The Second Sex

My colleague has no compunction telling the world that his wife has just been officially named as the President of the Bank she works for. And what bank!

How many men could be as open-minded?

This generation has seen the surge of women doing better than men in the workplace. And we thank the likes of Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath and Simone de Beauvoir for having put forward the cause of women so the second sex could be heard.

We do not compete with the other gender. We just thank heavens that competition is no longer about physical strength.

I've read the Book of Genesis a month ago and finally I have forgiven the men of old for not knowing any better.
