The Rise of the Harassees!

Imagine our astounded astoundment when we checked the news today! Our dedicated fervid local newspaper was carrying an insightful report on sexual harassment! And not only that, it said that a bill on illegalising sexual harassment is going to be taken up in the Parliament floor!

Two hours later, after we woke up from a euphoria induced comatose stupor and collected our wits, we thought hats off to you Haveeru and all its good people. Especially the writer of the report Mr. Hassan. We would kiss you all over if that was not sexual harassment!

Well the point of this article is yet again to recognize the good that is going on in society – like we said at the beginning we are trying to beat Team Negativity. We dont mean over the head with plastic chairs as was demonstrated by our cool MPs and political activists during the entertaining albeit somewhat disillusioning showdown on the artificial beach but over the head with our words and our superior wit and sheer positive thinking (yes we did take a turn for the better since our last glum episode and now feeling collectively peachy-keen-and-dandy).

We wholeheartedly support the bill illegalising sexual harassment. We also appeal to the MPs to ensure that you do consult with people who know more on the issue before the big debate. Yes, yes, we do certainly know that you are all experts in everything too but in addition, perhaps just run the bill by another expert?

One thing that we would also like to say is that while this is very important mainly to women, sexual harassment law should protect all people from unwanted sexual advances. After all, since the removal of the gender bar, we could have a woman president any day now!

Anywhoo, today's a day for celebration so we're all off for smoothies!

Toodles!
