well, yesterday i had this conversation with the superior. we were chatting about the absence of another lesser superior due to her pregnancy. then promptly this superior of mine launched this sexist remark which sounds:

“this is the disadvantage of hiring a woman. they need too many days off. look at this so and so, she just asked for a month leave because she is getting married. what’s next? i believe she will ask for another leave due to pregnancy just like miss so and so. then i believe that there will be more then one pregnancy leave she will be asking after this. ah, susah….susaah (too bad….too bad)”

and my answer for this sexist reasoning is this:

“aih sir! you sound so bloodily funny. don’t you remember that day in and day out you are naging and naging us the un-married young chaps and chicks around to get married soon. kapan kawin? kapan kawin, that’s your constant questioning. nah, now she has decided to abide your demand and gotten married, but why you complain when she asks for a leave?”

my superior was at loss of words. and i knew i’d won the battle.
