Let's face it. It's an unfair world. There isn't much of an 'equality' between the sexes. Several reasons to state my stand. I'm not gonna go all feminist here cos these are facts. General facts.
- Women with bushy eyebrows are often criticised. Men? Colin Farrell isn't getting insulted, is he? Peter Gallagher, sure they poke fun of it here and then.
- If men jump into the pool with their tops and boardshorts, it's okay. If women jump into the pool with their tops and boardshorts, the guys go, "where's your bikini?" Well, you don't hear the girls going, "where're your trunks?" do ya?
- Men who are plump don't get mentioned. Women who are plump? "Oh god, she's fat and she's wearing that?" followed by perpetual "Eew"s.
- When females have hard palms / fingers, guys give looks. When guys have hard palms / fingers, they're thought to have had a hard life, and are worth ogling at like they're tough men!
- Women who don't shave are given looks. Men? Please. Just watch an NBA game.
- Women with no make-up are called 'plain janes'. Men, on the other hand, would be teased if they had make-up. See, the thing is, the women have to put on something in order not to be teased.
- That leads us to another point. Women have to spend tons! On make-up - cleansers, moisturizers, foundations, eyeshadow, blushers, lipsticks, lip gloss, etc. On grooming - tweezers, eye-lash curlers, etc.
- AND, women are often given less money. Just daily examples, like siblings. Chances are, the brothers are gonna get a lot more money!
Heh, I was walking towards the hairdressers and suddenly all of these popped into my mind. I'm quite sure there were more but knowing how terrible my memory is (since Seige wasn't around with me)... well, true enough isn't it! :p Many things for women are a 'must-have' or a 'must-do'. Many things for men are optional.
[Ooh, and so someday I'm gonna get sued for being sexist by some chauvinist organisation and then this blog shall close down. lol]
I'm just being lame cos I'm tired. I need more sleep. So I'll be back with post-mugging period, part 2 when I'm a little less... braindead.
And oh yes, had a haircut today. Chopped off about 2 inches. The hairdresser didn't really get my point when I said I want it short. She basically gave it a trim and then layered it more when I told her I wanted it shorter. So I just trimmed it myself (it's amazing it's not slanted or anything at the back!) and now it's more or less the length I planned it to be. Would've been shorter if I didn't have to tie it at school! Just the sudden urge to chop it all off! :p Think it would've been triggered off by Zheya's haircut or I'd never have gotten down to cutting it. Ha!

so maybe some guys will argue that they dont do this. but let's face it: Generally, MOST men do.

i mean, this is not about trying to tell girls to stop shaving and stuffs, but more about... just questioning why women get these sort of treatment eh?
