I better also quickly add here that, of course...OK. I better also quickly add here that, of course, not ALL Asian men are MCP farts - just the many that I've met throughout my life, including the most MCP of all...my dad, of course.<BR/><BR/>Apologies to you if you are reading this and you happen to be Asian and male, YOU are an exception and not an MCP, I'm sure, but if you are, please change.Angelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457010067448558326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752172.post-30229998764306602822007-02-15T23:54:00.000+08:002007-02-15T23:54:00.000+08:00My dear. if you ask me, it's not "Men", it's "Asia...My dear. if you ask me, it's not "Men", it's "Asian and Most Third World Country Men".<BR/><BR/>Seriously.<BR/><BR/>Don't mean to say something against your husband, but I cannot imagine a friend who cares about you (not to mention beloved life partner) who would not at the very least take turns with you to drive on a long journey like this knowing that you get carsick and knowing that toddlers in cars are hard to manage creatures.<BR/><BR/>In fact, I cannot come up with even a single valid reason why your husband won't take turns with you that does not either directly or indirectly diminish women.<BR/><BR/>If he says that he has to drive because he is a better driver, he is saying that you (woman) are a lousy driver compared to him (man)(which I believe is patently false since any auto insurance company will tell you that women are safer drivers than men and are also less likely to get into an accident).<BR/><BR/>If he says that he has to drive because baby is your responsibility since you are mother. HUH? That's even more infuriating.<BR/><BR/>Among the white Canadian mothers I know, I can't think of a single one who would tolerate such treatment. Could it be because the women do not tolerate it that such blatant MCP-ism barely exists among upper and middle-class white Canadian men? or could it be that the feminist movement of the 60s and 70s in the west has spawned mothers who taught their sons well about how to treat the women in their lives?<BR/><BR/>Whatever it is, I believe that it will ultimately have to be up to us, women, to educate men or at least the men in our lives about how to treat women with a little more respect and consideration. We're not asking for much - just to be treated the way they themselves expect to be treated.Angelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457010067448558326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18752172.post-59916181778079691692007-02-15T20:21:00.000+08:002007-02-15T20:21:00.000+08:00I have no idea what "GONG XI GONG XI GONG XI NI AH...I have no idea what "GONG XI GONG XI GONG XI NI AH DONG DONG CHIANG" means.
