A women's degree

In a recent interview, the PM's wife Datin Seri Rosmah mentioned that women should strive to get at least degrees, particularly highlighting mothers.

Well, just wishing to point out one fact. Most women are, particularly in the urban areas. The fact of the matter is, we are now seeing more women with degrees instead of those with kids.

In fact, I would think that we even have more women striving to obtain a post graduate degree in comparison to men.

I don't think it's a problem for women to excel in the education field since in my college days most of them outnumbered me and were kicking my educational rear end every other quiz or test or finals.

However, I do think that women are receiving a bad rep in terms of employment though the reasons may vary according to profession and job scope.

But the sad part is, we're not even seeing women receiving equal treatment in the government, particularly in this nation. Just look at Parliament and tell me how many women MPs we have.

How many women MPs were candidates? How many women MPs in the government were selected to become Ministers?

How many women were voted onto the PAS Central Committee during the recent Muktamar?

The inequality of treatment amongst our upper echelons of governance and political parties itself speaks loads to the people down below, especially when we now have countries in the Middle East allowing women more favorable places in their parliaments.

Let's face it.

This is a nation that would probably give way to a closeted gay guy in comparison to an all out full fledged feminist who can care for the community just as well.
