[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with stereotypical American women is that they don't think they have anything to learn. From anyone. Ever.[/quote]
Ironically 
If you are familiar with history 
Foreign women were not ashamed to march in NY and declare that in their home country women had the right to vote [/quote]

You talking about a century ago when American women were more tolerable? I thought we were talking about present day women.

[b]American women have way too much masculine energy[/b]. Very unappealing. And they're not even aware of it.[/quote]

The wording might be offensive but this is probably the stereotypical impression that foreign men have of American women. 
Not everyone obviously, but on average they seem to have more masculine energy (loud, talkative, opinionated, assertive, demanding, intimidating, big) compared to foreign women.[/quote]

But this is a good thing for women and American society. Women should not want to mold themselves into the male ideal if they end up quiet, docile, neutral beings with only their caretaking and sexual appeal to offer. How does that help women advance and secure their own place in society?  That only helps men. [/quote]

But why should women pretend to be/act like men in order to be respected and taken seriously.  Women in America think we’ve won, but instead we still have to subjugate those feminine parts of ourselves.  That’s not winning.  The expectation here is that both men and women kowtow to patriarchal ideals like toughness, decisiveness, boldness etc - but we still hold traditionally feminine values and behaviors in low regard.  Surely you see how sexist and misogynistic THAT is.[/quote]

Femininity can't be decisive or bold? It has to be cloying, indirect, and simpering? Maybe you need to rethink what you believe "feminine" means.

There aren't other females of other species that act this way in the animal kingdom. That's pretty warped.[/quote]

Why do you portray feminine traits in such contemptuous terms?[/quote]
