This afternoon I had the displeasure of taking the 'women only' coach in the train. To put it briefly, THEY have introduced 3 designated coaches only for women. One might ask..how does this work..is there a pact of trained dogs waiting to rip balls off men when they try to alight this women coach? Well close..you have a number of 'POLIS BANTUAN' literally translated to 'help police' whom are there to chase guys (and gals that look like guys) away to jump into the more gender friendly coaches.
As a 21st century woman who yearns to be treated like an equal opportunity democrat that secretly yearns to have the door opened for her. I couldn't help but smirk to this new 'law and arrangement' So here I was queuing and this woman pushes me to get into the train 2 seconds before I do. I mean..how does it matter to be on a women coach? People are still rude and annoying!!
And didn't we fight for equality??? Why in gay hell do we need separate coaches?? Are we coddling our society's perverts by saying..'There there.I know you can't keep it in your pants when I stand next to you in a moving train..so why don't I just disappear and have a coach all to myself?'
As time goes by, I have not once but numerous times made fleeting comments about how we as a society are just going backwards because I don't remember things being so segregated back when i was a kid, and this is just another clear example. Soon their going to segregate coaches based on BUMIPUTRA'S ONLY??
It is such an insult to one's intelligence when you conform to people's ideology without studying it or questioning it. Segregating people based on their gender is one of the lowest forms of discrimination and it only makes the woman look like a victim when she is not. May as well slap up back to the 1950's, and put us to work in the kitchen scrubbing floors.
