"Women need to listen to men to know what is beautiful about them, men know best"
"No matter how high you study, kitchen will always be your place"
Listening to the statements above made me so outraged, and all the sudden my feminism kicks in. I wanted to argue those statements stating this is not the year of our parents in which women have to listen to men to determine the value of beauty in them, but out of respect I just kept quiet. Even some men blame women for the sexual urges in them; this belief has caused most rape victims to just accept what happen to them as fate. Women have been objectified, treated as second class citizen never as an equal, even though in various occasions women have proven to be more than just a typical housewife. In researches involving the success of an organization, it stated repeatedly that women have outwitted men in form of emotional intelligent and are added values in the current workforce.
The little voice in my head, was banging so loud, to let it out so that I can say "Only cavemen need to hit a woman on her head to claim she is his, that practice has extinct a long time ago".
Read "Young Women speak Out (English Version) or Perempuan Muda Bersuara (Malay version) it may not be a best seller but it helps to educate more.

Was that statement made in the 1950's? Cause it doesn't belong in the 21st century.
Any cretin who parrot that are emasculated and fearful of change. Because you can see that a man's world is not exactly a peaceful and thriving one. It is time that women take over.
*grin*
It was made in the 21st century by a man with a mindset of 1950.
