Things i ponder bout me and woman

You know what I read "The Ridge" lately, and this female writer used the bra as a metaphor, about how it creates a "mental straitjacket" on us as how it controls and shapes the female body. We should just take off this mental straitjacket and really celebrate emanicipation.
well first of all i have'nt worn a bra for years so i've been truly emancipated for years ...see me in my 'free' glory .....this bra discussion reminds me of the whole bra burning exercise of the 70s ...symbolic act of liberation ...hmm i propose that women have now converted what was once a delibitating crutch into a powerful tool... a woman in her bra can be pretty commanding and persuading and they know this ... I should know , my secondary school maths teacher conducted class in her bra and i scored an A for the exams the year she taught , this class was conducted in my mind's eye by the way
But this whole issue of empowerment is not that well understood at all ..whats the difference between a feminist and gender equalitist? Next time a woman is all in your grill bout chivalry , gentlemanly conduct and what not ...ask her ...Are you a feminist or equalitist? Coz i have little sympathy for feminist - they propose that women are superior . You are not going to win the gender battle bydeclaring unfounded superiority .. So bottomline , out with the feminist - in with equalitist
The whole thing becomes complicated when equalitist still want to enjoy gentlemanly conduct which they say have translated into 'good manners' .... preferential treatment is still preferential treatment ...its complicated no ? I always brush off 'gentlemanly conduct' as a British colonial construct, its prevalence in modern day Singapore a by product of colonial bygone days .
So what prompts my acts of 'gentlemanly conduct'?.... a mix of personal gain and common sense
I'll open the door for man or woman if they cant do it themselves and I might also open the door to exchange a smile with a passing female stranger .... i try not to be ruled by social constructs which I deem irrational ... i stress the 'try'

well I am not a woman (neither a SNAG which some of my horrid friends wish to 'straitjacket' me! gosh *roll eyes*) but taking the positionality of the 'bra burning' feminist with empowerment and superiority over man...it just makes sense why they want all that emancipation shit.
Think about it, if your sex have been 'suppressed' by the other 'better' (which I seriously doubt) half...wouldnt you want to claim back some sense of superiority over them. Who cares about equality when we can give u a taste of the crap that we have been receiving from you low-lying bastards with phallus (haha I love this one). Yah taking over the driver's seat for once would be a better idea than 'striking a deal' with them guys.
haha if you ask me, the whole of equality is just a conspiracy by us men to reclaim back whatever lost ground that we have. It is just a 'face saving' exercise. Therefore, I never quite believed in the whole gender equality crap. Like you said, if we guys exert any form of 'gentlemenly' act nowadays, our act might be construed as us reverting back to the days when men dominate over the 'helpless' lass.
Its a loss-loss situation for both sides if you ask me LOL
Oh yah I forgot to add too....haha I will TRY too, like you
Wow, Seikichi, you must really be Japanese. I barely understood what you were writing. Seriously. Grammar exists for a reason dude. Anyway, I'm all for bra-burning. Do it, do it. But some bras are too tasty to burn. Moreover, spare a thought for those with enormous breasts. Bras are a necessity here, to avoid discomfort and even pain.
Think for God has not created anything finer than reason.
