Unmasculine boys and masculine girls...

About the girls shinning brighter than the boys in this year's "Grade 9 Exams", I'm not surprised, but that's because it is not an unexpected event. How you make your bed is how you'll have to lie in it. What else do we expect, if when the girls were putting their nose to the grindstone, the boys were keenly following the latest trends, thinking it's cool to play fool?

I swear down if you think this generation's girls are as materialistic as we used to say they’re, kindly do a CT scan of an average boy's thought process. I bet you'll find nothing but an unappeasable longing for the latest smartphone, latest Vans, Converse, or Nike shoes with matching cross-coloured T-shirts, plus skinny, slim-fit or straight-leg jeans, and perhaps a structured schedule of all the parties going down from now till December.

And sadly, this unmasculine tendency is not common to boys alone, some grown men have joined in, and they wonder why women are today doing so well in corporate circles, why they're no longer bent to none but their own will, or why they're no longer affected by men. Don't tell me that grudging crap that: "they use what they have to get what they want", except if by "what they have", you're talking about competence. Some things cannot be given my friend; they gotta be earned.
