No such thing as equality among Men and Women....

...in the Asian society.

Me and WK were just talking, why people like us (educated professionals) are cursed to live the rest of our lives alone and with our 9 cats.

We just realise that men don't like ladies who are higher qualified than them. Its like they have this inferiority complex that holds them back from being with the girl they want.

Is it pure ego or is it because they just prefer simpler ladies? But we're simple too ok? Just cause we study till our ears grow long and we have more graduation photos than you do doesn't mean jackshit. Doesn't mean we're going to go against you when you marry us, or bully you into the soft-husband situation.

Perhaps men have this thinking that if we study more than him, we will be more likely to take over and reign his life rather than him do it, and ultimately we'll run the family and he'll play the second lead.

I have seen many circumstances in whereby the wife earns more money than the husband, he starts to get jealous and demands the wife to pay for EVERYTHING, just cause she earns more. There was one instance that when the wife struck lottery, he demanded a share of it, just cause so! It's like we owe it the men something just because we're doing better in our lives and earning more big bucks? How ridiculous is that?

Perhaps the cave-men like attitude still exist in our modern day men. They go out and kill the food (metaphorically speaking), and we stay at home and clean. It is just not right that we go out and work and earn more than them. But these days, it is inevitable that the female counterpart of the family has to work, because the males are just unable to take care of the family single-handedly. I'm not trying to belittle and demean them by saying this, sometimes its just life that you can't make it like the big shots do. So what do we female roles play? Of course we have to work to support the family. Thats how the cookie crumbles....

I also find the trend in professionals. Engineers, lawyers, doctors and architects. The higher your education and more professional you are, the less tendency you'll find a wife of the same background as you. Why? I really don't understand? Does it mean the more educated you are, the higher your ego? I really don't know. It is still open for discussion.

I must however say, this only reflects the Asian society. Where men and women will NEVER be equals. I personally don't support equality among men and women either. Men will always be the stronger party. Women should take the hint and let them do all the work!!!!

Most women of course like to be 'tai tai's or rich ladies that just sit around and play mahjong all day, however, there are a group of ladies who prefer to work and prove the men wrong that they too can earn a better living!

I can most understand why if I would remain on the shelf past my expiry date. Men seem to just cower away once they hear you're a lawyer. It's just ridiculous. We AREN'T going to eat you, you know. It's just a job. We won't bring it home and argue till your balls come off.

Geez.
