I just posting a comment in an article "Venus & Mars: Benefits in Traveling Solo" with the editors name's are Katrin Figge & Taza Nugraza Barley | June 02, 2011. I don't know when my comment will be posting or rejected since they have to review about any incoming comments first.
It's a quite an interesting article because it discuss about Traveling. Why i did posting the comment? because of what i don't understand the point from one of the editors (Tasa Nugraza Barley - features reporter at the Jakarta Globe) is talking about.
The article titling is "....Benefits in Traveling Solo". Well, it means to talk about the 'benefits' from two point of views - benefits for both sides, right? (Men & Momen) because article says "Venus & Mars: Benefits in Traveling Solo". But in this article i couldn't find the benefits in women on Tasa Nugraza Barley's. I think it's better if it's only written by Katrin Figge - deputy features editor at the Jakarta Globe.
And here my comments included the articles :
I have few notes for Tasa Nugraza Barley. I'm not sure you were writing about "Benefits in Traveling Solo". The tittle supposed to be "When Traveling with Spoil Women"... Are you talking about traveling indoor or outdoor, plastic surgery women or original one, rich spoil b*tches or adventures, or any specific kind of nationality here? You supposed to shared by writing about "benefits", in fact seems you were kind of judging women of universe here.
A woman would bring three kinds of bags on a weekend trip if you let her. (I must say i only need 1 bag to put my underwear, shorts, tank tops & aqua).
Most of the time, women don’t even want to leave the hotel room until the afternoon, because they are afraid their skin will turn dark in the sun — which I think is such a silly attitude. (You should be more specific about what types of women?)
Then when you propose the idea of renting a motorcycle to get the most out of the rest of the day, they will probably say it is too dangerous and uncomfortable. (Can u explain about the women who riding motor bike or women taking ojek to their office daily in Jakarta?).
I don’t deny that there are women out there who have the guts to be backpackers, but frankly, I don’t see such women very often. When it comes to traveling, most women are boring as anything. (Most of women are boring if they aren't backpackers?. i bet you're talking based on experienced as one of the 'boring' woman, eh).
And, of course, it is men who have to pay all the consequences, including paying the overweight baggage fees at the airport. There is nothing more boring than going on vacation with a woman. (Really?? What about the independents? Women are not children, dear :D).

I don't mind to be called over reacting or else here. Of course everybody free to speaks, especially rights as the press. I'm just feel pity of this condition. What's the point to be sentiment with your own gender? I thought when you're standing as a press you supposed to be neutral.
If we as women don't stand as women our selves, who would then?
*For any spoil woman out there, u should be thank for me ;). LOL If we as women don't stand as women our selves, who would then?
