The Possiblities
Reading http://dineshdayani.blogspot.com reminded me of one of my all time favorite topics. The demand of equality for Woman.
If 'equality' is ever achieve with regards to the two genders, than it would most likely mean the rights of man being compromised in the process.
Firstly what is the meaning of 'equality'? Well the general feeling would be that neither gender gets any extra favour with regards to just about every aspect of life. So there should be no reason why 90% of politicians should be males. There also should not be any reasons why 95% of CEOs are males and certainly no reasons why 100& of constructions people are males.
But here comes the defination of 'equality' from female. " There should be fairness among both gender in everything, but female should be 'protected' " For example, females should be 'protected' from army and need not serve NS unlike males. However should they want to join the army, the army have to grant them an 'equal' opportunity as their male counterparts. Also in the case of a divorce, despite both husband and wife having an 'equal' opportunities to work and established their career, the husband, or should i say ex-husband have to provide an allowance to his ex-wife to 'protect' her while she enjoys life with a younger and possibly better looking guy.
Now notice the word 'equal'. In the context of enlisting for Army, it does not mean that both males and females will be evaluted the same way. It however does means that if 50 male and 50 female both sign up for the army for 10 places ( if that ever happen). 5 places should be given to males, 5 to female. Should only 3 places be granted to female, it will mean the army is a place that practises discrimination. 'Equal' does not mean being fair and seeing both party without gender. 'Equal' means that the female should have a similar chance of obtaining something as the male despite her being possibly weaker and less capable.
The same however does apply the other way. You do not hear a man complaining to the Society for Men's Right (SMR) about how despite his better education qualifications and superior working experience, he lost out in a secretary posititon to a woman. Now man do not ask " hey that is unfair, the bloody boss favours the lady over me, this company practise discrimination". Why not, because man understand one simple concept better than woman, Life is not suppose to be fair.

i can't argue on all the points...maybe women are really weaker, historically, but you don't see guys complaining when newspapers says "female working environment"...females should definately be disallowed to do construction work...if anyone has any brains...the richest people in the world are all males. the most powerful woman in singapore is Ho Ching (you should know what i mean here)...discrimination in the combat force certainly didn't stop demi moore in G.I Jane (was it?)...ray parlour (soccer player) has to pay his wife 3/4 of his salary because "she is used to the luxurious lifestyle" after their divorce...
no idea why i said all that...but hey...i wrote it and i refused to backspace it...so read

Thanks for the comment Dinesh.
Anyway to protect both myself and my readers from possibly any unwanted trouble or legal actions that may arise due to us commenting on OB (Out-Of-Bound) stuffs. I will like to kindly suggest that key words such as 'PAP', 'Ho Ching' and 'unfair elections' be left out as far as possible.
We all know what kind of society and political climate we are living under and therefore self-censorship would be preferably advised
