When men admit to weakness in order to justify supremacy – as in women should cover themselves so that men cannot be tempted – you have to wonder who are the disabled beings here....".
".........................The worst part of all this is that attitudes such as these are not limited to political parties who want to impose a mono-religious form of government.These attitudes also exist among those who otherwise put themselves in opposition to such a party.You hear the same things at their general assemblies as well.The danger is that these entities want to engage one another.To engage, one seeks to find common ground. Is discrimination against women one of them?...."
Dear Marina,
I am emailing this column to my friends who do not read The Star, (and to those who read only the Sports pages and the Obituaries), as I feel the silent majority of males also agree to your comments. Nail on the head, and that is why it's so scary. Your column also bring to my mind the 2 occasions that your Dad has stated that he fears that we Malaysians are becoming more STUPID. The first was when he said that we are allowing intelligent Malaysians to leave the country but at the same time we 'import' the not so smart foreigners to mess our country up. The second occasion was more recent, when he almost pleaded for us NOT to forsake learning the English Language, stating that, if that were done, Malaysians would again become stupid. I would only disagree with him on the time frame, as I feel that we Malaysians are already stupid now.
On a more personal note, I am wondering how those 'Other' political parties in the coalition must now feel, and those women who have voted for change in the March 8 elections!
