Confucianism is not based on equality. Confucian rules sort people into a strong column and a weak column. The weaker person is subject to the stronger one; the strong one is obligated to protect the weaker one. Women are supposed to be dominated by their fathers, boyfriends, and husbands. This is obviously very different from western ideals. (Understand, I'm not advocating this, just telling you how things are. Don't shoot the messenger.

EF English First tends to operate in regions considered to be 'emerging economies' which perhaps have 'more traditional' roles for men and women especially in rural areas. When living abroad one will come into contact with people whose only experience of western life and opinions of western women come from the media, television shows such as Baywatch and Melrose Place are shown weekly. Naturally, these influence the way many people, particularly strangers, interact with us. See similar questions...

Yes, the FLR system is for both men and women looking to lose fat. I do make a few changes based on sex in the exercise section, in fact we actually have a section just for woman who are new to resistance training, it contains full photographs and explanations and target’s women’s problem areas. That said, in general despite some very misleading information out there, men and women’s bodies react to pretty much the exact same dietary advice as each other. See similar questions...

There aren't many women in these fields at the moment, but the number is steadily increasing. Those who are find it rewarding and enjoyable. As before, there are organisations that will put you in touch with other women in these fields. Sometimes it can be lonely if you are the only woman, but networks are available to find suitable employers that are welcoming and supportive, and who already have women working for them, for example Women and Manual Trades.

Yes! No problem ... but don't fall in love :) And don't go down dark streets at night, the same streets you wouldn't go in in your own hometown, and just be carefull while hitch hiking. Hitch hiking should be considered as a last resort. See similar questions...

Hot and spicy, with lots of red pepper and garlic. OK, not all of it, but the flavors tend to be really strong and bold. If you can't handle heat, you're going to need some guidance from your Korean friends or a savvy westerner at first. They'll help you learn which dishes you can take, and negotiate special treatment from the waiter. Of course, if you like it hot, Korea is the place to be! Korean meals always include rice. Usually there's also a main dish and several side dishes. See similar questions...

My wife, Bonnie. She's been incredibly patient with the strange hours I keep and very tolerant of the fact that I'm a terminal slob. She has also been my best critic. She keeps me properly rooted to the ground and reminds me that a little success in writing is not good cause for a swollen head. Sure. I don't let it bother me. I'm not fond of war movies, nor am I heavily into soap operas. See similar questions...

Simon says: Since males vary more than females, and some males possess female characteristics, the situation arises in which some males express female characteristics very strongly. This is the explanation why the best chefs are male, even though – because of their higher sensitivity to taste, smell etc. – females are generally better at cooking. See similar questions...

The "true woman" did not have a life outside of the home and church. Work was "man's sphere" and housework was "woman's sphere." She was expected to stay home to provide a comfortable home for her husband and to raise her children. She was expected to be modest, quiet, and virtuous. A "true woman" was not interested in education, sex, politics, or public speaking. Some middle class women had an Irish servant to assist with the cooking and laundry. See similar questions...

It is the job of the plateletpheresis nurse to keep you comfortable while you recline enjoying TV or a video. You will be kept warm and cozy under some soft blankets. Some donors feel a slight tingling sensation around their lips and nose when they donate. This is a mild reaction to the blood anticoagulant used in the procedure and can be minimalized if you tell the nurse. See similar questions...

No, that is far from the truth. Erections are very uncommon because any man that is at the park is there only for the enjoyment of the sun and fellowship. If by chance a man gets an unexpected erection he will cover up with a towel, roll over onto his stomach, or otherwise hide it until it subsides. Any man flaunting an erection will be asked to leave the grounds and not return. Everyone is different in some ways, but in most ways we are all the same. See similar questions...
