women's right? my foot!

Are men really losing it in today's society? After reading a blog entry by my dear sis (men-are-losing-it), I can't help but wonder why women are still complaining about their equality.

Women are climbing up the corporate ladder by leaps and bounds. This is especially with the liberisation of the Women's Right movement. In Singapore, we are also not against with such a liberal movement. Take my current work place for eg. Out of the 17 in my department, only 4 are guys. Not that I'm complaining. The females in my department often provides with the much needed relief from a hectic work via avenues such as gossiping. I also learn a great deal of women and their bodily functions via their daily conversations. In a world used to be dominated by men, the valuation sector is now infested by women, literally.

Women are also climbing up the politial sector, abeilt slower in our local context. But everything is still based on merits and choices. Women are not really expected to put their family in the first place (as evident by the many working mums in my department). Now now, not women are not the only ones who is achieving eauality. Men has grown softer now (also termed as SNAG) and partake in the domestic affairs as well.

The only problem now: Women still have that same old fashion mentality of wanting a husband who is able to provide for them, at the same time be romantic, and contribute (if not dominate) to the household chores and affairs. Singaporean men are not so bad. True, they have grown much softer compared to those MCP days of the 70s. But they have become more reasonable and caring. What is with women these days of not wanting a husband who crave for stability, both in their career and relationship?

I believe the so called 'hi' standards of the Singaporean women is due to unrealistic expectations and the years of equality surpression in the past few decades. It's almost like they wanted revenge and are playing catch up. At the same time, they can't ditch their olden days mentality of a perfect husband. At the end of the day, only those who can't adapt will be sideline. That will also include those seeking relationships.
