The past week i'd been arguing loads of times about this. Why didn i pay for Mei Yin's prom ticket.
First of all, even if i pay, i would be my parents paying for it. Even if i pay it out of my own pocket, it's still my parents money. And besides, i'm not the only one with allowance if u know what i mean. Tatsuki said, 'if you invite the girl to come, then you should pay for her'. whats with the Should? is there such a thing as u SHOULD do something? It's always an option, whether or not u choose to do it or not. For example, one Should attend classes. It's a fact isnt it? But rule says, if you miss classes, you'll be punished. But still, there's lots of people who skip classes. Why? Dont rule say one cannot miss classes? Debbie said, 'it's the guy's courtesy to pay for the girl'. Does it mean that if the guy doesnt pay, he's faking the invitation? Or he's rude?
Last time, long ago, this tradition was so because the women are the ones that usually dont work and stay at home. Thus, they dont have financial income. That is why the guy pays for the girl. But now, both sexes work and yet, girls EXPECT the guys to pay for them. Why so? is it because the girls are looking down at themselves as being unable to support themselves? I dont know. What i believe is both are the same. I look upon girls as equals. Financially, educationally, and everything. Who gave girls the privilege? no one. Is there such a rule? no. Is the such a tradition? Yes. But issit followed by everyone? No. And who are those who follow? those who think that they are too rich, or they felt like treating the girl. It's not the duty for a man to treat women at all times. It's because he feels like it at that moment of time. Therefore, there's no such thing as a ShOuld in this arguement.
It's quite hard to actually put my thoughts into words, and besides, it's not really nice to blog about it anyway. So i therefore shall just leave it here. I SHALL say again. Everybody is Equal to me. And it's always fair that way. Bu still, how do one justify fairness? A thing is only fair when it's to the speaker's advantage. Take note. It's always the same. Including now. =)
