So you are the MAN, huh?

I could not have enough of this issue. A man whom defined himself manly by oppressing the woman. Duuuhhhh... So, you tell me. How manly does this man truly is? In this digital age, there is a very thin, nearly invisible line between what pre-defined a man and a woman, apart form their biological differences.

No man would be wanted to be associated with anything other than his typical MANly stereotype. That is not too surprising because a man has this unbelievable dosage of ego. To break this phenomena is likened to femininise the man. On the contrary, there is a significant increase in woman doing the man's job. The world welcome this changes with a standing ovation. But, it is so unlikely the case if the MAN finishes his counterpart's work. Something for us to wander.

Let me ask you MAN this few questions...

1. How manly it is to allow your pregnant wife, or maybe your aging mother or perhaps your sister to do all the household chores i.e cooking, doing the laundry, gardening, taking care of the small one, while you sleeping cozily on your bed or maybe reading the newspapers or perhaps smoking the cigar and watching TV or playing computer games or PS? What's wrong with offering them a helping hand?
   
2. How manly it is to shout at your mother or maybe your sister for not preparing the breakfast or maybe not getting the meal ready when you do nothing but whining or complaining. Why can't you instead help to prepare the meal?
3. When your favourite jersey is nowhere to be found in your closet, how manly it is to yell at your mother for not getting your stuff in place? Would it do you any harm to spend less than 10 seconds to organize your own stuff? And little that you realize that you are such an ungrateful son; expecting people to get everything done for you when you did nothing in return, not even a word of THANK.

If you MAN still disagree with me and still really think that those are very feminine, try sweeping or moping the floor or cleaning the window yourself. Then, do the dusting. Try also preparing the meal for your family. And don't forget to do dishes. Owh yea, make sure that the toilets are clean too. One moment, what about the bed? Another thing, iron the clothes as well, k. Emmm, what else? Yes, the laundry. Pick them up and fold them and place them accordingly. Do all these all by YOURSELF. You would be stunned to find out the ridiculous amount of energy that is needed to run an entire house single-handedly.

What is even more embarrassing, you did not even have an initiative to get the leaking pipe fixed. Not even have the time to wash you car. What more to trim the grass. Gosh... Or are these the trait of the new generation of overly-dependent male?

Again, please HONESTLY answer this question. How MANLY it is to just sit down and to expect everything to be done for you? Even the King does not sit still. Your house is not a hotel, remember?

I understand that traditionally, the woman did it all because the man was solely the bread winner of the family. The women were typically the housewife. So, I have no issue with it. But, hey, let us men use that excuse no more, ok? Even if you are still the only wage earner or the main source of income for your family, still you have to be helpful.

Then again, I see no harm at all to provide them our assistance and to rally around right? Wouldn't it be lovely to surprise the lady of the house with a freshly brewed coffee when they wake up? Wouldn't it be lovelier to daze our loved one by cooking her favourite dish?

Being a man, I could hardly stand this stench any further. It is sickening and revolting. Let's put this unassuming and barely seen form of discrimination to an end. Let's work it out together, manly..
