The Issue of Comfort Women Part 3

The Issue of Comfort Women

Two days ago was International Women’s Day, and I came across a video on YouTube posted two years ago about comfort women. It reminds me of the fact that even though it’s been sixty six years since the end of the Second World War, there’s been no official apology for women who were forced to be

China’s sexist culture – from the point of view of a Chinese girl

There seem to be a lot of excuses for the blatant sexism in Chinese society. “It’s the government’s fault.” “Men do more work and therefore deserve more respect.” “Women want it.” “It’s right; Confucius (a man) said so.” Et cetera, et cetera. While I do not claim to speak for all Chinese women, I also

Chinese Women

I am appalled by the attitudes shown in this video, barring, of course, the attitudes of the fashion editor. Why should a woman change her appearance so that she is more appealing to the other sex? The first girl, the nursing student, said that elongating her legs would increase her employment opportunities. Maybe it’s true

An interesting generalization…

…and we all know that generalizations are only broad comments and therefore does not apply to everyone. Here is the original post. Here is my modified and reversed version. Have you ever noticed… …everyone who tries to advocate an unpopular Biblical doctrine paints himself as heroic? …everyone who tries to advocate an unpopular Biblical doctrine

A Different Type of Discrimination

Right now, I should be getting dressed and eating breakfast instead of being on the computer. However, I don’t want to go offline yet, as I’m in the middle of a role-playing game. It’s funny how addictive the internet is. Perhaps I crave the companionship of people like me. Creative people are a rare breed.

Christian Bale and World Events

No, I’m not going to blog about Christian Bale and his life; that’s his business. Truth be told, I’m more interested in the newspaper itself. It’s very interesting actually. Notice how the headline about Mr. Bale has a bigger font than the one about the man who did something nasty with a bulldozer? Moreover, the

Idiots and…wise people?

The other day, I was making up a statement concerning freedom and wisdom and I needed a group noun for wise and smart people. Being the relatively studious sort of person, I went and got my Oxford Thesaurus off my bookshelf and tried to look for something which would suit. One of the few words I knew

I’m feeling lazy. What’s new?

I should be typing up my latest fanfiction chapter at the moment. It’s supposed to be three to four thousand words long, and while I have it all written out by hand, getting it down in electronic form can be a bit of a bother because typing can be rather boring, especially if you are

Technology–the new conqueror

Yesterday morning, I discovered that my new mp3 player wasn’t working. It might not seem like a big deal, but to me, it was. See, I had been planning on taking it to university so I could work under the influence of music. The malfunctioning of that tiny machine stressed me out so much that
