[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m no American patriot but it’s surprising to me to hear people say that Eastern European women and women in other patriarchal cultures are a good standard to hold yourself to. Yay for you if you like looking hot (I definitely do sometimes) but the reason that Russian women are expected to look beautiful is because of sexist attitudes. [b]I think I read that in Russia[/b], [b]most young women believe that attractiveness is the best quality for a woman to have and older women believe that being a good homemaker is the best quality for a woman to have. D[/b]omestic violence that doesn’t cause major injury is legal in Russia. [b]Abortion is heavily restricted, they just barely lifted restrictions on women having certain jobs,[/b] and Putin makes rape jokes. And then people are saying “hey you frumpy American women, these Russian woman can look hot, so should you.” What???

I’m happy to live in a place where women are, generally speaking, considered their own humans and not just an adornment for men. (And I applaud Russian feminists who are working hard to change things)

You think you read that? What a load of crap! If anything, this country should worry about abortions and job equality way more that Russia does.

It was in the Moscow times.

You are misinformed. While there are gender gaps in many areas of life, abortion and workforce participation are not among the top isssues. Abortion has been legal and unrestricted in Russia since 1920. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Russia Russian women are more conservative (believe it or not, I know it goes against the stereotype) in their attitudes towards women having casual sex.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_Russia

I am not surprised about all the stereotypes given the way Russians are portrayed in the media, but you have to take with a grain of salt. [/quote]
