[MTC Global] [Discussion] Is our curriculum anti-women?

An Excerpt from an Article in Indian Express worth circulating and discussion.............

"Is our curriculum anti-women?" Woman power was writ large on the stage when actor-politician Khushbu Sundar and Members of Parliament Kavitha Kalvakuntla, Supriya Sule and Sushmita Dev drew attention to the fact that few female freedom fighters were talked about in our textbooks and that sex education still remained a hush-hush affair. The stereotypical portrayal of women doing 'soft' jobs still continued and needed an immediate change with more contemporary role models to look up to, they concluded. Even women's reservation was discussed, with a student in the audience questioning why women were only seeking 33 per cent and not 50. Sule quipped, "Give us 50, and we'll take 100!"
