Good grief, do a search on google. The Buddhist leaders changed the rules and now permit female monks - someone with an ear for equal rights would know this. I know of many female monks. Apparently they are not yet where you prefer to go.

When I see a female Thai monk, I believe it. Believe it: 07/28/04 Debate over women as Buddhist monks... The Dhamma Times, 27 July 2004 But the times are changing and plans to allow full ordination of women into the Therevada Buddhist order are being made. AFP, Thailand - First came the allegations of heresy, the death threats followed, then came the start of an impeachment process. The formerly peaceful world of Thai Buddhism has been rocked by an issue that has riven religions worldwide -- the rightful role for women within its ranks. While Thais are proud of the thousands of golden roofed temples that adorn the kingdom, a growing number are calling for the "No Women Allowed" signs that still hang outside some of the buildings containing sacred relics to go. But worse still to the old-guard is the threat of the full ordination of women to the Therevada Buddhist order, followed by more than 90 percent of Thais.
