Dear Diary
What is it about Asian society that will always blame the woman for everything that goes wrong and for nothing that goes right?
Gossiping among men is as potent as the stereotypes against women portray……. In fact it is even more dangerous because they are taken seriously.
Recent events have enabled a group of men (of all ages) to spread rumours about a friend that are just untrue and that I find quite hurtful to both her and her children. They do not even know the circumstances of her divorce but have sought to defame her, blame her and ridicule her and womankind. What is this about?
Their reasoning is that a woman should always stay married no matter what the husband has done? Are they insane? Everything should be hushed under the carpet so that there would be no reason for people to talk. Yet they are the people who are talking, even worse, speculating without knowledge or evidence. It isn’t even on hearsay, they are just making it up. They are ruining a woman’s reputation for taking a stand and furthermore, subjecting her children (who they claim to care about) to malicious gossip.
How are we ever going to move on from this hideous culture of blaming women if the men, especially the younger ones, cannot see past their pig ignorant and arrogant noses.
This makes me so angry.
