    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. While nothing might be out of order in the dress code chosen by the female Senators, Article 27 is clear as Sen. George Khaniri has said about discrimination. However, beyond that, I am struggling to understand, and I hope one of the female Members might let us know how the headscarf translates into the vote. This is because in this House as legislators, what we need to do is to bring the Bill and vote for it. We are struggling to understand the connection between attire and the actual vote that is needed. Finally, Madam Speaker, I was an hon. Member of the last Parliament. I am afraid that our female Members are getting into the same trap. The reason why the National Assembly at that time did not vote in support of the two-thirds gender rule is because female Members made it about the female gender. In fact, I was an honorary member of KEWOPA as a man because we were supporting their cause. However, as long as they make it us versus them, men versus women, immediately you bring it to the House, there will be a divide and the numbers will never be enough to pass it. So I would just like to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
