Man & Women: Equality?

(For full text with comments please click on the title)


The conflict between the sexes is just a waste of time?

In this 21st century, the society is always stressing on the equality of the genders. The controversial battle of the sexes is always there. Come to think of it, is there such a thing called equality of gender in this world?

Equality is hard to achieve in a society unless communism is practiced. Even with communism it is also hard to achieve equality. What else can we expect from equality of genders? Man and women are basically different physically and mentally. So how can we be the same and enjoy the same benefits?

One think I was laughing at since a long time is the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development in Malaysia. Why can’t there be a Ministry for Man & Family? Is that called equality? How come there is one for women but not men?

Discrimination of sexes is also practiced by widely without us actually noticing. Just pick up any newspaper and go to the employment section and you will see. “Male preferred” or “female preferred”. Some ads are even worse “Only for female age between 18 and 28”. Where is equality in this word that the women are fighting for?

Women are fighting for their rights. They say they want to be entrepreneurs too. Yes no one is stopping you. How come I never hear women fighting to become construction workers, logistics workers or crane drivers etc? The world should be equal right? Only want to sit in office with air-conditioner and you called that equality?

The thing here is there is no such thing as equality. To those female movement groups just open your eyes and see properly. Don’t just put it under the name of protection of women or women rights. If you want equality please look at it as a whole. If you want to share, share the whole portion. Do not just want the cream and you called that sharing. Ask yourself is there equality in this world? Why some people are so poor and why are so rich? You decide.

I’m not against any gender. I feel that we are here as male or female for a specific reason and some things could not be changed. We need to learn to live life harmoniously and not keep on fighting for gender rights. Some things like getting pregnant is only for the females whereas some jobs are just for the males. Why do we want to fight about it? It is better to help each other to achieve something which can be folds better than fighting who can do it better.

That is interesting. I too always wonder that if there are more women rights group and if they achieve what they want to achieve to get equality, the flip side may happen that eventually men rights group will pop-up. Eventually there won't be any "equality".

Also wonder whether these women expects everything to be given into their hands rather than they compete and get. ?

Surprised to see this thought from a woman from Malaysia.
