It reads thus: “Look how a couch was not available to the only woman appearing in the photo! They want females in the [political] party, but can’t provide any respect?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

#NayaShakti<\/a>, New (Female) Energy, pays little respect to women, & so r neither new, female nor female-friendly. https:\/\/t.co\/2GvqG98xEc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above displays of “manhood” by our male political leaders, and others, is really shameful, but who is talking and who is listening?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, as far as I am concerned, what our male political leaders, and those wielding considerable political and other powers, are involved in is a “display” of cojones to determine who has the bigger ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women, of course, as far as they are concerned, don’t have them! So obviously, they can’t participate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s for that reason and many others that Nepal needs a revolution…of the mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
