Aware to give out tongue-in-cheek award for sexism

Tongue-in-cheek prize a fun way to raise awareness, says women's advocacy group

 

By Jamie Ee Wen Wei

 

It's not an award to crow about.

 

But Hougang grassroots adviser Desmond Choo looks set to clinch what is believed to be the country's first sexism award, in 'honour' of a person or organisation that has done the greatest disservice to gender equality.

 

The award is the tongue-in-cheek brainchild of the Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware), which will dish it out on Oct 17 during its fundraising dinner at the Grand Hyatt Hotel to celebrate its 26th anniversary.

 

The women's advocacy group will give three other awards to recognise those who have promoted gender equality causes. The sexism award, called the Alamak Award, has five nominees. Nominations were made by the public on Aware's website over a six-week period that started last month.

What a joke! Singapore politicians are dumbfarks when it comes to making politically correct statements.

 

I am sure the male voters in Hougang agrees with him... that is more or less 50% of the vote

He sure invite bashing from the women with such statements. The typical answer from a Singaporean woman will be that as they are also responsible for bringing home the bacon nowadays like men do, they should not be expected to cook too. [laugh]
