The delusion of us in Malaysia now, being Malaysian citizens ischoosing which side of the coin to believe in. Well, that's one way of looking at the issue. Why not try this. I say both of them are not from different sides of the coin. They pretend to be but they are, actually, at the same side. Hmm, confusing? I found this confusing too when I first thought of it. But, not anymore.
Think of this. The coin has two sides. One side is us, Malaysians. Innocent. In need of protection and issues to gossip or slander or hate. While, the next side of the coin is them. Yes, they here refers to both of the sides that we are now draining our brain to choose which side to be on. The truth is, if you want to see this as the truth, both of them are just pretending to be on opposite sides. So that we will move, from being at only one side of the coin, to the other side of the coins. Then we move to both sides, now we are separated. Fueled with hot stories, breath-taking lies, made-up slanders, not so suprisingly, we are now not on the same side anymore. We are separated. And guess what boys and girls.
Our very own KBSM history book that we hated so much during High School taught us, the British came to rule us by dividing us and then, conquering us. hmm,(now we seem to be thinking or maybe not)
and, oh ya! I remember. We are now DIVIDED into 2 sides of the coin getting ready to be CONQUERED.
Phew, What a lesson we will or can never learn!

Gender Identity is mostly determined by your society
Gender identity stresses on the characteristics of each gender. As I understand, we should only have two main gender which is male and female. Let's count out any Khunsa because it is not so significant and I don't want to discuss about any. There is this one thing that I observe. It is the theory of the society in terms of gendered identities. In other words, how do the society views each gender differently.
The first thing is regarding the reinforcement. Take example of your parents. It wil be more obvious if you have a combination of males and females siblings. Your parents would practice different reinforcement in terms of rewarding and punishing their children.
As for example, a girl might not receive physical punishment as how a boy would be punished. And the reward system differs too. A boy may be given a ball as a reward while a girl may get a barbie doll.
The second thing is in terms of the division of labour. The responsibilities of each child is different. A boy's responsibility is different from a girl. Let me make it clear for you by providing an example, if there are guests who come to your house, a girl is more expected to prepare and serve drinks. They will not expect a boy to prepare and serve the refreshments though in some cases boys will do it too. (As in my case, because I don't have any girl siblings)
On the other hand, clothing for boys and girls are different too. This is a clear illustration of how the style of dressing differs for both genders. Boys will never wear dress in public(Normal boys I mean). Girls are considered as impolite if they wear shorts and a singlet.
In most family, the bedrooms are gendered too. See for yourself, girls usually use flowers as the main theme of their bedroom. Curtains are pink. Bedsheets too. Why? Because these themes are closely related to girls. Meanwhile, boys don't use flowers nor colourful toys illustrations as their main theme. Some of them don't even have a theme. They just wear what is there for them to wear.
The next different that is quite obvious is the way how your parents treat you. Parents are more likely to get involve in rough games with their boys while girls don't. While a boy will play passing football with his father, a girl will not get involve in such game in most cases. Why? Again because of how the society perceive you. A society doesn't normally see a girl who likes to play football as normal.
The last thing that I want to discuss touches on the types of present that a boy and a girl receive. What will you want as a birthday present if you are a boy? A cute and cuddly teddy bear? What if you are a girl. Would you want a jet plane model as your birthday present? In most instances you don't. Why? Again it is caused by how you believe what is appropriate for you.
That's all. I learn about this from my lecturer and from what I observe, I agree to these points. You are what you are today because of the kind of bringing up that you get. This includes, the view of the society and how it treats you according to your gender.
*Cheers. =)

Dauh bin Kuat Injured Bila Main Rugbi
Believe in what you want to believe.
Have you ever heard of this statement? It's a statement that I'm for and not against to. I consider as right. Whatever the things are, you will see it as what you believe it is. One example is as such:
There is someone whose name is 'Dauh bin Kuat Injured Bila Main Rugbi'. Let's just call him Dauh(Not the real name yeah!) Dauh was given some cash by his parents and he decided to buy a pair of shoes. New shoes. Very pricey. More than a hundred. Then on the evening, he went to play rugby with some of his friends. He won. then he said,"Mestilah menang, kasut baru."
Hence, he believed that his new shoes caused him to win because it gave him the confidence to go the extra mile that he went to win. However, look at it in a different way. Let us say that he losed the match and he said,"I'm still not comfortable with the new shoes. That's why I can't perform." So, now what do you think.
The example might not be so significant. Yet, I suppose that you'll get what I mean?
