"content": "now, based on the current performance of women leaders, men will come here to fight for the two-thirds gender principle because they will need it. We are taking over as they watch. Therefore, the two-thirds gender principle is not about protecting the space of women in politics. It is about ensuring that we protect the space of both women and men. Our school-going children are operating under very different circumstances from ours. They also need to learn that we must have a balanced society for us to prevail. When we were young and could visit Parliament, for the longest time, the red logo up there read: “For the Welfare of Society and the Just Government of Men.” It was later amended to the ‘…of the people’. This is to demonstrate further that governance and leadership is not just about men, but about people. Therefore, people is both men and women. We need to start accepting that fact."
