She is a highly respected South African woman who has been carrying out some excellent work regarding violence against women for the United Nations for the past 5 years.
Her CV is enviable:
Rashida Manjoo holds a part-time post as a Professor in the Department of Public Law of the University of Cape Town. She is the former Parliamentary commissioner of the Commission on Gender Equality (CGE) in South Africa, a constitutional body mandated to oversee the promotion and protection of gender equality. Prior to being appointed to the CGE she was involved in social context training for judges and lawyers, where she has designed both content and methodology during her time at the Law, Race, and Gender Research Unit, University of Cape Town and at the University of Natal, Durban.

She has held numerous visiting professorships including most recently at the University of Virginia, in the United States. She served as the Des Lee Distinguished Visiting Professor at Webster University, USA where she taught courses in human rights, with a particular focus on women's human rights and transitional justice. She was the Eleanor Roosevelt Fellow with the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School (2006-07) and also a clinical instructor in the program in 2005-6.

I, for one, am pleased she has been let out of the kitchen .
she's right though. sexism made mp's fiddle their expenses. harriet harperson said so.;-)
well she certainly must have done a great job on south African law. after all, its admired world-wide, isn't it? lol.
TTT. That is a typical remark from a male chauvinist pig.
Well, speaking as someone who is more well travelled around the world than her and as someone who probably meets more males from other cultures in a year than she does in a lifetime, I would say that she doesn`t know what she is talking about.
There's none so blind as them that will not see.
Graham - that`s the thing though. I do see - with my own eyes and experiences as opposed to reading a list of statistics.

come on jeza even you can see the gag, surely!?

Anyway I think it's a bit off, tarring the whole place with the same brush. Of course RSA is shining example to the world isn't it?
I see no gag, just a depracatory sexist comment, TTT.

That doesn't mean I agree with her.
Big sense of humour failure on here. I laughed when I read it, surely I can't be the only one?
At the OP I mean.

It seems the humour bypass ray is switched on for most tonight LB!
spell it out,,,,,women/kitchen :)
Having been exposed as a MCP, refuge is taken in the pathetic claim that it's all a joke - how feeble and cowardly.

er canary, no! read the 2nd sentence of my post at 21:23. My obvious, even to you, gag, preceeds my "how dare she" type comment. I made a funny but really I'm angry with the woman. I'm not backing out of anything.
