Egypt to have at least 64 women MPs after election (Cheryl)

I feel that this is something new, for the first time, egypt boosting women's profile in the male-dominating society by reserving at least 64 parliamentary seats for women who participated in the election.

Despite some comments that there is no need for women to strengthen the party which is already full of important and brilliant men, and women being a burden to the party, i still feel that it is not a bad thing to allow women to be in the party. It can prove to others that even though it has always been the men who had been managing the party well, women can do the same too and might even do it better.

This might also be a chance to prove to those who have the traditional mindset of "women are weak and should stay home to be just housewives, leave the rest to men" that women can do what men are doing now and do not underestimate women as whether it is men or women, we are all equal.

As quoted from the article, "The large size of the constituencies reserved for women is a financial and physical burden for the candidates," the NGO said, resulting in the "sidelining of social groups that are more in need of political representation." I feel that the NGO is prejudiced. Like i mentioned earlier, women should be given equal chances to fight for their rights. I believe that there is nothing that men can do which women cannot do.
