How preposterous!

I have been dumbfounded to hear a letter broadcast at the programme 'Preeti Vajoneshu' on the BBC Bangla Service (BBS). The writer asked why there were    more female journalists than male ones on the staff of BBS. At this age of technological revolution and women empowerment, I don't understand how a man can ask this question. However, the BBC's answer has put the female folks on a pedestal: “Still we have not been able to bring a balance between male and female journalists but we have been trying to do that.” To me it is quality and eligibility based on which media houses recruit journalists.
