2nd Thoughts
Relationships form for various reasons…. It could be for the ease of loneliness that one feels or it could simply that we want to share our experiences of life with a special someone. Yet from these simple reasons, one can use reasons to hurt those that they love. The lack of communications has been the bane to many relationships.
However, looking at marriages in the recent years and compared them to those of the yester years, we will find that despite the many difference that the couples faced in the past they were able to survive their marriages. The alarming increasing rate of divorce cases that we see in the recent survey shows that couples nowadays lacked the tolerance that our predecessors have for their spouses. Though there might be a majority group that says that there was no equality among the couples in the past compared to those in the recent years. But looking at the figures, is equality among the sexes that important to wreck marriages? Or are there more factors at work here?
The Women Charter of the law was drafted to protect the women from the yester years. For they were the group who suffered in silence to see to it that their marriages survived no matter what happens. However, in the recent years there are rises in cases whereby the male are the ones who are suffering at the hands of their wives. Yet the law still protects their group of “fairer” sex when the marriage goes down the path of divorce. Is it really fair? In the past, the males almost seemingly commands a higher earning power compared to the females, given the same position as it had always been a male dominated world. Nowadays the case is not always so. It is a survival of the fittest in this century. It all bores down to the facts that who is more educated or has a higher ability to bring in more income for the company, regardless of their sexes.
Some may say that, “What a MCP this bastard is!!!” But search your hearts people… Is it really simply a MCP making a statement? Or is it the fact that this portion of people who are enjoying the elevated status for the female half and yet still wants to reap the benefits of the yester years? Not saying that the Women Charter is totally outdated however, certain laws need to be amended…. Only a women’s modesty can be outraged by a male and not vice versa? I don’t think so… But many people still believed that a female couldn’t rape a male…
The female half of the species have been battling to be seen as an equal in this world yet when ever it comes to events or factors that is to their favor, they silently admitted the fact that they are the fairer sex and require the protection of the masses and by the law. Is it equality? Can TRUE equality ever come to being? Perhaps only when the humans can abandon the traditions that has being embedded into our being that there are difference in the treatment for boys and girls then can there be true equality….

Equality?Equal Rights? The opposite sex wanted equal rights to everything, but yet why the existence of the women charter? I have to agree with you on this one Paulo! They want their equal rights to everything..then they have to earn it just like we have to!! All these sentiments for the weaker sex are piece of crap!its a cruel world out there and its time that we regained our alpha-male status! They are only inferior to us physically but psychologically or otherwise, women are able to manipulate and seduce their way thru everything.Breaking our hearts along the way just to get the things that they wanted.I’ve seen this everywhere..at the workplace,on the streets..I say down with the female chauvinists! Play fair ladies.. yours sincerely..a Male Chauvinist Patriot
