Universal Suffrage

The other day the headline of the South China Daily read,

"Civic groups move for universal suffrage."

I was deeply concerned about the headline. In three milliseconds, this was my thought process:

P*ta! Women can't vote in HK?! Kalokohan! That is insane! That's terrible! And they claim to be first world? How can people live with that! Why aren't people in the streets, raising their voices for equal rights for women! 'Tangina naman! This is ridiculous.

Then I paused.

...

...

Shit.

It's not that women can't vote, you stupid idiot.

No one can.
