SINGAPORE: A woman took to social media advising other females on the social conduct they should be upholding.
In an anonymous post to popular confessions page SGWhispers, she wrote: “Here’s my point : It’s also tiring for a man to tell their woman to be feminine. But yet, this is socially acceptable. Woman be saying things like “I’m not your property” and argues with their man when won’t allow certain things, but yet expects the man to do literally everything for her”. She added that while men needed to get things done, all women needed was to listen to their male counterparts, “which most of the time are very reasonable things to listen to. Stop making up stories and play victim and take it to the extreme”, she wrote.
“Imagine you saw your man do absolutely nothing for a week. No job, no work, nothing productive, not planning on anything for your future with him. All he does is play video games all day and sleep all day long. You have to tell him again and again to start working on himself, to get a job, to start taking the relationship seriously, etc. He doesn’t listen. In fact, he keeps fighting back and argue with you. Would you stay? Obviously, you won’t. If you stay, you’re an idiot. You won’t stay cause you find it unattractive that you need to tell him to do things all the time instead of him doing it by himself without being told. That’s the ultimate truth. It’s pathetic to tell a man how to be manly”, she wrote.
Netizens who commented on her post seemed to be rather sceptical: “Im still trying to let your post sink in. So your issue is with men who dont pull their weight at home for one week (?).. women who are not feminine or like to play victim because their man dont let them go out grocery shopping? Is the argument based on why it is not okay for a woman to expect her man to be productive but okay for a man to expect his woman to be feminine? Too much to dicipher this early in the morning”.
Another commented: “A man is always seem as the leader of the family. So he should have the earning power and finanical ability to take care and provide for the family. Understand that not everyone can earn good money but at least he must work. If he work and doesn’t earn enough understandable, as a gf/wife you can help out by working also. But if he stays at home jobless play game only this type is useless man. Better leave him early. Don’t wait behind you get pregnant then he no money bla bla bla then very complicated”./TISG
