The writer feels that older women are now the subject of discrimation. Take for example, The nightspots do not have a right to refuse women over 35 free drinks on ladies' night. THe government should instill laws that women of any age are allowed free drinks on ladies night. Also, they can implement fining the nightspots should they fail to comply this.
It is absolutely true that women have a double whammy. Firstly, the women are old, which means that their productivity rate is slower than that of a young worker, same as men. However, women also reach menopause at this age, and can no longer bear children, while the men can simply get medication to increase their.. potency?
Take for example, older women do not have privileges at nightspots on ladies' night, like what the author had mentioned. Also, they are also discriminated in the workforce, like being restricted to jobs like cleaners, when the younger women can have better jobs.
In my opinion, age discrimination is more prevalant in Singapore. Firstly, gender doesn't really matter in the workforce anymore: Even cleaner jobs are equally avaliable to both genders. However, in jobs like office admin, companies usually favour younger workers, despite the fact that the older workers have more experience than their younger counterparts. Looking at the situation of Gender and age discrimination in Singapore, i'm afraid that the only way to solve this is through laws disallowing this in Singapore. Singaporeans usually fear punishment, but will still give that 'heck-care' attitute when no punishment is enforced on them.
