Gender revolution

I stopped in front of my mailbox yesterday for a pleasant surprise. The government is giving away monetary tokens. And based on my brief calculations, the GST credits can really cushion the impact of the GST hike. I was skeptical at first. But now i'm assured. What if the government just gave away money like that without putting it across as GST credits? That they don't increase the GST rate but just give away monetay tokens. That can make the people complacent. The government is right.

Yesterday night I was supposed to sleep early but was not disciplined enough to get to bed. Then I came across this passage by Chan Wai Leong titled Gender Revolution. It was quite abstract. But interesting. Interesting to question why some things the way they are: Why are there families? Why are there two different kinds of sexes? Well, i can see the importance of the two sexes because they complement each other, need each other. They're different to complement each other. Beautiful isn't it? In the world's greatest religions, Islam and Christianity, the woman is created to be the companion for man. I couldn't agree more.

Then the essay talked about women demanding equal rights as men. Is that possible? We've seen laws that were designed to protect women. We've seen sports races categorized into Men Open and Women Open categories. We've seen National Service that is compulsory only for men. I'd not like to sound chauvinistic but these are facts. So what is men supposed to learn? It's humility. The importance of being down- to- earth. Genuine humility.
