What is love without dioxins?

My mates always asked me: "Why are you in this business Onn?" "Why isn't there any other business you can do?" And, as an afterthought, they never hesitate to comment: "I don't think I can do this (women) business".

First, let me just say the following: "I am in this business not because of the money but because of the opportunity to do something for women because as far as I can remember, women have done a lot of things for me, and to me, good and bad but I remember my mother, and I can never repay my mother for bringing me into this world, and rearing me to become what I am, a proper man, with a proper heart".

"Women", as they always say in Melbourne, "is more unpredictable than the Melbourne weather". Is that a demeaning question? I think it is.

I do not want to sound feminist but I owe a lot to women because I believe they are the only things beautiful in the world. I mean, you can look at a sun set, but you can't say the experience is beautiful as the experience of women.

Let me be candid. Without women, there can't be love and without love there can't be babies. I mean, how did you think you were procreated?

Without further adieu, I shall say the following: Women deserve the best things in life. But it can't be a pad laced with poison. That would be awfully wrong.

So my mate asks again? Why am I passionate about women's (private) matters. I will answer this as follows:

Since when have we not loved our mother? Since when have we been ungrateful to the only thing which makes us men. Without woman, there won't be a baby. Weren't we a baby before? And now, since we became adults, we allow women (whom we love) to buy pads which contain posion and which harm them?

I don't think this is love. Love has something to do with care and if we cared enough, why can't we care enough for the women we love? Like buying them proper, sanitized and dioxin-free pads. Like, making sure that they do not poison themselves. Like not being indifferent to the current hot topic on women's health: are they absorbing dioxins into their blood when they wear pads made from recycled paper? And, don't we know that not a single major manufacturer has volunteered to specify the materials in the making of the pad. Not that the Fed authorities have not asked them but it is not against the law not to state what is obviously a case of dioxin contaminated pads.

It is an ethical issue: more or less. But it costs lives.
 
I mean I ask this simple question: Would you purposely buy your own wife a dioxin-contaminated pad when you know the facts? It is not like this issue is a new issue. It has been an ongoing issue since the Feds discovered dioxin. Why would any man want any woman to wear poisonous pads?
Is ignorance a solid defence for continuing the practice of buying dioxin pads?

Isn't it a plausible explanation that manufacturers of popular pads produced pads with less of a sanitary concern than being sanitized because they consider pads merely a disposable item and therefore, it doesn't merit it being taken seriously? Like using recycled paper in their manufacture and yet we know recycled materials, including paper, have all been contaminated with dioxins?

Let us look at it from another perspective: How do you explain that there are male doctors who specialise in gynaecology? Would you mind your wife or partner being examined by a male gynaecologist? Would the same male gynaecologist be able to examine your daughter? Why are some of the best chefs in the world men? Why is sex education given to children whether they are male or females? Does an Avon catalogue have to be sold by a woman only? Why can't a woman play soccer? Why can't gynaecologists examine only their own genders?

I believe the only thing we can say about men indulging in a woman's private business is that this business concerns love and health. Men should take an interest in women's affairs to the extent that both men and women have a shared responsibility to acquire knowledge so as not to endanger the women's health, and vice versa, the woman takes an interest in men's health issue too.

After all, when one of us is diseased, both of us would feel the pain.

Winalite's motto is: Everything we do, we do for love. Is it wrong to want to help women get a safe pad? I believe more than love, it is responsibility. It is also, in the eyes of most public, a duty of care to look out for each other in the public interest. Any ayes?
