I have come across Nepali men, in person, on social media and elsewhere, who, when discussing gender issues, display a very very remarkable lack of knowledge and understanding of the issues faced by our girls and women.

But, sadly, NOT everyone seems to think so.
Our leadership might think that they can mislead and fool all the people all the time. They can only fool some people all the time.
