Equal rights deserved by all

I support the rights of women and that they must not be infringed at all.

I support the rights of women and that they must not be infringed at all.

While women's rights are protected, and ought to be, let us look at what consequences emanate from such protection.

Men feel they are no longer human beings worthy of living.

Women feel they can do without men.

God created both men and women for a good purpose.

Equality before the law deserves to be emphasised rather than over-emphasising the rights of one sector of the population .

I may sound against our mothers, but I am not.

We try to reverse everything done in the past, whether it was good or not. Too many families are drifting apart and there is no harmony anymore.

Everyone must be given their due. For all people to understand that they are equally important and that one cannot survive without the other, treat everyone equally. Do not discriminate at all.

The results of over protecting our beloved women are a lack of family values, a lack of harmonious equilibrium, high divorce rates, family feuds, abandoned children, and so on, to say the least.

We all deserve equal rights coupled with the maintenance of our moral values.

Let us not build a bridge between man and woman - they are inseparable.
