[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to a new very sexist country where I'm operating in a new language, where my word carries little gravitas compared to my husband's, and where women of a certain class aren't expected to work outside the home. We were just talking to a third country dude at a party, who explained what a certain very basic term means (I worked in that industry) and told my husband we shouldn't "bore the ladies with the business talk" (I have an MBA). My husband just smiled. I'm pissed. Vent over.[/quote] Probably a matter of manners. At least you have good reason to look down on the citizens there and no one will even notice your attitude toward them. Personally, I'd take it as a constant reminder to be grateful I was born in a place where a woman holding an MBA is NBD. [/quote]
