Reservations for Women: In Parliament, Judiciary, Corporates and Government Jobs

Article here. Excerpt:

'In recent times, there has been a lot of noise over the issue of reservation of women's seats in Parliament. Some existing male parliament members even went to the extent of threatening suicide in Parliament, if the women's reservation bill is passed. The male parliament members are sure that many of them will lose their seats and become politically irrelevant, if the women's reservation bill is passed. Some smaller parties consider it as a conspiracy to finish up smaller regional political parties.

What do men's rights activists think about women's reservations in parliament? From their perspective, they have no trust in any woman parliamentarian. For them, if some fifty women in parliament can bulldoze an extremely biased and badly drafted domestic violence law into being enacted into law, then 200 women in parliament will lead to many more biased laws and serious discrimination of men, which can result in a complete gender war. Such a conflict will not only harm men, but also harm women, children and entire the society.'

I didn't read the article, but how does this fit in" "From their[MRA's] perspective, they have no trust in any woman parliamentarian"

Gee guys, I never heard too many people on here say you can't trust any woman (unless they were saying it tongue in cheek). And Glenn Sacks and Warren Farrell are definitely not of that opinion. What gives?
