in positions of power, things are improving and men are resisting that change. But it isn't just the east vs west.
Guess which developed country has never had a woman as the leader of their country! India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka have all had women presidents, prime ministers, state leaders.
Though coming from a developing country (in terms of the position of women in society) one has to be doubly aggressive with the charge to bring about overall equality for women. Gender stereotypes are the first thing that needs to be dismantled.
Since i spend much of my time on the road, i bring an everyday example from the road. If we see a bad male driver, we call him a fool. But when a female driver is bad, we label them all with, 'oh women drivers, what do you expect.'
Ha! You are absolutely correct! Stereotyping is worldwide!
I think the US will have a woman president soon. I hope she will be like Margaret Thatcher, I liked her.
