Equality

The wars of Mars versus Venus are never ending...

As growing up, many perceptions have changed. Still remember just few years back, i was so reluctant and feeling so fed up of being a girl. That was my rebellious time. 'It's too dangerous for you as a girl to go there!' 'Isn't it so difficult for you to sit properly as a girl?' 'You girls are so troublesome!' ...... See, those comments have made me unsatisfied of being born as a girl, furthermore a non-good looking girl. Self-destructively, i acted 'manly' and haven't spent time in dressing up, as if it was shameful to dress up beautifully!

A person's mind does grow, a person becomes mature mentally as time goes. Later i learnt to accept the unique myself, as the one and the only. I found my confidence. I determined to be a girl with strong ability, equal to a boy. What a boy can do, i can do! In the years of studying in a boy's school (about 90% of the students are boys), i kept desiring in achieving something which was impressive, can make me proud of it...Well, i was lucky. Knowing a bunch of lovely yet capable buddies, i learnt things from them, a lot!

Now, as growing up, in the big city. Men are not all so simple minded as in the teenage years. After all, men and women, they are different! I personally experienced unpleasant verbal harrassment from someone in the work place. Only then i realized how important to have certain limit of self protection. I used to be very friendly with everyone, no matter your gender, of course. But since the incident, it's necessary to keep a distance from whom you do not know more. It's disturbing to have such incident. Now i know why there are so many bad guys still enjoying their lives instead of sitting in the jail. It is so demanding to ask an innocent victim who has experienced from sexual bully to recall and stand out and point out the bullier! Most victims would rather choose to remain silent, let the time to heal their wound slowly. Sad......That is why we girls must be always alert all the time out. That is why mummy ask us not to stay out late at night. That is why we are taught not to be playing so wildly outside. That is why......

Is there any equality of men and women here? It's sad to know one of the capable young female politician to quit the election. Have been faced so many insults and being bravely snap back for numerous time, she is the proud of malaysian ladies. But now, the reality is, she quit.

It is difficult for a women to manage especially in the executive position. A woman CEO once said, 'i am not a female CEO. I'm the CEO who happened to be a woman.' In order to lead, first, forget your gender. Always believe, the equality still exists.

Anyway, yin and yang. The balance of the nature. We as the little part of the Mother Nature has nothing to do in order to unbalance it. Men and women, both have different roles to play. Most importantly, respect each other. I always hate the guys who always look down on women...don't you realize how pain-staking to make you have the chance to see the fabulous world! With mutual respect and understanding, harmony can only shower among us!

Still, i believe in the harmony. Mars and Venus will have the happy ending!
Ps: i am still staying in the Venus wishing the ONE to balance my life! Believing in the existing of true love! Yet, enjoying being a single Venus!

Stay cheerful!
