Women Can Live Without Men but Men Can't Live Without Women

How much do you agree with this issue? I think that it is fairly true. My reasons? Well, I have my reasons..Let's discuss it. It's only based on personal opinions though..

   Let us go back to history. In the first place, God created woman because of man. Because of Adam, Eve was created. He saw that Adam was lonely, and he needed a companion. That is why, God made Eve out of Adam, to keep him company, to be his helper.
   Secondly, if it weren't for the women, who would give birth to men? I don't care if the gender is produced by the male from their sperms, but if it weren't the women to conceive them, are there even male babies? I mean, guys! Go and get your own baby without having a woman to conceive it! Go and try and see if you can get a kid like that. Never! That's why, I totally don't get the older eras, where baby girls are hated and baby boys are soooo precious. Some tribes even kill their baby girls because they think that baby girls are a shame to the family. I mean like, WHAT? Seriously, if it weren't for us women, there will be no more males. Need I say more?
   Not only that, women can just live fine without males in their life. Single mothers, spinsters, widows, they can all live without a male. They can take care of themselves, their own wellbeing, whatever, all by themselves. Some single mothers even bring up their kids alone after their husbands left them. They work their heads off to bring up the kids, see to their growth and wellbeing, act the roles of BOTH father and mother and can still be so strong. Do they need men? No.
   Have you heard of the saying: "Behind every successful man is a woman"? Because I totally believe in that saying. Men are very vulnerable in taking hasty decisions that they might later regret in lives, or decisions that might bring huge consequences. It is the women who needs to always guide and make sure that they do not make silly decisions. It is the women who gives the emotional support.
   You know how they always say that women are the weaker vessels? It is true to some point, but who are the ones who always make us so emotional? Who are the ones who always hurt us emotionally and physically? Who are the ones we were made to complement? The answer is MEN. But do you not know that women are actually the ones who are stronger emotionally? Because we cry easily and we always spill our problems out, we tend to manage our emotions and stress better. On the other hand, men tend to bottle up their feelings more. They don't let it go and cry whatsoever or else they'll be seen as gay or no more macho. That is also why it is the males who make up the higher percentage of suicides, because they can't control their emotions like women do.
   Women tend to always get the blame for the males. How? For example, when a husband cheats on his wife, his wife is blamed for not being able to keep his heart, she's not attractive enough anymore, she didn't give in to the husband's needs, she is too busy and all those selfish reasons men come up with to shift the guilt away from him. I mean, why was she not pretty anymore? She was the one who did all those dirty job cleaning after you and your kid, those sleepness nights feeding the baby as you sleep away like a pig. And you blame her for not dressing up pretty anymore?
   It is the women who would sacrifice the most. How often do you have a working wife and a house-husband? How often do you see an able-bodied man marry and look after a disabled woman all his life? How often do you see a man willing to wait for a woman all his life and sacrifice his love? How often? Mostly, it is the woman who would sacrifice looking after money and stay at home and look after the needs of the house. It is the woman who would marry a disabled man, take care of him all her life although it's very challenging.
   Because of men, because of the original purpose of mankind, to fill the earth and subdue it, because mankind sinned, women had to go through birth pangs, all those pain in child bearing and all sorts. Why we menstruate, why we have PMS. The pain we have to go through for a week every month. Why do only women have that? And guys think that it's so easy. Whenever we get so moody when we are in pain, guys think that it's only an excuse women give. Come, lemme transfer my pain to you for a week every month and see how much you enjoy it. You think it's fun? It hurts so bad you don't feel like living.
   Why do women even bother to dress prettily and put on make up? One of the reason is to be pleasing in the eyes of men. Of course, we want to look and feel good ourselves but it is all because of men. We can still live without men though. But we were just fulfilling the initial purpose. To complement men.
   Who said that women cannot be successful? Umpteen years ago, Hatsheput was the first woman to rule over Egypt and did she contribute so much to her country! There are lady presidents, prime ministers and so forth. Many other women who inspire others. Women athletes, businesswomen, women politicians and so forth!
   All in all, it's a whole different era now. And women can no longer be deemed useless and always work under a man's feet. No, that's gender prejudice. Therefore, I do say that women can live without men just fine.

Unity in Diversity

Hello people!
   I haven't been posting for a long time due to my hectic schedule. I just went into college and has been so busy ever since. I'm on my semester break now, so I find a little time to do this. Whees~

   Now, the title I've chosen is something that I strongly defend for. Living in a country where there are many races, there should be unity between races, no? However, I still find that such a diversity is still very sensitive in the minds of some.
   I'm Chinese but I do not discriminate others for being darker-skinned or something, Of course, I don't wish to marry someone who is darker-skinned. But here, lemme get it right. I'm not a racist, I just have a certain criteria for my dream husband, that's it. No other meaning, alright? But if in the end, due to love, I end up marrying one, I can't help it too, right? Hahah~
   Okay, I don't mean to condemn my own race, but Chinese are people who are very much prejudiced against a certain race, like Malays and Indians and HIGHLY look up to Caucasians. I mean like, WHY? Why are some races viewed that way? What's wrong with being a Malay or Indian? So much so that even some of these races hate themselves for being of that race and acts more like a Westerner than Westerners themselves. Chinese people would stay away from places that are frequented by a mojority of Indians and Malays. Like my college itself, majority of the students are Malays and Indians, and I find it totally fine. I mix around with all races, and view them as nothing more but the same.
   People get so surprised when I'm acting less than a Chinese. For one, I don't read Mandarin. I'm totally stupid about it, and we, those who can't really do Mandarin, are called bananas. Why? Because we are yellow-skinned on the outside but totally English, or white, on the inside. Like, DO I CARE? No. Secondly, I don't speak Malay like Chineses do. I speak Malay just like the Malays do. Yes, with their slang or accent. And they get totally amazed by it, most would ask if I was Chinese or Malay. I'm very Chinese in my own way, but I'm very diversed as well. I don't feel like a pure Chinese, I feel like I'm a mixture, a chemistry, of everything!
   There were many times I greeted Muslim friends with Assalamualaikum. Most responded, while some said that they can't reply as I am not Muslim. Well, I asked another friend, she said that they should reply back. I'm not sure about it. That phrase means Peace Upon You, but how are they showing peace if they cannot greet back a non-Muslim with Waalaikumsalam? I'm just wondering, I'm not questioning..ohh well~ I might just ask the ustaz in college..Hmm~
   Of course, I have a certain slang when I speak English as well. It's not American, it's not British, it's not Aussie. It's like, a mix. Yeah, a mix! My English is not perfect either because I'm not like some Chinese who only speaks English and no other Chinese dialects because they think they are a higher social class when they only know English. Like, PUH-LEASE! I don't tolerate such diva attitude. Some kind of a mindset they have. Uhhhh~
   When I'm spotted at Little India, the shop owners and all the customers there would be like staring down at me like, yo Chinese! What are you doing here? You sure you're here to buy sarees and punjabi suits? Yes, I am. I have a few sets of sarees and pavadhais and punjabi suits that, I think I outrun the sets even some Indian girls have. I totally love traditional clothes. It's so elegant and pretty and unique. Call me old, whatsoever, I don't care. It was Traditional Clothes day every Friday at college (I bet it is like that also everywhere) and I wore a punjabi suit back to college. My Moral lecturer caught me in it and was like: Oh! Traditional suit! Good, good. I'll add 10marks for you. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH. I don't know if he was serious, but it felt great because I'm not stuck to my own Chinese roots. Others also complimented and encouraged to spread this spirit. I will, no worries! I was wearing this thavanee saree when I got off the car to get a burger for supper. The burger guy was like: Are you Indian or Chinese? I said I'm Chinese, really Chinese. See? They are soooo surprised that a Chinese would wear clothes not their culture.
   What era are we living in now? Why do people still have the mindset that we must be clearly distinguished? Yes, the Chinese market is rising greatly but so what? Does it make you any bigger than others? Does it make you any greater than others? To Chinese, you are nothing if you're not Caucasian. Even if it's Japanese or Korean, which is so popular nowadays, you are still lowly disregarded. When my relatives knew that I was so into Korean things, they wrinkled the noses at the idea and said that Korean men hit their wives. HEY! DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT IT IS DIFFERENT NOW? Seriously, I feel like cracking their nutheads for having this narrow thinking.
   Not only that, people who are mute or deaf and dumb. They are also a pity crowd. Because they couldn't speak, people leave them and regard them as abnormal. I only know very limited sign language, but I try to communicate with them with my limited sign. And, are they happy to find a normal person to communicate with them! They feel as though they are noticed and they think you are friends. They get so enthusiastic when a normal person knows some sign, even if it's a simple hello, they think you KNOW how to sign and they will continue "telling" you things. Many a times, I get so clueless after these people kept "talking" to you because I know so little, but they would be so happy to help and express and describe it in a way for you to understand. They really want someone to hear them out. Really.
   It's even more annoying when some stuck up locals gets all puffed up when they migrated overseas or no longer possess a local citizenship but a foreign one, say a British citizenship. Then get your butts back to wherever you migrated to, Malaysia don't need such people. I'm not trying to be a politician or a philosopher, I'm just annoyed at how these people are discriminated because of their race. I love the quote, also the title of this post, UNITY IN DIVERSITY. I'm gonna further prove that races are no barriers to build good relationships with (I don't mean the romatic relationship, mind you). I'm considering to learn an Indian tongue, Tamil. Mark my words, I'm CHINESE and I'm SOUND and I'm considering to learn TAMIL and SIGN LANGUAGE as my next goal. Peace out!
