Was it fair or unfair?

Gender equality. This has been an issue ever since not only here in my country but also in others. In such some " Feminist" fight for the rights of us women. It was a long journey and somehow I could say that things were far different from before. WOMEN now in my country already have VOICED and even excel in professions intended only for MEN before. It is no longer the traditional set up that women stay at home only, well I know some couples that it was the opposite now.

However there are still some aspects that I can say was unfair for women? In what aspect is that? Let me tell you.

I was about to go home earlier after I punched off in our DTR when my officemate approached . He said he wanted to go home with me. We are staying in one compound only. Most of the time I take a walk from our office going home and it was almost an hour of walking. Just to burn some calories. While we were walking we started to have conversations too.

We were waiting for the green light in order to cross the pedestrian a motorcycle passed by. It was a normal sight, what is not is, the driver " winked " at me. Not just a winked but a flirtatious winked. He still has a decency to flirt considering his girlfriend or probably wife was on his back. Hugging him... AHHHH, men! Maybe he thought I was that pretty since I am wearing a mask plus I was in a mood earlier so I am wearing a dress. Looks so feminine, LOL!

I was complaining to my officemate, let us call her Mark. He just laughed when he said it was normal for a guy. All of a sudden he asked me if it's okay with me if we will have something to eat first because he was hungry. I agreed as I am starving too.
We settled to grab some burgers at Burger king, yet sad to say there are no FRIES! I don't know but it seems there is a shortage in our area.

Oh, Mark is actually married, see that ring?

While eating I was still complaining to him. Then he told me.

Mark: Lhes, it is really normal for men. Even if they are already in a relationship. If there is a chance still they would grab the opportunity.
Me: Huh, really? What about you? Your wife and kids are in the province right? So by chance will you cheat?
Mark: Of course not. I don't have an extra budget for that, lol.

I was somehow happy with his answer but he added.

Mark: Yet, if it is just a casual thing. Yes, of course. Like for example, one night stand. If my previous fubu and suddenly see each other. As long as there was no string attached. Just casual lay.

Me: Oh, that's cheating!
Mark: No it's not. Cheating is when I am having a relationship with someone. But I am not..
Me: Still insisting it is CHEATING. Yet he is firm that it is not. Well for him.

So I asked him. " What if you find out that your wife had a one night stand too? Was it okay with you?"

Mark: Oh she will not do that. I know her. Yet if ever she will, I will take our kid and LEAVE her.
Me: Oh, you are so unfair! So if it's you it's okay to have s3x with others yet your wife can't?
Mark: Oh, she didn't know. She will never know.
Me: Still you know it within yourselves that you DID!

Mark: It is okay for us men, since we could not be pregnant, etc......

See how unfair it was? Just like what I commented in @Olasquare article a few days ago, " What About The Boys?". It is okay for men to have many experiences in bed and even still having s3x while in a relationship. Try doing like this when you are a woman and you will have an image like a "wh0re".

I am only referring to some countries with this perspective, like mine.. I know there are some liberated countries and I don't have an issue with it. Each of us have different upbringings as well as point of views.

Even the LAW here in our country is unfair.

Example:

I am married and my husband find out I had committed sexual intercourse with other man aside from him. He has proof. He can sue me in court with a crime of ADULTERY. If proven, I will be imprisoned for a minimum of two years up to six together with my paramour.

SOURCE.

What if I caught my husband? Can I sue him? Well I can sue him in a crime of concubinage only if;

I had proof that he was living on a same roof together with his mistress and kept her in conjugal dwelling. Or if I had an proof he had a sexual intercourse under scandalous circumstances.
SOURCE

If proven, he can be imprisoned for 6 months to one day to 4years and two months. The mistress will receive a restraining order .

SOURCE.

See the difference?

I am not that familiar with the Law, in any case that understanding about Adultery and Concubinage was not correct. I will be happy to read your corrections in the comment section.

Thus, any comments, opinions as well as point of views are welcome.
