darn, my flooble has disappeared once again... do pose ur comments using poseurs...
i wonder what are the dilemmas faced by the singaporean men in the light of increasing feminism in sg? do they don on the snag suit when they are with their gal and chest-out when they are out with the big boys? do they face an identity crisis? will this identity crisis stir up an emotional turmoil in them? will this mean that there will be an increase in hormones, which cause women to be emotional, in men? i am not sure about the biological part but i am pretty sure that there may be some psychological effects on men. not all men, but some. as more women take on high flying jobs, more men get panic attacks of not being able to outdo these women and feel that their patriarchal position and perhaps virility are threatened. this would be a much celebrated scene for most women though. but this is probably short-lived for women since gender stereotypes still perpetuate, subjecting women to a subordinate role in society. ironically, these stereotypes are sometimes perpetuated by women themselves by allowing themselves to pose in commercials which undercut the female role in society. with dumb ass ads such as Dove, it is no wonder that men still view women as bimbos who are more concerned about their appearances and such trivialities rather than the bigger things in life. seems like the only way to hopefully put a stop to these stereotypes is to completely cut the media off our lives and go back to stone age where women were probably given more power then. *shrugs* sad to say, nobody really cares about the subjection of women, neither do i to a certain extent. with such mentality, it is no wonder that women continue to suffer thus.
