Theyre free to contest if they win fine ..
The mentality that they have to win because they're womwn is what I dont support.

Trump is a very smart man,
He knew Iran will block oil flow from the middle east,so

They kidnapped Maduro to control Venezuela's oil,
So to hell with Iran and middle east
Oil prices has not changed in north and south America
Only in Nigeria what a shame

Women in power behave themselves like goddesses.
I'd rather work under a male boss who is a hardcore than a female boss who is a gentle woman.
The possibility of having one nice female boss is 99.99999 out of 100.
Women are not good for leadership,they belongs to Za order room.

Sometimes participation itself is the victory. The South-West shows progress in women’s emancipation, while the North still reflects deeper socio-cultural limits.
