If you change women to white and men to black, it would be like reading something from 1890's Alabama.

feminism is equality

Educate a male; you only educate one person

Unless, of course, he educates others, uses that education to be a good world leader, uses that education to help build stuff to help the world in some way, you know, what men have done throughout history?

Educate a female; you educate a family

Sure, in the land of vast overgeneralizations, she can educate her kids, the father is usually out working.

An educated mother has a sobering, soothing, and civilising effect on her children.

So does an educated father? The father also usually tends to be the rolemodel, especially for boys, it's absolutely crucial for him to be a strong and well-grounded person, education included. And of course, this only talks about family life.

No nation can think of its balanced development if the women are illiterate

Yeah, the same goes for men? As the word "balanced" suggests?

No child can extract undue money from his educated mother by asking for fifty rupees to buy Indian Ocean

Isn't it "the Indian Ocean"? Odd that they use a male child as an example here... can't be that they're pushing a "man bad woman good" narrative here? Naaah.

Also, everything here could also be said about men. Probably more importantly as well, as in that world, they're the breadwinners for the family.

Likewise she cannot be dodged by the children pretending to be studying

Yeah, if the role of the mother is at home, teaching her children, that's definitely important. In that world, the man is out working, which means if he's not educated, he could be working a terrible job, or easily duped by his bosses, and could put the entire family in financial jeapordy.

Just because education is important for one, doesn't mean it's not important for the other. It's not exclusive.

Women are generally religious and morally strong.

Ehhhhhh.

Okay, okay, let's go and play with your world. In that world, men should also likely be religious and morally strong as well. If they aren't, that's more their mother's fault (as she's the one raising them). Considering the anti-male sentiment in this world the paper describes, I wouldn't at all be surprised if that's the case.

Also, what is up with all of the odd grammar here? Yeah, nice using fancy words and all that, but I sure hope this isn't for an English exam.
