    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened to what I was going to say, then I would be fully in order. So, you could just be patient. I know that he has a heart that is geared towards gender sensitive but it is only the wearer of the shoe who knows where it pinches. Because he is a man, he will look at the glass half empty and I will look at it as half full. The reason I am saying that is because of years of marginalization and oppression of the women folk. Very many women will still feel that they cannot apply for the position of the Chief Justice even when they are qualified. Over and above that, many women will think that you must have political connections in order to get these positions but the men will not think that because of their nature. If men came here and found this water, they will not request to be given. They will grab it. However, as women, we are taught to sit back and request. So, unless we re- socialize ourselves--- This is a debate that I cannot go into today. So, I thank the Chair for saying that, at least, there is water. I am happy except that I am seeing it half full. Therefore, I encourage women to move the number of applicants from 20 percent to 100 per cent in future so that we can also one day ask: “Why are the men not applying?” We will be happy to encourage our brothers to apply."
