I was sorting through some past year O-level oral passages when I noticed one about a Chemistry practical lesson in college. The storyline was basically about two girls who join the lesson. In the passage, it was emphasised twice that the girls were pretty and the key idea in the story was that these two… Continue reading »

… and again
From today’s ST Online: Talk only about sacrifices & problems of women; trivialise those of men Yeah, yeah. Quoted out of context (not that I think it matters …) Saying that there exists discrimination of females as a whole does not mean that unfairness towards individual men does not exist. As a male in the… Continue reading »

I read the comments on the whole teaching as a career issues on the ST online and I noticed a number of people whose main argument… Continue reading »

Being a Female Fan
I’ve been reading Newsrama’s Fangirl Invasion series (part 1, part 2, part 3) recently and it has got me thinking about being a fan, who happens to be female, of geeky things in Singapore.
