The Question About Gen Y Women

Friday, April 2, 2010 Posted by dueng
Recently, I read this book.

Invisible Trade, talking about high-class sex for sale in Singapore. Singapore known to legalize sexual transaction in Geylang area. That's equivalent to Batam in Indonesia.

Working lady, prostitute, hooker, whore, stripper, call girl, escort, gigolo, toy boy etc could be all classified as sex worker. They're getting paid for doing sexual related things. It's a good book really for most part cause it's a good tragedy. I just love good tragedy. The rest is in the details.

Anyhow, a colleague brought up an interesting topic in the office. She was saying that Gen Y women not care much if their husband getting into affairs as long as money and/or love is there for them. They could just be satisfied with money and/or love cause it's expected from the man they're married to have an affair - knowing how many attractive yet single ladies out there.

I couldn't help but to disagree at some point of the statement. I agree that Gen Y women not care much if their husband getting into affairs but love and money couldn't just heal you out of it. What I could see in Gen Y women are more independent thought in them. Most of them used to work at some point of their single life which normally could ended up with marriage around 25-30 years old normally. They get so much exposure on living on their own and most of them still keep working even after marriage. Dependencies towards man and position of man as breadwinner wasn't a natural factor anymore in marriage. Husband and wife depending on each other both emotionally and financially.

That's mean Gen Y women have better options should an affair broke up in their marriage. Not that they couldn't care much but they have ways to deal with it by terminating the marriage and starting brand new life. Women nowadays even get paid more than they used to hence they could earn more than men.

However, it's also relate to the point of peer pressure whereby women nowadays being brought up in such luxurious lifestyle that it comes to their nerves. As I would like to relate back to the book that I read, more and more university student and young professional getting into escorting and call girl business. As highlighted in the book, they're doing it to get some extra money and sometimes to get the luxury of getting showered with luxury items/attention from men - it's noted that most men who using escort service or call girls agent are men with money to burn. It's an interesting point to note that the women getting into this for money while the men getting into this for attention and love. Both could get into trouble; married men get into affairs and young women trapped into cycle of vicious sexual transaction to satisfy their pleasure guilty ridden over their head.

But again, who am I to judge them? What I could see is just good business. (err...not i'm pimping nowadays. I'm still small time "machai" in this big corporation.)

Anyhow, I'm trying hard to finish this book cause it has second edition which I presume would tell more dark tragedies. I enjoy the book so far. Owh...this book written by Gerrie Lim and this book sells at Monsoon Books. You could find it here: http://www.monsoonbooks.com.sg/bookpage_0510336.html

    NYUM. the cover is interesting. nanti mau pinjam!

    p/s: Sue! mana post ari kames!

  2. hahahaha. the story even more interesting.

    a ah, mana post ari khamis? hahaha.

  3. women seeks security, previously That is one of the main reason why they get married in the first place.

    Now, we hold a career that can give us the same (or maybe more) security than what a husband a.k.a. the breadwinner can give us.

    Owh, please assume that love is a permanent condition in those two examples given above ;)

    P/s: Thursday post dah ade... down below on the supposed date :D

  4. yes, i guess security is the things for woman. as the old saying goes; women worry bout herself until she get married, men worried bout nothing until he get married. nowadays, that doesn't apply much as woman could earn as much as man.

    so, chenta itu constant variable eh? hahahaha. anyway, love and money drive the world mad. the rest is just human. :)

  5. wait, apakah gen y women?
    as far as i'm concerned, women only have XX genes.
