Singaporean Women discriminated against

u dun have and will never have multiple orgasms. if u ever need someone to help u develop a way to have multiple orgasms through medical or scientific means...

cooleo SG

I suspect the women are fighting for a law to be passed whereby men have to bear children while the women are involved in the insemination.

Trying to get her to stop whining about being discriminated as a woman

silly girl.
EDUCATION!?
when they have projects like "science for girls", where they give scholarship for girls who are scientifically inclined?
how about boys?
why is there no "arts for boys" type of scholarship?
and since boys are more action oriented, then by right, if the state is really biased girls, we will have classrooms outside where boys can be free.
but we have classrooms that are more catered for the female brain.
but nope, not happening...
instead their active nature is regarded as a character flaw and must be treated.
more material rewards for men?
so why don't companies hire an all-women workforce?
wouldn't that be cheaper?
face it,
people who actually own business aren't complete morons.
abuse in marriage?
here's something interesting.
females initiate more domestic violence than men.
fortunately they are physically weaker.
unfortunately men are physically stronger.
which means when he flares up,
under the very annoying nagging of his wife.
thats a bad scenerio.
and that guy do need to be punished for using physical violence.
but when a woman uses a weapon, like a knife, or a a car,
she will be pardoned.
she won't need to go to jail,
just go to a psychiatrist.
you want more?
we research more on breast cancer than on prostrate cancer,
even though they have almost the same rate of killing the respective sex..
in crime, men receive longer prison sentences.
despite the all too often mantra that women are more moral.
if they are, then they should be more discerning,
which means their punishment should be more severe.
but its not.
double standards...
oh yeah, and if there is a women's department,
why is there no men's department?

Prostate cancers usually don't kill first ......the male dies first of something else like massive stroke , liver disease, lung disease, cardiac disease due to the stresses they endure in their lifelong socialization process .Usually when prostate cancer is discovered - it has advanced beyond a curative aspect. 1% of males have breast cancer too. It is not common but it happens.

Breast cancers are more researched because young women can get it and it can be due to familial reasons (mom has ca breast etc). Prostate cancer usually affects males in their late 50s and after. There are research on prostate cancers....you have treatment options .

If you want more research done on prostate cancers - you have to think it through. Pharmaceutical companies make up the main sponsors of research and they do research which is economically beneficient to them. A young person with breast cancer will be more willing to spend on expensive and exclusive treatment and have a higher possibility of being cured. While an 80 year old may not be able to take the drugs due to his medical co-morbidities...really how many 80 year olds , or even 60 year olds,have no past history of any major medical histories.

Men's department - men's fashion ...really would most men wear any color at all ? Even pink? Or outrageous dresses? Men's clothing usually consists of pants/trousers/jeans and shirts/tshirt of a macho type color . Accessories , belt , ties, bow ties, cuff links........Well most men anyways.....we have to exclude cross dressers. There are men's department....they all look the same...shirts/jackets/ pants.....more shirts , more jackets , more pants...same color ....similar patterns. If you want to blame it on discrimination....I say blame it on the fashion designers and guys who do not want to experiment with fashions

anyway i`ve always thought of guys and gals to be equal
it just ponders upon me why the woman are creating this barrier and cry wolf
when they make such sexist actions..

What's wrong with naming women in power?
Actually I would suggest you read my post above the women in power post.

If you notice JusticeLegal is the only one making the comment that Singaporean women are being discriminated with unsubstantiated claims.

She is naive in her way of thought and probably frustrated of medical school quotas.As a courtesy , gentlemen , you guys should be nicely highlighting to her why her thoughts are wrong instead of shooting women, in general ,down. By shooting her down, she becomes more entrenched in her naive thoughts and convince herself she is right.

An Eternal Now SG

Just accept your fate and serve your man well.

BaByBoY SG

yup u`re rite..
but that`s what my female frens used to do to quote woman in power.
tinking that they`re great simply because some of them made it big..
well
i still tink it`s their capablilities that brought them up
not simply because they`re gals rite??
keke

sgdiehard SG

Oh, honey, what is it you want again?? din you get enough the last time? why you keep moaning, huhh? you don't like it or you want more? What equality you want, change position? Why compare me with the angmoh? I thought they are very rough? or am I not gentle enough? say what you want, don let me guess, ok? honey.

oldbreadstinks SG

well, man can get breast cancer too Laughing

apollo861 SG

hmm.. ok.
right.
so why not spend it on massive stroke , liver disease, lung disease, cardiac disease, then?
and then also, by default, if society discriminates against women,
then they should also have these diseases from lifelong socialisation process.
but they don't.
instead they are allowed carefree lives.
its mostly those women who choose to get a stressful job that get all this shit with the men.

An Eternal Now SG

becos dying beats living a life with no sex

fymk SG

Actually the government spends on promoting healthy eating ,quit smoking campaign , PE in schools that are related to all these major diseases etc .
It is hard to assume that women should have these diseases should there be societal discrimination. Life long socialisation process of men are influenced by culture : men are traditionally the bread winners, with work comes stress, with stress comes heart problems and wrong coping behaviours like smoking. However saying this, women also have hypertension, diabetes, cardiac problems, lung diseases, reproductive diseases (why do u think women have to have pap smears). Men just happen to die younger ? because of stress in life.

Women have to compete against men . I don't get into shit with my male colleagues. To assume all women have carefree lives is wrong. Women are traditionally the domestic managers - they cook , clean, give birth and look after the children as well as manage the household expenses (after all who goes to the market). Women cope with stress by expressing themselves more = crying /nagging/hugging/complaining. Men are more of the nan zhi han ta zhang fu - they keep things to themselves for the sake of keeping the peace as well as to show emotional strength which is also their greatest weakness.

Women in the working world have their form of stressors, competing with men for places. Needless to say the physiological functions of women is detrimental to women - employers worry about a woman getting married because usually they end up getting pregnant . Maternity leave translates into losses for the employers. Many working women remain single and marry later in life because of this factor. Besides we only seen women being independent and fully self supporting from the late last century. The percentages of women having the same number of diseases as working men cannot be compared 1 on 1 - it presents a bias.

Even the working world is not easy for women . Occasionally as a woman ,you get some snide remarks, inappropriate touching etc from male colleagues. But I am not saying society as a whole discriminates.....it is some individual a.sshole who discriminates once in a while or view women as the lower species. Women who work their way up the ladder tend to be proud of their achievements because of these negating factors which they manage to overcome. So does society discriminate against women ? NO. Then why are there discriminations? because of some asses .

Gender discriminations occur just like racial discriminations because of individuals . We cannot blame society for the sins of these individuals .

JusticeLegal :
If you are not happy about something, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Complaining and whinging about things not going your way is not going to change anything.

p1- ok, i guess i would agree.
p2- furthermore, our society discriminates against men who complain. especially backtalk from the ladies. "be a man!" which is odd, because an hour ago they were complaining, "men don't express their feelings." =S
p3 - those women who go into the corporate world have a higher level of stress, and are dying faster, than their domestic counterparts =) and yeap, pregnancy is a killer for employers.
p4 - umm.. you can always lodge a complaint against those harrassers =)
and btw, in case you are one of those types, if you wear something that exposes bits of your body, you are annoying the guys. so you can't complain if they annoy you back.
"i can wear what i want."
"well, i can call you as i see you."
and what negating factors?
in fact, with women in jobs, men are more in deep shit.
offend a woman, and she will use the law to protect herself, and get the guy fired. even if he is innocent. its the stupid laws fault, but women should not abuse the power. unfortunately, its a trend...
face it, women can always cry rape.
and frame a guy for it.
and even if she loses the case,
no one will arrest her.
many young girls realise this.
and abuse it.
just to ruin some guys life.
all because he did not agree with her narrow point of view.
you think harrassment is bad?
try going to jail for something you did not do!
oh yeah, and the courts actually make sure the identity of the accuser is not revealed.
meaning she can try the same thing on another innocent guy.
=)

hrm can't paste quote Sad

anyways apollo861 . Work dressing must be appropriate . If the person doesn't dress appropriately , tell her to dress more appropriate the next time and do it professionally. I do that to some of my "underdressed" staff members . You can't just use "I can call you as I see you" in general - it is opening a pandora's box. It is as though" you see a kid with down syndrome and call him a retard , and it is right" type of statement .

Individuals must be held for their actions , not the general lot of society. However in cases of rape, for every women who cries wolf , there are real rape victims around. It is an ethical argument which can go on and on and on. If there is a law enacted to protect men against false accusations, now rape is hard to prove enough because of the consent involved. What if a true rapist gets acquited because of a lack of evidence - won't he turn around and get the victim in trouble? Saying that , as much as I hate rapists , I despise women who cry wolf because they are the ones who destroy the REAL rape victims.

Not all rapes can be proven but that doesn't mean it didn't happen . You really have to show me the stats of rising trends in crying wolf. Rape is a heinous crime , doesn't matter if it happens to children or women or sometimes even men. Psychological impacts of rape are damning .

Negating factors are plenty for women. Physiologically we are disadvantaged - we get pregnant. Culturally some women are disadvantaged by the mindsets of a conservative individuals : to these individuals women belong at home not at work. Traditionally women are the homemakers and childcarers. When a child is sick , it's mostly the mother who looks after the child . If she is working....she needs to take leave ...employers don't really like people taking leave other than annual leave.
You also cannot deny there are some employers who discriminate against women.

We can't generalise it to everyone in society . Some women can be one of the worse creatures on earth but that doesn't mean all women are . Some men are the worse asses on earth but that doesn't mean all men are. For every individual example that is quoted - there will always be an opposing example.

My stance remains in general ,singaporean women are not being discriminated against by the whole society. We can continue arguing who is worse off by using individual or assumed examples but it doesn't prove anything at all. There are some individuals who are responsible for creating the impression there is some sort of discrimination in society - yes . However every individual is responsible for seizing opportunities and advancing beyond their perceived potential ,regardless of race, class , gender. They can meet their aspirations if they try hard enough, men or women.

apollo861 SG

haven't really read your post, just skimmed through..
but i agree so from what i can see..

apollo861 SG

false rape accussation is rising.
not sure about sg,
but in america, it is proven to be more than 1% of the population
which means roughly 2,800,00 men are being falsely accused.
but yeah, it is these women who falsely accused.
i am not attacking rape victims.
i am attacking those who implement the law.
to them, a woman's word is the truth.
THATS THE MAIN PROBLEM!
they don't need proof of their accusation, just their mouths.
And many swines realise this, and abuse it.
because:
1)there is no penalty even if they are proven to be liars..
2)their identity is protected.
and because humans are quite retarded psychologically,
they will identify the falsely accused guy as a rapist.
even though he has been proven innocent.
thus his reputation has been tarnished,
for reasons not of his doing.

where did i deny there are employers who purposely discriminate against women?
or did i misinterpret your statement?
however, you fail to realise that women can just bring the matter to a tribunal council, and screw the sexist dog over.
thus employers don't dare to offend women.
in fact, it has become such that women would use this in conjuction with the crappy rape accusation system to make employers do things the way they want.
in fact, name me a male employer who discriminates against women.
hmm...
any??
in fact, it is mostly female employers who discriminate against female employees. at least for those cases of discrimination. most female employers don't discriminate. male employers don't even dare think about it. those who do don't stay very long in power.
=)

ah yes.
but a child with down syndrome did not choose to be born with that.
its not their fault.
some sluts purposely dress scantily, and said it is their freedom to do so.
which concludes that guys should be able to do what they want too, well, except beastial crap. its their freedom of speech.
otherwise, its just double standards.
i don't even do that(call girls names, i think its just crude.*), but i can see the type of hypocrisy these bloody swines throw around.
for some reason they think their priveleges is more important than men.
but even then, they don't even realise they are the ones who are sexist.

*like how i don't like promiscuous lifestyles, but i understand why guys prefer that, especially with marriage being catered to make the guy's life totally miserable, unless he got really lucky with a sincere girl. and the number of sincere girls is declining, or so it seems. well, in case you are wondering, i will probably be a virgin all my life. if a girl cannot wait at least 5 years before i propose to her, she has a 90% chance of trying to destroy my life. thankfully there are honest and sincere girls out there, so i might find taht one person.

man, i am too idealistic.

anyway, you seem to be more of a true equal rights advocate.
which means we are on the same side.

sbst275 SG

Another fact is that women is spared from the cane. Apollo, this is something that is not EQUAL…

apollo861 SG

and shorter jail periods too...
and more likely to be pitied when having commited heinous crimes.
and easier to pass NAPFA test. =S

do guys have anything easier for them than girls?
enligten me.
pls..
oh, the condition is that you must give me something from a social perspective.
not physiological or genetic..

sbst275 SG

I think ladies dun want the cane to be introduced... It is going to be a fate worst that men. But they prefer the spank... I dun pity those

Guys is easier to get PR status (Rather, faster) as boys below 18 automatically gets their citizenship once completing NS, while ladies have to wait for years
