MetalStorm,I wouldn't entertain any thoughts of taking a teaching position at your former institute in Hunan for one reason alone - because said institute's Foreign Affairs Officer is a woman.I just couldn't bear to be bossed around by a Chinese woman who has been placed in a position of authority over me as a louwai FT.
Whenever her husband treats her badly, she'll probably let out her frustation on me,irrespective of whether or not she is the dominant partner in her quarrels with him, which, ,in any case I would expect her to be.
Rule number one for male louwai teaching in China:avoid educational establishments that have appointed women as deans or FAO's if at all possible.We foreign males need dominating by Chinese women,like we need a hangover after a night on the town!
