Interesting. Searching for first female monk on Google turns up some older articles saying that she got ordained by a Sri Lankan, and the Thai monk clergy doesn't really recognize her. A female monk takes on Thailand's clergy The Advertiser, November 17, 2004 While the general public is more open to female ordination, the Thai clergy remains fiercely opposed. A lone female monk has riled the religious hierarchy by waging a fight for ordination of women, reports Connie Levett from Nakhon Prathom, Thailand. buddhistchannel.tv; And if her status changed at some point, its odd that there isn't a more recent article at the top of Google's results. I don't really care if there are female monks or not, but your original claim that the Bhuddist "leader" (whoever that is) change the "rules" sure doesn't seem correct. Any you'll notice that she seems to have gotten herself ordained (or something), on her own, through he own personal effort. Good for her. She didn't get to where she is via some mandated quotas that you keep advocating.
