LOW BIRTH RATE
A nation of spoilt princesses?

THE Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware) seemed to suggest last Thursday ('Singapore still far behind in true gender equality: Aware') that women are free from blame for the declining birth rate in Singapore.
In Singapore, most parents urge their children to excel in studies and focus on their career. Few prepare their children for the rigours of parenthood.
Many households also employ maids. As a result, our boys and girls grow up lacking parenting skills and are clueless about household chores. The boys, however, have responsibilities forced upon them in the form of national service. Not so the girls. They are free to place personal ambition above all else.
Many women choose to remain single because they do not see the need or the urgency to get married. They do not need a man to provide for them and they can always depend on their girlfriends for emotional support. As for sex, few see the need to have it regularly.
Even when a woman does want to get married, her expectations get in the way. The man must be her 'type'. He must have a great job, good income, be reasonably good-looking and he must also charm her off her feet before she will contemplate marriage.
Our society glorifies the career woman. Lifestyle and fashion magazines devote pages to tips for the career woman to get ahead. Floors in shopping malls cater exclusively to the needs of these women and credit card and insurance companies vie for their money.
As a result, women are spoilt for choice. Egged on by society, free from national service and reservist obligations and not needing a man, they are totally free to focus exclusively on their careers. Choosing to get married and have children is committing career suicide.
The conclusion is inevitable. We have raised a nation of 'spoilt princesses' unwilling and unable to handle the rigours of motherhood.

We (our lays) have lost sight of the joy and excitement of motherhood, helping our fellow men (to prevent being displaced by talented foreigners). The joy and excitement of seeking and understanding of the joy of the miracle of the living the duty and the grandeur. We have lost taste for heroic bed action in the service of our great nation.

we are missing the point. The point being, its fucking expensive to have kids here...we can even barely feed ourselves, safeguard our jobs, retirement, how to have kids and ask them to fend for themselves and fight amongst the throngs of FTs and decreasing value of money against rising inflations...duh....

[ah_phah]

the fella forgot to add... our sinkie ladies are more than prepared to lose their panties & spread legs for the angmos, they also wont mind spending & splurging $ on lil white faces, as long as its a male that she fancies.

those that bother tying the knot is so that she has somebody to exploit & exercise her double standards to the fullest extent. she can have her income & pamper herself with all the creature comfort, while the husband bleeds to finance everything that the empty-shell home "needs" (note: her "wants" are renamed as "we need")

The writer seemed to have captured the essence of the issue well. Certainly better than AWARE.
