I believe the idea of this article has the right intentions; however I cannot say that I completely agree with it. Being a female, I would obviously want women to have the same opportunity as men to be educated. Besides my bias, there are many reasons that this should be the case. I understand the reasoning behind educating men first in order to allow women to be educated as well. This reasoning does not make it okay though. If Afghanistan and other countries allow this thinking to lead their decisions, they will teach women that they are lesser than men. By educating men before women, the men will just become more sexist in their thinking, even if only subconsciously. In all regions of the world women need to be educated that they are equal to men and neither sex should be superior to the other. If we place men in front of women in education than all areas of life will show this sexism as well.

Women are no different than men and we should not put male education ahead of female education for many many reasons. I thought this country wasen’t sexist anymore, I guess I was wrong…..

I couldn’t agree with you more. I had a job that was considered a man’s job and while I was accepted by most people, there were still those few (men) who let their feelings be known and refused to deal with me.

I live in Canada.

Hallo Fleur I recognise what you say in your ‘it takes small steps to get started’ but I think that ‘drastic steps’ have to be taken to break through that thick wall of males in those countries who think it is O.K. for their wives to be obdient and who want to keep them obedient as if their women are children. But most of all it is the women themselves who need to start to revolt against their suppression with as one method ‘keep them stupid’ and that ‘in name of God’ makes me furious.

By the way this author has written other very good articles for the Rights of Women to be found on Internet as well.

I agree. I am a woman and it takes small steps to get started. It has never worked out well to try drastic changes on any country or nationality or religion. It doesn’t work. Education has to be the key first. Respect comes from education and with that open minds begin to unfold the urgent need to survive as a culture and as the human race. Good article. I look forward to reading more.
