It bugs me to no end when people constantly call me a feminist. I hereby ban everyone from calling me that because I simply am not a feminist.

I don't advocate for equality between the sexes, all I've been doing is to advocate for respect for women from sexists, the male chauvinistic king kong pigs who believe that women should be treated differently from a sliding scale of bad to being treated poorly.

I dislike conservative ideas such as women in general should know how to cook, should stay home after marriage or after pregnancy so as to be a perfect wife or parent. I simply don't think it is the men's call to decide what should their wives do or know. I believe a marriage is ultimately a partnership, it means the wives should be the ones deciding to give up their career or not for family, they should be the ones deciding whether to learn culinary skills or not, they are afterall the ones undergoing such changes. It's a simple theory, you are responsible for yourself, as in which organizations to work for, when to quit etc etc, yes no? So going by this theory, it simply means as a human being, you decide what is it in life you want to learn, achieve, do and give up. It's very simple ay? So what is it exactly, about this theory that makes me a feminist?

Sorry for the long absence. I'm back!

Just a good 11 days ago, I bid my undergraduate days goodbye. 3 years of life experiences all jam packed into 2 t-chest boxes, 1 big luggage and 2 small luggages.

Gimme a lil bit more time to settle down before I start blogging again, in the meantime, go get yourself a good book to read.
