Hillary Rodham Clinton: A tribute to women

In a male-dominated world order, you have to count the number two and three women. It is an indictment of democracy and 'civilisation'. Even in the greatest country, serious women could only play second fiddle.PHOTO: COURTESY

By the time you read this, Hillary Rodham Clinton might well have become the first female president of the United States. Symbolically, it should be the ultimate trophy for women in the political arena.

If this happens, I should prostrate before my daughter, beg for mercy and apologise on behalf of all men for having treated womenfolk as inferior for centuries. Gentlemen, with President Clinton, women will have taken over the world.
