can there ever be sexual equality in singapore?
-
sexual equality...tis topic has been argued before...in my opinion, sexual equality can nvr happen in singapore...both males n females have advantages in diff. ares...when it comes to the law...females have the advantage...they have more laws supporting them. tis is due to the fact tat traditionally females r considered the weaker sex...on the other hand, males stil maintain the advantage of occupyng most of the top posts in workplace...while its true tat females r challenging the men in tis area, most companies stil prefer sending male executives to close deals...n its also true tat most CEOs of companies r males...wad r ur views on sexual equality? can it ever be achieved? share ur tots here...

impossible. besides, i rather think the opposite gender as uniquely compatible with males. no need too equal.

Total sexual equality eh? Then dismantle the Women's Charter and make girls do NS.
If you want perfect equality, then there should also be perfect sharing of responsibilities. -
There will not be sexual equality anywhere in the world as long as the human race still have brains, literally. -
start by filling up the hole flat n cut off the extra stuff in others.Originally posted by fudgester:Total sexual equality eh? Then dismantle the Women's Charter and make girls do NS.

i agree tat wif perfect equality comes perfect sharing of responsibilities...i noe of gals who took up tasks or roles commonly played by guys n then complain tat its too tough...
but making gals do ns wil nt balance things out cos the gals wil then say: y dun u guys get pregnant?n even if gals do ns, they wun be placein combat units like guys...their work is more towards admin. even if they r posted to combat units...society stil see them as the weaker sex n hence nt suitable for tough physical training -
all rubbish talk.

Im not sure what your premise exactly is. This topic title assumes that there's no equality/ equity. But I think the issue is more of stereotyping, whether it is based on gender, race, age, or even looks. Everybody of us, including you and me, is subject to this stereotyping by other people, and conversely we also stereotype on others around us. It is not so much of inequality or inequity.

Not just sexes. Everyone has their own strength and weaknesses. Even amoungst men...some are very adapt at survival. Others are just whiners and always bitching about how little money they got...how much taxes they pay...COE...high cost of fuel...blah blah blah...
Some men are just cool level headed people who just make it in life.
Who said this world was fair? -
The issue is not sexual equality but one of RELATIVE equality.
For the calculative breed, there will never be a balance that qualifies as such. Stinging issues such as National Service, labourous industries including construction and shipping etc will always remain a firm barrier to 'total equality'.
But with a broader spectrum of education, a greater awareness of the opposite sex and a reversal of the stereotype mentality that has long branded females as 2nd class to men, attitudes may change over time and a deeper respect may develop between the two sexes.
Scandinavian countries such as Sweden have been very successful in this aspect and their population has been extremely receptive to the idea of women being granted bigger and more prominent roles in various industries including the civil service. This is to such an extent that it is required by LAW that 1/3 of Swede Parliament comprise female MPs.
No female visitor feels intimidated nor discriminated in Sweden as a result.
For Singapore to reach this goal requires an open mindset, one that we are still decades away. -
Total sexual equality will never happen because of biological factors. A girl's brain is formed differently from a guy's brain.

Physically, girls will be able to do things as well as guys do, as seen in the corporate world. However, there are still some things they can't do which the guys can do, like 3-D imaging. Girls' brains aren't as well formed to see such things, but a guy's brain is made to be so.
And we can talk better with people of the same gender. Most of those top position holders are males, so it makes sense to send males to close deals.
