    "content": "Members who are supportive of women alone, but even those who oppose. In fact, one of the reasons the two thirds gender rule failed is because there are some men who have not come to terms with women leadership. That is why we had a problem here. If most men understood why there was a need for the two-thirds gender rule, we would not have had issues with it. It is important that our female colleagues support more of these men who are opposed to the two-thirds gender rule and other women issues to be the ones to go for these trips, so that they can get more exposure. A lot of times it is about exposure. There are some people who still look at things from their village perspective. I remember a friend who one time we were discussing something and the wife was seated there, and he asked her why she was talking after him and contradicting him. I asked why he was responding like that and he said his father could not allow something like that to happen. This person was still in the mind-set of his father, who was very old. We had that conversation 20 years ago and his father had died 15 years before that time. The person still believes that the way the father was reasoning is the way he should reason. Many are in this House. I have listened to Members reason here and you see serious village in them. Even some of us grew up in the villages, but we have allowed the village to come a little out of us so that we can remain a bit civilised, but many of us here have refused to accept that."
