Sexism in politics isn’t something new. However, the recent video circulating of PAS central election director and Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s sexist slurs against women signal that it is high time the issue be addressed.

In the video, Muhammad Sanusi referred to women as “betina” (a word reserved for animals) and alluded that women were incapable of being leaders.
