Women's charter is exploitable..
so what makes u think that Men's charter will not be
exploitable..?
so you are saying it's ok to come up with a Men's Charter
so that men can exploit it, and get away after divorcing their
wives, women not like Ivy, but really need help from an abusive
husband..?
you still haven really explained why do you need a system to be
unfair in order to be fair.
first, would like to ask some qsns.
assuming that laws are to be made equal for both genders,
(ignoring WC or wadever), how is it to the women's
disadvantage?
if a man would "abuse" the system, when both men and women are
on an equal footing, why couldn't a woman do the same? today's
women are not the ignorant traditional illiterate housewives of
yesteryears. they are highly educated, and know how to consult
legal aid when required.
so what is the society against, when it comes to women?
Discrimination in:
entrepreneurship? Its a market economy out there, if u r good,
u'll survive. if ur business plan suxs, the venture will eventually
collapse anyway. so far, i don't see the consumers frequenting a
shop just because the shop owner is a man or a woman. just because
a woman isn't up to it in business, it doesn't mean that she gets
to have extra advantages over others in the market.
in the workplace? there are plenty of female bosses out there.
companies look at look makes the most profits. they don't sacrifice
profits to meer "gender preferences", since profits are the main
reason for the the company's continuing existence.
education? there are currently a worldwide trend with more women
studying in universities, as opposed to men.
pay? in singapore, males are paid slightly more, (not much
anyway, only about $200 more), for doing NS. if females want to
earn the same pay as males, they are free to serve their optional
NS. no one is stopping them from doing that.
marriage? women generally are not interested in divorcees above
40 yrs old.
affairs? society now frown on extra-marital affairs by both men
and women.
clothing? this is not like the middle east, when women have to
conform to a strict dressing code. they have to be covered from
head to toe. in singapore, if a woman is to go run about the
neighbourhood in a bikini, she would at most attract catcalls from
ppl. if a man is to run about his neighbourhood in a pair of
trunks, he would most likely be sent to woodbridge.
sexual preference? gay homosexuality is illegal, while lesbian
homosexuality is legal.
legal punishment: males can be awarded a maximum of 24 strokes
of cane in one hearing. (that means that if he has multiple
hearings, he may be awarded more than 24 strokes). for females,
there's no caning.
so after listing out so many things, can anyone show me in what
ways are females discriminated against under the legal context?
