Demons and Airwaves

How long does it take for me to drive home from ntu at peak hour? 2 hours.

2 hours of excruciating stop-and-go, not to mention crappy radio advertisements.

Take Amore fitness for example: "go show the men how you can work it" (some fitness event)

Maybe I'm just being sensitive (being in an academic environments where half the girls hold some sort of feminist, neo-marxist ideal), but this is the sort of crap that women seeking emanicipation from a patriachal, engendered society have to put up with. Subtle digs at presupposed female weaknesses and blatant subject positioning in order to maintain a status quo that disadvantages women.

Of course it is sad that many women have come to accept such a status quo and become numbed to the point of apathy, leading to a vicious cycle of self-fulfilling discrimination. It is even worse that many of my fellow men will no doubt disagree with my sympathy for the feminist movement.

However, I do have one key point of contention with regards to feminist discourse: the meaning of the term MCP.

Pigs are rather intelligent.

I'd prefer a break-down to male chauvinist patsy and male chauvinist pansy (using their own lingo). The patsy's are the gullible morons who subscribe to whatever views their fellow in-group happens to subscribe to. The pansy's are the ones who do not dare challenge the blatant fact that half of the world's population faces some sort of discrimination or other every single day.

Definitely, the excuse of one man not being able to make a difference is simply that: an excuse.

For well you know that that its a fool who plays it cool,
By making his world a little colder.
