Malaysia is considering allowing schools to cane unruly girls to curb an upsurge in discipline problems including gang fights and bullying, reports said Wednesday.
Currently only boys are caned in Malaysian schools, but only rarely and for serious offences. The punishment is administered on the buttocks or the palm of the hand.
Ouch! The girls are getting canned this time around as well. I actually think they should have been sparred of it since they're the fairer sex anyway. Aren't we used to keeping them away from violence and giving them space to be feminine like they should?
Corporal punishment like caning is a type of violence in my opinion.
BUT, this is a huge leap for the feminist movement demanding gender equality. While equality means equal opportunities for the two sexes, there's no reason why it should not mean equal treatment as well! In fact, many feminists are for equal treatment!
So in the future, suppose if the feminism movement has achieved genuine success, boys and girls will be treated just alike, which includes but is not limited to boys treating girls like how they'd do to boys (simplified: girls are treated like boys). Which means that men will no longer need to pay for most dates and no longer need to be gentlemanly or chivalrously since they're supposed to treat girls like how they should treat their own sex.
