We shall learn from the tribes too.. ;)
Happy Mother's day! ( Haha.. A day late edi.. =P ).. Didn't do much on Sunday, just had dinner out to celebrate this day.
My dad was discussing about a topic, and his thoughts bout it during dinner. It's very logical, and we should really give it some thoughts.
He introduced the topic with what he saw on some documentary clip, about a tribe in China. The men don't work, and they stay in another village. The women however stay with the family & do all the work. Couples seldom see each other, as the women will be working a lot, and the men has to travel for quite a long time to reach the women's village.
My dad then went on sharing his thoughts. His point was, we (especially M'sian Chinese) now live in a society where the womem will shift in with the men's family after getting married (or stay out - in a seperate house). He said, in general, girls / daughters are the ones who take care of the parents - that is, if anything were to happen (eg: parents fall ill ~ have to stay home & nurse parents). Plus, females are in general, more sensitive compared to men. Therefore, if they live with their in-laws and if any arguements (or the likes) occur, females will suffer more. And the husband will have to deal with both sides etc, everything will be very complicated to handle.
He suggested that we (society) should think on behalf of the well being of everyone (or to have an easier life, *LoL*). If the men were to shift into his in-law's house (or at least stay nearer to his in-laws), things would be easier to handle - IF anything happens lar. Reason being, men are usually less sensitive & less "detailed minded" (haha.. if u get what i mean), they can cope easily (compared to the wife lar). Men are less emotional in that way. And the wife can easily go take care of her parents. What about his parents? Like I said, usually the nursing etc, are done by the daughters. Somehow.
It is logical, very.. huh? ;)
Btw, the Malays in Malaysia, the guy moves into his in-laws. Hehe.. No wonder they have less problem in that area (I think).
What do you think bout this whole idea?
And yea.. I think it's somehow our (females) nature to be more sensitive etc. We are made like this. I guess no matter how much we wana be the same (as capable etc) as men, we would still have our feminine nature / characteristics. (Not saying we can't be as capable, just we'll not be exactly as what men are. It'll be a lil different). Muahaha! That's what makes us unique as a female. Oklar. Of course everyone's unique. Hehe.. Anyways, do u think this entry is like a mother / daughter / female day tribute? Co-incidently only lar. ;))
