Gender Equality
Wednesday, May 24, 2006 Equalism is the name of many disjointed political philosophies developed separately by political activists. This includes people of Sexual/Gender Equalism in response to the failings they saw in certain branches of Feminism as well as people of Racial Equalism in response to the discriminatory elements of Affirmative Action (sounded pretty technical huh?) Equalism is based upon the political assertion that all individuals must be equal before society, and that every person is deserving of equal protection from and by society. Aspect of society includes legal-rights, political-rights, civil-rights, social acceptance of attire, behavior and thoughts, etc. "Gender equity", "gender equality", "sexual equality", or gender egalitarianism is the belief in the equality of the gender or the sexes. Many followers of this philosophy would like to see this term come to replace “feminism” or “masculism,” when used to describe a belief in basic equal rights and opportunities for members of both sexes within legal, social, or corporate establishments. Ppl from this school have strong beliefs that opportunities are equal to both sexes, for whatever you do, think, and act. They strive for ultimate fairness, and seek cooperative solutions so as to make things better for both males, females and everything in between. While they may share a number of critiques and analyses with self-described feminists and/or masculists, they feel that “egalitarianism” is a better word for a belief in equality than any word that focuses on one of the genders. To certain extend.. i really believe in this gender equality thing, i mean.. i don't think in extreme that it's a normal for a guy to crossdress n behave like a girl or a girl should act n live like a man or so.. but it is generally acceptable, and i think it's appropriate to allow that to happen, so long that it's not too extreme. However.. some extremists often believe that, we as human, should sooner or later evolve or become more similar and to some extend.. identical to each other. That, is a school of philosohphy which, i may not, and will not agree with them. It's true that.. the world changed, especially the recent n the past century, so much so that it altered and opened up many traditional mindsets various cultures possesses, such as the typical "sexist" view, dominionology, top-down power distance, etc. I believe in equality and unity, in terms of efforts, thoughts and essences in between, but not social engineering that would eliminate individuality. Let's just imagine that.. if somehow, one day.. all of us all think alike, likes the similar thing, eat the similar thing, works alike, etc.. woah.. that will just be a lil bit too much. Do not know why i m in such a deep thought bout all these.. but oh well.. just thought of sharing it with you guys. Now, back to the story with me being mistaken as a girl (yes, i m still not over with it), i had a chat with Sher, and according to her, i DID look like a girl from behind (looking at the pic ler..) Well.. i do not wish to believe that, and so i kinda argue with her bout that fact, and she suggested that, why not i search online and look for pictures of girl's backs? and then compare it with that picture of mine. hmmm... with a lil bit of doubt in mind.. i continued n did a search on it after all.. and let's see what we got right here.. Let's compare this back of mine.. with what i've found off the net i still think that it's quite manly looking for me (:P) Comparison #1 - Jesse (a friend of mine) Well, ignore the fact that she tied up her hair, i still think that the difference between the structure of our backs is quite huge. First up, it's the firmness of the shoulder and the back muscles, i meant, it's obvious that her back isnt firm and that's still a lil flabby (don't kill me if u see this). Second, the lil curve there down the waist line, i do not have that, and only females do. Third, i don't have that t-shirt. hmm..well.. Let's move on.. Comparison #2 - Unknown internet poser (who doesnt like to show her face) Now this.. she actually looks abit like guy from this view.. Seriously.. tho, you can still vaguely observe the waist line curves that's only applicable to female on her.. but like i said before.. it's fairly vague.. and yes, she has broad, firm, and thick shoulder.. looks like a pair of strong arms to me as well.. hmm.. i think she might be a he.. lol Comparison #3 - Unknown nudist Now, this woman here, clearly showed the obvious differences of a female back than to a guy's. First up, the shoulder blades aren't as broad and thick, second, links from the collar bones to the shoulders are normally just as the pic would suggest, not thick. Third, the obvious curve on the waist line which normally (more like 95% of the time) only possessed by females. So, the conclusion is.. I am a lil confused, as to am I being too feminine nowadays (maybe because of my hair), or is the society began to change to such a manner that, many girls look like guy from the back, so that everyone confuses everybody? P.S- not trying to be offensive here, so if you think that the above topic here is a lil sensitive, i apologize.. but yet again, it's mainly about my own doubts n thoughts.. so i don't think it will or should affect anybody else. leaving skool f-r3d at 11:37 PM 1 pokies {WTFPWNKTHXBYE} |
