Women Don't Need Men

Women today either marry late or they don't marry at all. Statistics from many countries especially developed countries like Singapore show that many women marry after their thirties compared to the early twenties or even in their teens less than half a century ago.

The world today is very different compared to yesterday. For example, yesterday only straight sex is acceptable. Today we can hardly keep track of the variations. We not only have heterosexual but homosexual, bisexual, transexual, transvestite, gay, lesbian, pondan, bapuk, hermaphrodite and many others. All are clamouring for acceptance and recognition. The world has since been more understanding and tolerant to other sexual inclinations.

Not only the marriage age has gone up but the divorce rate also has shot up. In America, at least one third on all marriages ends up in divorce courts. (Some say the actual figure is as high as 50%). In fact there is a standing joke that says that marriage is the present tense of divorce.

Woman today are also different from her sisters of yesterday. Yesterday she can accept her man having affairs. In China for example, a wealthy man can have "three wives and four concubines". It is perfectly acceptable. Today, she says, "over my dead body".

Women of yesterday are not independent. They depend entirely on their husband for their livelihood. One of the main factors is education. Women were not given the chance to go to school. They are therefore not able to command jobs and earn high income. They have to stay at home and answer to every beck and call of their husband.

Today, women are educated, can command a good job and earn enough to support themselves. In some cases they even earn more than their husband. They are now independent. That's why today they do not need to get married for economic reasons. They do not need to put up with all the "nonsense" by their husband.

In Asia, a lot of women nowadays do not even get married because of many stories by their friends who have less than a fairy-tale ending with their spouses.

Men therefore have to work double hard to win the hand of their dream lovers. They are now less of the weaker sex compared to before.
