'R-E-S-P-E-C-T and Persians

wanted to blog about the same stuff as on Cyn's blog. in almost exactly the same way HAHA.and that was before i read her blog. great minds think alike! HAHAHAHAHA.

like that we caught 'Prince of Persia'. and that the actors in the show kept going about with American and British accents, and one of them totally sounded like Russell Brand. and i googled Persian language, and they obviously didn't speak in english. but whatever. just something random.

it was a good show though i didn't quite like the ending though it kinda made sense and all. spoiler* i mean if i were the lead male, i'd totally be frustrated that the girl totally didn't remember what happened? though if the story had a sequel he'd probably tell her, but there isn't one currently and that's why i was left feeling a little unsatisfied. HAHA good visuals though, really good.

anyway, wanted to blog about this too. the whole gender equality thing. i'm totally for the whole females and males are equal and should be treated with the same views and respect, though i know it's ironic because i do enjoy the perks of being female.

but the thing that really irks me was the way i was totally brushed off by this dude. went to this thai disco, and this manager person came over. (not sure if he's the manager cause there were quite a number of people working there wearing suits too but duh he's definitely not a waiter.) a friend introduced the group saying 'these are my friends', and that guy shook hands with all of the guys except for me. (coincidentally i was the only female that was with that group) aftermath, some friends and i concluded that he might have thought i was one of the thai girls (though i don't really think so and i guess it's just to ease the situation)

it really bothers me because he totally shouldn't have that view point (in which i'm assuming that he's being an asshole and not taking me seriously because i'm female). i mean he might have the opinion that females are lesser than males, simply because of the way the ladies there are paraded and used for entertainment. (again assumption) but then again, without these females, how would he be able to keep up with the place?

i mean i don't really care if that guy shakes my hand and acknowledges me, cause it really really doesn't matter, but the fact that he didn't just really annoyed me cause it did make it seem as if i were lesser than the guys. and it's not even once. he came over again and drank with all of them except for me. like HELLO?!

reason why i'm blogging about this is because too many cases of males taking females as the lesser gender when we're in modern society and females can do just about anything as well as males. (though the army part will be quite daunting for me) again, i say that this is ironic because i do enjoy perks of being a female, like being more protected and being taken care of, but hey i'm sure there're perks for being a guy too right? i just wish that people can treat the opposite sex with the equal amount of respect that they should have for every other human being that they might deem as an equal.

and it's really not right for me to judge him based on assumptions but i'm just calling it as i see it, his dismissive attitude and all. oh. and definitely i know that not all males are like that, and that there are pretty decent guys out there who treat women with respect and i know cause i've met a lot of them. (Y)
