the logic that is China.
Posted by anya on October 15th, 2007 filed in Uncategorizedokay, I just had to make an exception from my i-am-always-too-lazy-to-post-anything-anymore rule to share this with you: (taken from tbj): In order to prevent sexism, the government is passing a law prohibiting women from certain jobs. The reasoning if the government defines the jobs for which women aren’t suitable, companies won’t be able to discriminate against women seeking jobs in non-unsuitable fields … Sound a little counter- productive? The law will take effect January 1. I LOVE CHINA! Let’s not discriminate by just putting into law that something isn’t suitable for the opposite sex! That way we get the glossed-over save-face discrimination we all know and love! La dee da. Things here are great! Today is a good China day. Found out that I will be getting a visit from my dear friend Andrei in 2 months’ time! Also, today Kathy Do bought a ticket back to China (watch, this will happen to me too… post-China depression…. must come back…), which means I get to see her for one week in the cold Beijing winter. Aaaand… it is my best-est-est friend’s Anna’s 21st birthday today! although she’s getting old, i still love her. make sure to make a grandma joke next time you talk to her!

Wow. All I can say is wow. That is messed up. That bit about the women is weird, too, but I can’t believe you actually posted! (-;
Seriously, though… they’re preventing sexual discrimination by institutionalizing it? I wonder how many people it took to come up with that idea.
