Utopia?

Hi.

I'd just like to announce to everyone who actually drops by to read my rubbish, that me and Mr mimosa will be taking a 4 day hiatus to Bangkok this weekend... :D

Anyway, I just read Mr Mimosa's post and decided that I had to chip in my two cents worth..Couldn't very well let womenkind go undefended, can i?

First, in case there are those who have no idea what the Women's Charter is, it is an Act that was passed in 1961 to provides the legal basis for equality between husband and wife. Basically, the essence of the act is as follows (pardon me for the cut and paste..I won't deny that im just lazy):

So, in fact...despite it's misnomer, the Women's Charter does protect the rights of men as well.

In my humble opinion, I really do not think that a Men's Charter is needed at all at this point in time. As of now, the social, economic and corporate achievements of men far outweigh those of women. It is a known fact that equality between the sexes does not exist at the moment. I am also of the opinion that there will never be equality between in the sexes in the future, simply because of the way men and women are built. However, I do think that there will be equal opportunity in the future.

So while it is undeniable that men do get raped (unbelievable as it may seem), the number of women being accosted still far outnumbers the men. Moreover, given the current social status of women and the dominant position of men, the protection extended by this Act ensures that women are able to claim what is rightfully theirs. (This of course says nothing about women who abuse the system by calling wolf...but that's another story for another day.)

Talking politics makes me tired...i guess i'll continue this another...if i ever. Alternatively, someone could help me finish my tirade. Haha...

I'll be going now...I'll see u guys again in a few days. Cheerio!
