Do not sympathise with their hungry-looking disposition, and wonder from where they get strength to trigger heavy guns and artilleries.

It is not just because as some who blame it on women, who are averse to change, but men, who scares entry of women into his territory. Even the most powerful lady in US, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has to say, "it is her wish to see a female US president in her lifetime." What stops men from accepting and sharing his privileges with women, his other half. Whenever I come across MCPs in job place, the first feeling will be that of frustration and despair for being born as a woman. There were so many occasions, I just wished to be a man. During my childhood, it was the wish to sit on roadside shops and chat like boys, who simply while away their time passing comments at girls. When I grew up a lit
