Blissfully ignorant about women's woes

Ignorance is never bliss and most of us have learned this painful aspect of reality in one way or another. Yet, some people prefer to be blissfully ignorant and think that is the only way to get on with life.

One such example of this came from Rosmah Mansor, the wife of Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

At the launch of the ‘End Violence Against Women’ campaign by Soroptimist International Region of Malaysia (SIROM), Rosmah said that women sometimes put themselves in danger of violence by walking alone in the dark and deserted areas. She concluded that such acts invited danger therefore women should always be accompanied when walking in such areas or avoid them altogether.

Words of wisdom? Hardly! To begin with, Rosmah through her rhetoric has clearly shown how out of touch with reality she is. Her inability to understand why violence is perpetrated against women resulted in her immature remarks, unfortunately time and again.
