fellas, sometimes we gotta tell them ladies

recently, i have been very captivated with issues such as race and gender equality. i think it's because i have been reading books and watching dramas about them. it's not that i intend to indulge more about these issues. it just so happens that i came across them and i find them rather fascinating.

for example, the book titled Family Tree. it's about a blonde couple who just got their first child. however, the baby has dark curls and tanned skin. they then start to track down their family. here then we can see how people are partial in their views about racism. like how we don't mind living next door to a black guy, but we may mind when our daughter marries a black guy.

currently, i'm watching the drama Vice Versa. it's about 3 different couples handling their own problems in their marriages. i know i know nothing about marriages, but this drama is unique in a way. that's coz each episode will be divided into 2. first half of the episode will be from the women's points of view and the other half will be from the men's. it's interesting to see the same scene being shot twice, but we see different perspectives from the different genders altogether.

whoah, suddenly this whole thing sounds so heavy for me. whatever happened to my typical Hannah Montana and Wizards of the Waverly Place?!
