Specifically, the context, is I was in the process of ordering food from the airport concessions and suddenly she pops up brushing my elbow (got that damn spidey sense that if I were less conscious woulda turned into violence).
forget who was saying how men have evolved to be superior at threat assessment
nah whamen are taught they should care about the society, so they by necessity develop a way of getting what they want under the pretense of greater good
yeah, I have had that happen
Is MA misogyny posting again
I JUST FOUND THIS; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MauLkayWya0
why, hello Jack
And, pointing at her boarding pass leaned over the counter and showed it to the cashier (also a latina, who was a pretty nice gal, actually).
That is an illustration of not understanding the trade-offs made culturally between gender roles
I protested with a firm, but calm, "Pardon me, ma'am, but I was ordering." Firstly, who goes to a food place for directions like that?
Hispanic culture is very shaparoned while western culture is not
Oh, and she was also holding a Mexico passport.
when a girl goes on a date, it is tradition to send a younger sibling along to watch
Younger? Really, now.
that is the nature of hispanic cultures. women are given more privledges BUT they are also not allowed to do man's work
US' general tradition is the *older* goes along.
she might be granted that type of lattitude in the latin world but it doesn't just in western culture where the trade-offs are different
It's rude to cut in line.
yup; but only as equals
No, period.
she would EXPECT it
and thus consider men who DO NOT grant it rude
different expectations
Well, we're in America.
So tough.
Moral of the story: never date hispanic
yes, but she doesn't understand the 'root' of what she has internalized
no one does really
Erm.. I beg to disagree.
it is actually dangerous in many regards as many latina expect the males in their vicinity to intervene on their behave as is traditional in their culture
but in western culture, we tend to mind our own business
Cutting in line is still rude.
not disagreeing; only pointing out that those with a particular mindset will never see it that way
Never is too harsh a term.
Too pessimistic for my taste.
can't argue that directly, best to argue indirectly to get that point accross
for example, she wouldn't like to have to hold the door or take out her own garbage etc. until she realizes those things are the other side of the coin, she'll always blame it on the individual for being rude
pessimistic? nah, it's just a mutual exclusion that has alot to do with expectations we learn as kids
Nah, she was going through security a while after I was waiting for my food.
