the above statement proves to be true most of the time.
the closest example can be found two posts below.
how many times have you found yourself in this situation where you get into an arguement with your partner(i am addressing the guys here, but if you happen to be the 'man' in your relationship then this probably applies to you as well) and you know, god knows, and everyone else in the world knows, that you are right, you will still lose. even if you manage to pull out all the facts and figures and eye witness evidence, you will still lose.
the fact of it is that she will find someway to get back at you, or make you admit defeat. ie. derek vs siow. you come to a point where you decide that its not worth the effort you put in. because, she is woman. she is always right. she will not admit defeat nor apologise.
frustrating isnt it.
could you imagine if you got it wrong? she will never let you forget it. 20 years down the road she will somehow someway manage to bring up the topic and remind you that you were wrong. it was probably something small like buying the wrong type of milk, but she'll remember. oh boy she will remember.
*Disclaimer, none of these events or people are real. all the events or people in this post were fictional. except the derek vs siao case.

oh god. are azn womyn so petty? complaining about MILK? good god, there are far more worthy things to bicker about, like whether we should even drink MILK in the first place, because the dairy industry blatantly exploits animals, dairy runoffs pollute rivers/streams and the methane emissions from dairy cause climate change.
far out, you'd think that the world is made up of people with nothing better to do than complain all the time.
it makes me ashamed to identify myself as an asian woman, if being asian means being frivolous, selfish, narcissistic, self-centered, and ignorant to everything that's happening around me that is SO MUCH more important than just ME, ME, ME.
STEREOTYPING. that is my dirty word for today.
stereotyping is the exercise of an individual's power over another person, and because power controls how we act, think or behave, and it limits our freedom to be fully HUMAN and to fully LIVE, power is oppressive and the root cause of so much of the suffering we see in the world today, and even in our own lives.
by stereotyping one another(e.g. men/women must walk, talk, act according to what a magazine ad dictates to us), we actually contribute to our own oppression, firstly by giving someone else the power to define us in a limiting way, and secondly by submitting to it, we further add to our own unhappiness and oppression.
as an feminist, I consciously and actively DEFY society's gender roles. So what if a man likes being nurturing, emotional, gentle and motherly? SO WHAT if womyn prefer being rational, logical and likes fixing mechanical things?
SO WHAT?
every single person is born to be free. free from oppression of any kind - in this case - sexism. let NO ONE, not society, the government, or even advertising tell YOU what to do, how to act, or how to behave.
relationships are about two HUMAN BEINGS getting together with shared interests, values and finding that common ground from which they can love each other on.
winning or losing is a zero-sum game between the oppressor (the winner) and the oppressed (the loser).
in i was in such an oppressive relationship, i'd seriously reconsider the reason why i'm still hanging around.
ps: ahem, sorry for ranting/trolling on your blog
You'd better not be talking about me. You know me baby, i always win. :D hehe
