Living in mm..medieval world
November 2005.Three girls from Indonesia, Malaysia and Trinidad & Tobago sat down in a deli in New York City and told each other stories from back home, including the backwardness of each society.
What made the other two jaw-dropped, however, was the story from the Indonesian girl, about the common practice of parading ‘adulterers’ naked.
“Oh my god, that’s so medieval. Even we don’t do that,” said the Malaysian girl, which made me, err, the Indonesian girl half regretted telling the story.
Fast forward to today, when I found this headline in Kompas.com: CD dan Rok Pemijat di Jakarta Akan Digembok. It's about the plan to put a lock on the pants and panties of every masseuse in Jakarta.
I know!
Everybody sing! Cause we are living in me..me..medieval world.

hi, i just happened to found your blog and i decided i like your writings and if it's ok with you, i will blog roll it.
as for the gembok, (as I mentioned in my blog) why not padlock the mouth the masseurs? why not amputate their arms too? it's clear by this brilliant decision of the government that women are apparently the source of all evil. men are just victims of the evil female lure into sinful sexual acts, and we do not want men in hell, do we? hell will be filled with predominantly women anyway..
.. i can still hear my guru ngaji tell me that .. yes, i am doomed for hell, will find some padlocks to guarantee me a place in heaven..

Hi Rima, thanks for deciding to like my writings :) Can't agree more with you. The thing that disturb me most about this issue is also why women once again are the culprit in this kind of issue.
Btw, the thing about men as head of the family? That always gives me an itch, cause it doesn't accept the concept of equal partnership in a household.

to ease your 'itch' this is a personal quote of mine:
While I agree that the husband is the head of a family, I must insist that the wife is the neck of the family, for she is the one supporting the head and she is also the one who points him in the right direction

for me personally, i let my man win one battle (he thinks he is the head of the family) while i win the war. After a year and a half of living together and 5 years of marriage he now knows better than to think he is the head of the family lol.
