Gender Bias in Kohsantepheapdaily
After reading an article on kohsantepheapdaily, I found one interesting article about Minor Road Accident that puts the blame on being a female driver.
According to the article, no one was injured and no damages was done to the public property. After the accident, the author (the Kohsantepheap news reporter) tried to investigate the cause of the problem. However, he failed to identify since the driver (the female driver) was not cooperative and not answering anything. At the end of the article, the kohsantepheap reporter apparently put the blame on the accident because of the driver being a lady.
I was just wondering how the author comes about linking between being a female driver and such accident? How many accidents have occurred before that involved a lady? what about man? To me, such statement is rather vague and without proper ground and it only leads to more concern about gender bias in the Khmer society.
