Women presidential candidates

Women presidential candidates

From Kompas

According to recent media reports, intellectuals -- especially
men -- got the jitters with the emergence of a woman who was
nominated a presidential candidate. The reason was unclear, but
they looked quite furious. Under the pretext of religion, they
opine publicly that women are not suitable and do not have the
capacity of being a president/head of state.

What they are doing is none other than degrading women. At the
same time, they expect us to return to primitive life. It would
be a regression. Moreover, it would be a lack of appreciation for
our mothers.
