This is what we call gender equality.

Ever wondered why you always find girls butch (replace the 'u' with 'i' and you'll get me. This is in compliance with my 'vulgarity-free' policy) about others? Because when girls gather around and start the hour-long complaints cum reality-sharing session, it's called butching; but when guys come together and do the same thing, it's called opinion-sharing. Girls pay special attention to details, and outline every single one with the best dramatic effect they can come up with; while guys just talk about the BIG picture and DONE. So when girls gather around the table and talk, they take up HOURS; guys just take MINUTES.

And due to the difference in content and time taken to complete similar tasks, what girls do is deemed butching while guys just mean opinions-sharing.

When girls take hours to come up with a decision, they are INDECISIVE. When guys hesitate, they are trying to make the most RATIONAL choice. When girls go out in flocks, act alike and think alike, they are called BIMBOS. When guys roam in packs, act alike and think alike, however ostentatious, they are called COOL. (OK I know the last fragment of the last sentence is disputable, but that's the view of the majority, all right?) When girls come back with bags, you think they went SHOPPING. When guys come back with bags, they say they went SHOPPING FOR NECESSITIES.

Such are the apparent difference you see in girls and guys, or should I say, such are what the society - us - perceive and expect differently of both sexes. But if you examine closely, things we girls do don't differ from what YOU guys do. It's just the WAY you see it that's different. Rationalize. No I'm not talking about conjugate SETS here, though we are the conjugate SEX of our opposite sex (or SEXES?! XD)Never mind my occasional lack of self control - I just can't stop LAME stuffs from poppin' out! Back to rationalizing (man! I just can't stop thinkin' Maths! Damn those complex number lectures!) you mind. Yes, rationalize your mindset before you let words slip through your lips.

'cause it can stab. Right through the fragile heart that's beating over a cliff.

So much for gender equality, when there's never an equal platform to stand on in the first place.
No special thanks to people like you.

PS:This is the 'inspiration' I talked about during breakfastXD

What baffles me more is this. It's often not those who are different who hurt us the most. It's those who share the same physique, same status, same GENDER. Yes, I'm talking about politics. THE politics you see being played around among girls, most unfortunately. What I don't understand is, in the midst of a storm like this, when the best to be done is to hold on to each other for support, some just let go of others and watch them being carried away by the merciless hurricane?
