The logic of “Family Values” and “Nature”
On Sunday, Adri’s posts directed me to an article in the Sunday Times about the alleged connection between gay parties in Sentosa and a supposed spike in Aids cases in Singapore.
To be honest, the issue of homosexuals and what they get up to in the bedroom is an irrelevant and marginal issue to me. I was outraged and offended by something else I noticed in that article.
But family life educator Koh Su Yin said: ‘By having the parties, we are sending the message to young people that such a lifestyle is okay. It also desensitises and normalises a behaviour which would be construed intuitively as unnatural.
‘We would not want young people to be attracted to the gay lifestyle as it undermines the basic family value of committed love, the importance of marriage and the stability of a family that constitutes mother- and father-love.’
Agreeing, Ms Linda Kwek, 32, an advertising executive and mother of two toddlers, said: ‘Homosexuals, like anyone else, have a right to whatever lifestyle they fancy. But if this right becomes a potential threat to family values, then I would rather live in a country that is labelled strait-laced than one plagued by Aids and heartbreaks.
‘We don’t need such parties on our doorstep. Call me selfish, but they can happen elsewhere.’
The first issue that came to my mind was, what were these two women doing speaking to a reporter? Did their male guardians not see fit to discipline them to keep their silence?
It is common knowledge that women are inferior to men. Scientific studies from unnamed biologists have amply demonstrated that women do not possess faculties of reasoning and intelligence that are solely the domain of men. It is unseemly and unnatural that women should so openly put forth their opinions on matters which are far beyond their ability to comprehend.
We want to remind Ms Koh Su Yin that right-thinking men in society would not want to send the wrong message to young women that such a lifestyle is appropriate. Women should be seen, and not heard: how can a ‘family-life educator’ not know such simple house-rules? How can we condone such breaches of public decency that would desensitise and normalise behaviour that all people of upright morality would instinctively construe as unnatural? It is plainly apparent that Ms Koh has overstepped the bounds of public propriety.
We would not want young women to be attracted to a lifestyle of independence, as it undermines the basic family value of respect for men as the head of the household, subservience to her male betters, be they father, brother or husband, and the importance of self-sacrifice to preserve the stability of familial and marital relations.
Even more appalling is the fact that Ms Linda Kwek is working! At the grand old age of 32, she wilfully chose to abandon her matrimonial duties in the household, left her 2 toddlers to the neglect of a motherless childhood, and dared the audacity of flouting the rules of convention by publicly speaking about social policy!
There is no truer truism than the maxim, ‘A woman’s place is in the kitchen’. Single women, like anyone else, have a right to whatever lifestyle they fancy. But if this right becomes a potential threat to family values, then it behoves the moral majority, the right-thinking men of our society, to educate and discipline the wayward women of this nation. One would rather live in a country that is labelled oppressive than one plagued by motherless children and broken families.
Remember, according to English common law, women had no independent legal existence. To those who still hold true to the moral values of our illustrious culture, and to those who place their faith in the Judeo-Christian historical worldview, tradition dictates that a woman is chattel, belonging either to her father, or her father’s estate, or to her husband, upon marriage. One cannot fail to emphasize the importance of tradition, and to which great respect and reverence must be shown.
As with all property, a woman is to be dealt with as seen fit by her owner. This primarily means applying a ‘rule of thumb’, instilling obedience and respect using a rod no thicker than one’s thumb. One would strongly advocate that the male guardians of Ms Koh and Ms Kwek administer the much-needed discipline post-haste, with vigour and diligence.
We don’t need such female recalcitrance on our doorstep. At the risk of sounding selfish, one believes that such decadence should happen elsewhere.
