Gendercide Blues

By

Dunay igat nga feminist song nga murag ang feminist mismo di tingali malipay kay imbis mo supak kinis cultural stereotype diin ang babaye magpaibog para gukuron ug angkunon sa lalake miuyon ug mi-selibrar hinuon kini sa maong mga buhat.

Apan by extension makaingon kita nga feminist kini kay usa man kini ka kanta nga misaulog sa kalipay sa usa nga nahimugso isip babaye. Kining maong kanta gikan sa musical nga “Flower Drum Song.” sa sine gi-perform kini ni Nancy Kwan.

Ania ang maong kanta:

I Enjoy Being A Girl LyricsI’m a girl, and by me that’s only great!/I am proud that my silhouette is curvy/That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait/With my hips kind of swivelly and swervy.

I adore being dressed in something frilly/When my date comes to get me at my place/Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy/Like a filly who is ready for the race!

When I have a brand new hairdo/With my eyelashes all in curl/I float as the clouds on air do,/I enjoy being a girl!When men say I’m cute and funny/And my teeth aren’t teeth, but pearl/I just lap it up like honey/I enjoy being a girl!

I flip when a fellow sends me flowers/I drool over dresses made of lace/I talk on the telephone for hours/With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!I’m strictly a female female/And my future I hope will be/In the home of a brave and free male/Who’ll enjoy being a guy having a girl… like… me.

When men say I’m sweet as candy/As around in a dance we whirl/It goes to my head like brandy/I enjoy being a girl!

When someone with eyes that smoulder/Says he loves ev’ry silken curl/That falls on my iv’ry shoulder,/I enjoy being a girl!

When I hear the compliment’ry whistle/That greets my bikini by the sea/I turn and I glower and I bristle/But I happy to know the whistle’s meant for me!

I’m strictly a female female/And my future I hope will be/In the home of a brave and free male/Who’ll enjoy being a guy having a girl… like… me.

Maayong palandungan kining maong kanta ubos sa debate sa kongreso sa US tali sa balaud nga giduso karon sa mga Republican nga Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA).

Nadasig ang mga Republcan pag mugna aning PRENDA human ang butang aktibista sa China midayag sa tibuok kalibutan sa forced abortion sa iyang nasud kon babaye ang gisabak.

“For most of us, Mr. Speaker, ‘It’s a girl’ is cause for enormous joy, happiness and celebration,” nagkanayon si Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., sa iyang diskurso sa ilang kongreso, “But in many countries including our own, it could be a death sentence. Today the three-most dangerous words in China and India are, ‘It’s a girl.’ We can’t let that happen here.”

Daghang mga nasud diin kusog ang pro-choice/pro-abortion rights laws and protections nga mi-ban gihapon sa sex-selection abortions sama sa  Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, ug Netherlands.

Pero alang sa mga Democrat igo na ang mga balaud sa America batok sa abortion ug nga kaning PRENDA wa na kinahanglana. Nahadluk ang mga Democrat nga lain na usab kining lakang sa mga Republican sa pagpanghilabot sa kinabuhi sa mga babaye sa ilang gitawag og “war against women.”

Dili kuno tinuod nga nakuyawan sila sa PRENDA kay wa silay ikalukat.
