[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are from a Middle Eastern culture and I think there is so much pressure on women in that culture to conform to the following standard: - educated with a high paying career - keep up their looks, don’t get fat, dress pretty and wear makeup and have long glossy black hair - maintain an attractive, clean home and know how to cook, or you will look bad - religious (but you still have to look sexy) and raising children to behave appropriately and follow cultural expectations [b]The men have the following expectations: - have a job[/b] I think American men may find this nightmare sort of awesome.[/quote] Uh, no. In patriarchal cultures, men have to be rich to have social value. (Actually, this is true in all cultures to varying degrees.)[/quote]
