Interesting thought experiment- what do you all think would be the responses to a thread titled 'What can foreign women learn from American women?'
I can't think of anything else than 'be able to earn like their US counterparts'. Though perhaps some men like assertiveness in women? -Foreign woman |

Depends where the foreign woman is from. Japan: learn to stop hiding your mouth when you laugh France: learn that just because a man finds you desirable doesn’t mean he respects or even likes you Russia: learn that sometimes smiling gets you better treatment than looking stern |

“ Charles de Gaulle would have agreed. When he blocked Britain’s first attempt to join the trade bloc that would become the European Union, he said that “England is an island, sea-going, bound up, by its trade, its markets, its food supplies, with the most varied and often the most distant countries.”
From geography flow thousands of years of history, a messy mix of conflicts and ties with the continent. Tombs identifies two threads in the complicated, contradictory tapestry of Anglo–Continental relations. First, ever since the sixteenth century, British islanders have not “pursue[d] or accepted a permanent organic Continental link.” Second, Britain has never been “tempted or forced to ally itself with the hegemonic Continental power of the day.” It has always wanted a balance of power in Europe and never sought supremacy itself. Even within the EU, Britain has generally looked to maximize its independence from the bloc’s decisions rather than to dominate decision-making. Tombs emphasizes another important factor too quickly dismissed elsewhere: just how different Britain’s experience of the twentieth century was compared with its neighbors’. Britain remained unconquered throughout the century and emerged victorious from World War II. That moment of triumph against fascism remains the foundation myth of modern Britain and a source of enormous and understandable national pride. As Jean Monnet, one of the founding fathers of the EU, understood, Brits feel no need to “exorcise history”—unlike those in Germany, Spain, France, Greece, Portugal, Italy, or Eastern Europe. “ — “the sovereign isle” , Robert tombs, Cambridge |

Whatever, this is all just intellectual masturbation. For all intents and purposes, the UK is European. There’s just as much difference between a Bulgarian and a Swede as a Brit and a Swede, if not more. |

But men are simple creatures! They just want a thin, white, rich foreign woman who is featured on Instagram fashion pages! That's all! Why can't all women just see that if you're just thin, white, rich, and foreign, then men on DCUM will want you, too!! |

I was referring to the historic American politician. The current Tombs is a typical British conservative white historian who denies Britain engaged in colonial violence throughout its history. He even refutes Canada’s legacy with Indian residential schools. https://blogs.sussex.ac.uk/snapshotsofempire/2022/02/01/the-british-empire-and-race/ |
