Women…. & equality…





8 March is the international women’s day.. Happy Women’s Day to all the wonderful women out there!!!

It’s amazing how far women have accomplished for the past century until today…. We have fought so many battles from getting the right to vote… to having elected a woman prime minister or a president….. (at international level ..of course)..As for Malaysia, Gals… we still got a long way to go…

The theme for this year released by UN is “Women & men united to end violence against women’ … but it is still up to each country to follow or to come up with their own theme… some of the countries are talking about equality…

Hmmm… equality?? I totally agree that we women should be treated equally to the men!! No double standard please!!!!



a) We should get the same salary as men.. (but we Malaysian women don’t face this problem frequently… do we??)
b) To all the chauvinistic guys out there!! Your wife is not ur maid… treat them as ur equal.. (sama2 cari rezeki..sama2 la kita didik anak…sama2 la buat keje kat rumah tu!!) – but I’m glad, a lot of today’s men does help their wives….
c) All the MP’s and men in general… please don’t make statement that discriminate us women.. don’t make silly or perhaps stupid jokes that refers to us in a sexual manner…
d) We are not bad drivers!!! Maybe we are ..at one point!! But not now.. We’ve improved soooooo much!! I find that there are equally good women drivers as good men drivers… equally bad drivers as well!!!
e) Please no more gender bias… we hear lots of saying implying or emphasising on the negative aspects…relating to women.. (It makes us women feel small)…saying, such as.. Women are too emotional… women are calculative …. Women are bossy… women are blaa..blaa…blaa.. Hey guys!! God made us to complete all of you!! You should be grateful..

To all women… I think it’s important to understand what is equality… I don’t think equality is our wish list..
For me.. Women are born to complete the men… that’s why god created Eve… to be Adam’s other half, not to compete Adam!! If they are the Yin .. we are the Yang.. if they are black.. we are white!! If they are right.. we are left, if they are fire, we are water !! I think you get what I mean…

Our role might not be the same as men because we are their missing parts… they can’t operate 100% without us!! (hey!! I’m not talking about sex.. I’m talking about all things in general) So why do we need to be like them!! Equality is not about us having the same role as them.. I think it’s more about us being treated the same way as them!! We want to be acknowledge for what we are.. We want to be appreciated for what we do… Guys.. don’t look down on the our roles. don’t belittle our contributions!! That’s all we ask!!
