Women shun politics for a reason

I WISH to respond to Frank McGlynn’s sad display of male ignorance (Letters, May 19).

He thinks logic and reason are male domains more appropriate to political decision-making and that women are not more involved in public life for that reason.

However, if politics were a function of logic and reason, then one would expect a just, equitable and sustainable society instead of the widespread greed, corruption, environmental degradation and absolute irresponsibility with which we are surrounded.
