Mates, spend three minutes (not long, right?) to read this article, please: 7x Generation's sex story (in Vietnamese). It's just awesome.
The author, that lady's words are just simple but powerful. Her point of view is objective, little ironic, rational and just experienced. I myself be sympathetic much to Vietnamese ladies those living under not only much work-related pressure, affection matters, relationship problems, but also the hysterically unequal prejudice of this backward society towards them. Patriarchal men, who think themselves as tyrants, spontaneously pointed out harsh regulations for the whole society as criteria of morality, to which one who didn't follow that damn ridiculous rules would be treated and considered as rebel and poor-educated style. Vietnamese women, as no doubt to be the protagonist, have always been imprisoned onto those absurd rules for centuries yet they have never enjoyed a real freedom. They are in detention all the time!
So, what is criteria of morality? How can we define it? Well, I think you know better than me, in case you are Vietnamese. Feudalism, with its tremendous disadvantages, have been criticized quite much through newspapers or Internet. Just read and you understand.
It has been 21th century already, thus methinks, it still would be too late if the women are still under unfairness. That author of the article impersonates herself, and her generation as well, as witnesses of "lost generation". I assume you all already know what the meaning of this term is, ain't you? In case you don't, research yourself here: Lost Generation (wikipedia). In general, I support her pessimistic idea much though the original meaning of the term didn't refer something related to this issue, yet it is accurately used to illustrate what she is really implying about.
To be agitated by the article, as a skepticist to our society, I myself find no time more suitable than present to declare my own point of view towards the hottest topic that people are all paying attention to: Women's sex rights. Limited to this extent, the essay will not be responsible for any other unexpectedly marginal issues analyzed through its content.
I. Consequence of long-last prejudices
In my opinion, Vietnam still has been being backward now and then for many reasons. One of those is just unreasonable prejudices we made ourselves, to deceive ourselves as well. The prevailing lifestyle of almost Vietnamese, from past to present, is reluctant living!
Why? Because our previous generations had been extravagantly influenced the feudal spirit by the older ones. As a consecutively consequence, our current generation, yet the next generations as well, are directly or indirectly inheriting the previous generations' infantility. Obviously the backward of Vietnamese is alternatively hereditable from the ancestor to the posterity. Undoubtfully, we have been superfluously preserving a constant way of thinking for ages while it was out-dated already for long! That's why I said most of us are living reluctantly while we are too weary of the feudalism but none of us aim to change our lifestyle, because of the lack of determination. And we are fear of the changes as well. Of course there still have some isolated people who are bravely breaking "moral barriers" to live their own way (I just wanna describe of positive manners, negative sides will be analyzed another time), but let's see how people evaluate them? Just as class of eccentric only. How do you think?
Yes, people of living-your-own-way style that differ from others, or even retrograde (opposite direction) the rest often be target of conservative criticism. I'm not gonna point out any example because examples can be seen ubiquitous, and it's waste of time. My argument is, how should we deal with those out-dated criteria of morality? With the time passes by, and perception of human has reached to such a high level, is it time to eradicate all things unnecessary? Your turn to answer.
Have you ever wondered of why Vietnam, after many years of development, still be a weak and humble country? Well, just because we haven't never been succeed in escaping from an old way brainstorming. We keep the prejudice! We can't do the new things with the old ways, that's paradoxical. We can't be better without modernizing our perception. Yet only after we are open-minded, could we be possible to develop. One of the top-priority prejudices should be emergently faded away is to emancipate the women from ridiculous ethics. Let the Women free!
Why should so? Because it just should be.
II. Moral or Immoral
A good example for above argument is the point I'm gonna talk: the women's rights. Here, is their sex right. Being explicit, I don't think there is any criteria of morality powerful and decent enough that can prevent women from having sex if they really wish. The berriers should come from inside themselves, not outside influence. We are all bystanders, how could we intervene into their personal things? That's nosy, men. Less seriously, women have the right themselves to live as true as they hope. They are just human, they have up and down periods in life so that they really need to be equally respected. They have human sentiment that usually leads them be involved into mistakes if they couldn't self control that well. But, who do we think we are to be able to blame them for what they've done? We are nothing. And we don't have that illusive right to judge, men. Wake up from the day-dream and be practical.
Now, there occurs two more important points to be debated: intimacy before marriage and sex limitation.

I'm sorry but I have spent time writing these things while I'm always under time limitation as well. So, I will continue this article very soon on the weekend. Is it a good stop? I think so. You have read all the things, now it's your turn to re-think what your opinion is. Haply we will have a nice conservation afterward.
Now, I'm kind of busy. I'm gotta go. Thanks for reading.
