OH ITS CONFIRMED at 4:30 PM

ohhh its confirmed.new eye candy. today was so fun we had this debate-like discussion in class. men VS women. on gender stereotypes. and i was the scribe. so we had like ten minutes to write words describing the opposite gender.the girls wrote things like egoistic,commitment phobics and a whole lot more.so then the guys wrote materialistic,cry babies,act cute,and then some guy wrote this,"don't diss the girls so much,we're going to marry them anyway." HAHAHA and then ian wrote lousy drivers and then chaos broke out cause that is so not true. then mrs quah said that she was utterly disappointed with the guys.before the guys started writing stuff on the board mrs quah hoped that they would not write a single thing.cause women look for gentlemen. not guys who insult the opposite gender with the words,bitch and bimbos. oh,hell,are they gonna stay single for the rest of their lives,or what. here's a tip to the guys reading. be a gentleman. (:

here's a piece that we recieved in class.

It's high time that men ceased to regard women as second class citizens.

This is supposed to be an enlightened age,but you wouldn't think so if you heard what the average man thinks of the average woman.Women won their independence years ago.After a long,bitter struggle,they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world.They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every field.The hard-fought battlefor recognition has been won,but it is by no means over.It is men,not women who still carry on the sex war because their attitude remains basically hostile.Even in the most progressive society,women continue to be regarded as second class citizens.To hear some men talk,you'd think that women belonged to a different species.

On the surface,the comments made by men about women's abilities seem light-hearted. The same tired jokes about women drivers are repeated day in,day out. This apparent light-heartedness does not conceal the real contempt that men feel for women.However,much men sneer at women,their claims to superiority are not borne out of statistics.Let's consider the matter of driving,for instance.We all know that women cause far fewer accidents than men.They are too conscientious and responsible to drive like maniacs.But this is a minor quibble.Women have succeeded in any job you care to name.As politicians,soldiers,doctors,factory-hands,university professors,farmers,company directors,lawyers,bus-conductors,scientists and presidents of countries,they have often put men to shame. And we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these fields,in addition to bearing and rearing children.Yet men go on maintaining the fiction that there are many jobs women can't do. Top level political negotiations between countries,business,and banking re almost entirely controlled by men,who jealously guard their so-called "rights". Even in otherwise enlightened places like Switzerland,women haven't even been given the vote.This situation is preposterous.The arguments that men put forward to excuse women from all these fields are all too familiar.Women.they say,are unreliable and irrational.They depend too little on cool reasoning and too much on intuition and instinct to arrive at decisions.They are not even capable of thinking clearly. Yet when women prove their abilities,men refuse to acknowledge them and give them their due.So much for a man's ability to think clearly!

The truth is that men cling to their supremacy because of their basic inferiority complex.They shun rela competition.They know in their hearts that women are superior and they are afraid of being beaten at their own game.One of the most important tasks in the world is to achieve world peace between the nations.You can be sure that if women were allowed to sit round the conference table they would succeed brilliantly,as they always do,where men have failed for centuries.Some things are too important to be left to men!
