Westerners in their cultural chauvinism assume that when women from an oriental society are not encouraged to fill exactly the same social roles as men, there must be systematic abuse of women. And then of course there is the general principle if you don't understand it dump on it. -- Yehoyaqim Shemtob Martillo (An Equal Opportunity Offender)
