On Equality

We have heard so many a times where our female counterparts complained that they are treated unfairly and have asked or rather demanded equality between the 2 sexes. I am also standing on this side of the fence -that is to demand equality between men and women.

1) Men should not shoulder the responsiblilty of being the breadwinner of a family.
2) Men should not hold the door for a lady to enter.
3) Bills should be split evenly when a couple goes out.
4) Females should also enlist in the army.
5) Females should also help to carry heavy stuff instead of asking us guys to do it.
6) Men and women should compete together in all sports events instead of dividing them into male and female category.

Now I wonder whether our dear female counterparts are still crying out for equality. It seems to me equality to them is necessary only when they are at a disadvantage. When instances like the above 6 points which I mentioned, they will keep silent or say 'I girl leh. U cannot expect me to do this mah.' Yah right. The word 'equality' goes out of the window straight away.

Actually most of my female friends are ok. The ones who I cannot stand is those who will fit right into the 'Women's Right Association' where they try to lead their female comrades into speaking up against 'unjustice'. Of course I am not referring to protests against rape charges or where their rights are seriously violated. I am referring to those minor minor issues where we guys don't give a toot about.

And you know what the best part is? These so-called 'Women's rights' leaders often double up as love advisors. And the funniest part is these people giving the 'advice' are most likely single themselves or not having much experience in this area. Do you ask a beggar for financial advice? Do you teach Ronaldinho how to play football? Funny how these advisors can say things so casually. "Aiya, no point loving this kind of man la. Just leave him." or "You should just break up with him before he leaves you in the future." Easier said than done. I hate irresponsible people like this who think that just by throwing a statement or 'advice', all problems can be solved.

And also why can girls refer themselves as princess in their nicknames or blognames while if a guy refers himself as a prince, he is considered shameless? If suddenly one day I change my nick to Prince Colo I think I will be the laughing stock of everyone. It seems that only a girl is permissible to fantasise and dream while a guy cannot. Equality huh?

But anyway, if really comes a day any of my male friends dare to address himself as Prince-whatever, I think I will give him a slap as well. I cannot imagine a guy imagining himself as a prince riding on a white horse hoping to meet his Snow White someday. In my eyes, only one person qualifies as a prince. Check him out here.

This is not --> http://www.stevenlim.net/

Unless you are even half as good-looking as the above mentioned, don't even dream of referring yourself as a prince. It's time to wake up and get a real job.

Forgive me for not writing more as it's getting late.
