Are Singaporean men becoming too feminine?

THE behaviour of Singaporean men has been discussed a lot recently on citizen journalism website STOMP, as STOMPers debate whether or not it is alright for men to wear floral shirts, carry a woman's handbag for her, or reserve a parking spot for a lady driver.
STOMPer Delilah was tickled after spotting a man in a pink floral tee-shirt, but other netizens like STOMPer debonair did not find anything wrong with that: 'I don't find anything funny about someone expressing their individuality without conforming to societal norms.'
However, most STOMPers agreed that it was unnecessary for a man to carry a woman's handbag or reserve a parking lot for her.
Also discussed on STOMP was the question of social graciousness in Singapore when it was posted that no one came to the aid of an elderly couple who tripped while going up the escalators at Hougang Green Mall.
STOMPer Easygoingjoe wondered aloud: 'Something bad happens to someone and no one steps in to help - is this showing the true face of Singaporeans?'

Are you sure they're are Singaporeans, Singaporeans are a minority here.

what is needed here is to change the perception of women in new times...they would expect the whole lot to be tolerant of their manic anxieties and refusal to contribute towards a more balanced gender policy backed by an UNaware system....
should we be giving way to women asking for our sympathy towards what is acknowledged as the weak gender?
if they cannot change their perception, we wouldn't as well.....back to you SYSTEM...
-
If can become true female... then...
-
HAHAH......back to the SYSTEM as well....
u will pay for this....dun lose your empire becos of women

I think in a way, Singaporean young men are really few, mostly uncles , I see more often.
I suppose the Shivali Nayak must be from another country also. Foreigners not understanding foreigners, really not suprising, lots of special things now under PAP special wonder Regime.
Sloppy work, lack of knowledge about locals all the seeds of the failure of Sinkapore in due course. Congrautulation to PAP for their efforts.
Locals can take a back seat now, why work so hard? Even you work hard, foreigners will take credit for it anyway. Who says so? PAP says so, they practically begged them to write articles like that.
Just do something and pass up lah! Everywhere, smoke, only. PAP try to smoke people, then PAP's employees smoke PAP, wonderful!
They deserve each other, immensely.
Just grab the popcorns and watch the sunset of Sinkapore.

There's a 302 in my camp. Also sissy one.

I would do possibly anything, for the person i am truly in love with.
Maybe even lose a finger, carrying bags etc are just a small loving gesture in my opinion.

Don't lose your finger please. If she loves you I'm sure she'll want you to keep all your fingers intact. Fingers are very useful...

No la, its just a phrase to let someone know the underlying meaning is understood. -
Guys who are willing to help girlfriends/wifey carry handbags, groceries loads will be twice loved in return for their sweetness.

title should be changed to
"Singaporean men are becoming more new age when they help women to carry handbags."
some Japanese guys are also doing that now wat, korean men too. These are the modern species.
