Lack of love is no excuse for corruption

SHENZHEN MUNICIPAL People's Procuratorate recently published a report on crimes committed by women in the city, which shows a growing trend of female officials embezzling public funds and taking bribes. The procuratorate said many of these corrupt female officials lacked love at home and advised the society to care for them. Comments:
Corruption has nothing to do with gender. Corruption means the political system has loopholes that need mending. Those linking the corruption of female officials with their relationships with their families have actually raised higher moral standards for women and assume they play an obedient role. This is ridiculous and possibly constitutes discrimination.
