All these bloody men! A common exasperated sigh i hear from women. Generalizations aside, this week has been the epitome of complaints against the male species. A friend was complaining about her jealous boyfriend who demands all but compromises nothing, another about some ass of a hole who is looking for sexy booth girls for a roadshow job that requires you to wear spaggheti strap tops and micro mini skirts (you even have to submit full body, top and bottom photos for the application), and yet another of a married lecherous lecturer who loves the company of single young gorgeous post and undergraduates for drinks after work. In light of that, last night I was musing with a colleague about the government's preoccupation about graduate women not marrying the multitudes of lower status men, and he made a joke that i found profoundly amusing:
me: hahah ya lah gahmen now regret educating women too much. Some take this emancipation to the extreme and demand the husband take care of the kid and work while she just concentrates on being the sole breadwinner.
K.X.: no lah that's why more and more men are marrying their maids.
me: ? why?
K.X.: think about it. they cook, clean, look after your kid, remind you of your appointments, look after the house, know your family inside out, probably made friends with your friends who come over, and like your wife you pay them either with gifts or monthly allowance... only thing you don't have is sex what! so marry lah!
hahahaha hilarious! Men! buck up and go get a better job or study some more, otherwise you'll have to marry your maid!
