Gender Roles aren't Gender Requirements

Since the old times, there was existed unequal between gender roles until now. It seems like a disease/ virus, spread everywhere in the whole world.

Why male must work outside and earn money for their family? Why female must do all the housework and take care of their kids? There was no such as a serious rule indicated that they MUST do this! They can do what they want; they can make their own choices!

You know what? Most of the people always had that idea of male can’t do this; female can’t do that. I would like to share some example here. First is male, when they feel angry, shy, sad, or something else.. They can’t show their emotion on their face, like some female will “manja” when they want something, flat their lips when they are felling unhappy, and so on. BUT! When male do this kind of action you will heard some people or their friends will said them seem like “gay” “agua” “ponden” “girl”.. Why? They are also a human! Why they can’t show their emotion freely? That’s was NOT FAIR!  

Well.. Another example, when I was studying in secondary school, every year sure has marathon and sports festival. Of course, running is a part of it. There was so many guys will run, isn’t it? So, you will hear three types of responses. One is “WOW!! You see!! That guy was so Handsome!!!”, second type is no comment, and the last type is “Waxxx ehhh! You see that guy, run “like a girl” “agua” “geli lo”. What is that meaning of run like a GIRL?? They were just run freely.

Here, i'm going to share a video about "LIKE A GIRL"..

Otherwise, now I’m going to talk about female. WHY? Why a girl can’t sit, walk or any action freely as they want? When they were sitting, walking with the legs openly, they had been criticized as “rough” “like a boy” “tomboy”. What? They were just doing what they want and acting freely.

Besides that, some work were not greeting female, such as postman, fisherman and so on. Some company also will not accept and give a female to be the company’s CEO, just because they are a female. Even though, they have lots of abilities.

In addition, female also must take care of their kids and keep the house clean and tidy. Even though they had their own job, they still need to do that. I had asked my family and my friends why female should do this and not male? Then, the results showed me “Because THEY ARE FEMALE”. Well done! What a “perfect” answer.. Excuse me? Female is human, male also is human. They are family, so they have to work together. Take care of the children and keep the house clean TOGETHER. Not only female must do all the things.

Female can take care of their children..

Male can take care of their children too..

But the best way is TOGETHER

Seriously, I’m hoping that no more unequal between gender in the future. Just do what they want. Don’t simply criticize people. They are just acting freely and happily.

Political Leaders

So, today I will talk about the political leader – Lee Kuan Yew!

I think Malaysian sure know who he is. He is the first Prime Minister of Singapore. A lot of people said that, if no Lee Kuan Yew, will no Singapore today! Exactly, I agreed with it.

In 1963, Singapore had to leave Malaysia and be independent. He was so surprised and cried. Even those, he was very afraid of the predicament, but he never gave up. At the moment, Singapore had no natural resource, (Example: Brunei possesses many a lot of petroleum, natural gas and so on.) so he began to implement large-scale reform program, taking a series of measures to create employment opportunities for the development, affordable housing, education reform etc. He tried to transform Singapore "dirty cesspool" image into a modern industrialized society. At the same time, he also integrated all ethnicity into a group.

Besides that, Lee Kuan Yew had a name, which is “iron hand”. He was conducting the political control strictly on all the levels of Singapore’s society. This decision made Singapore became the most rigorous management in the world and he also had taught Singaporeans manners. For the example, do not speak loudly, when they need to flush toilet, in their country also cant found any painting and do not eat chewing gum. Singaporeans have no rights and freedom, but they have a miracle in their country. Lee Kuan Yew said:” Singapore was known as a nanny state, but this result made their country became better than 30 years ago.” Just because of his persistence, hard work and “iron hand”, Singapore had achieved to be a successful country.

Singapore really really really is a “SMALL BUT EXCELLENT” country.

“I used so much time of my life to build this country. There’s nothing more I can do. At the last, ..

What have I got?

-          A Successful Singapore!

What have I given up?

-          My Life! ”

Why Sexist Language Matters??

What’s sexist language matters? Well, I think a lot of people still not really understand the ‘sexist language matter’. From my understanding and opinion, sexist language matter is unequal rights between genders. It seems like a disease, spread everywhere.

In my memories, most of the old people will focus on their son or grandson more than daughter/ granddaughter. Male always is the most important in a family. They must work, handle everything, and succeed business and so on. But female only can work in the house! Even you are still a young girl, also need to do the same work as a housewife. Keeping the house clean, cook for family; take care of kids/siblings and so on.

Why? Why must discriminate male and female? Among that, a lot of ability will lose! Everyone sure have their own ability and talent. Not only male can handle everything and work, female also can work better than male; male also can manage housework better than female. In my family, my mother handles everything very well. (Better than my dad? xD)

Hoping that, in the future can be equal between genders. Everyone have their human rights, nobody can decide their future or prevent them. We don’t want any sexist language!

Here is a song about sexist and gender from Helen Reddy – “I am a woman”. Enjoy it!
