I have personally met, conversed with, and gotten to know personally western women traveling and working in all 3 countries I have worked at as an ESL English Teacher, and I can pretty much say many of these girls think the world revolves around them. They will eat up all of your time and use you as company they can just "dump" on with their extravagent and "wonderous" ideas of what they think the world is like. Most will never have the courage to speak out against the injustices that goes on in whatever society they are currently living and working in, and for that matter why would they? The world's system is rigged in their favor for the most part, for they are always given more leniency and cared for than most of their peers.

Wow! I have had the exact opposite experience, and also in three countries. I've met some great Western women in all three countries. They could also be outspoken politically and would easily stand up for their beliefs. What's going on? Why is there so much resentment towards Western women? It makes me wonder if some posters got along with women in their own countries before they moved over seas. I've always got along well with the fairer sex, but some males do not.

The idea that "the system is rigged in [women's] favor" is, pardon my saying it, just adding insult to injury. Be logical about it. People generally put themselves first, and they rig the system to benefit themselves, not people who are conspicuously different. I think you will agree that men have maintained the reigns of power in most places and at most times. They have used that power to benefit themselves at the expense of women (see "China"), which is logical and probably inevitable until we evolve more as a species (socially and in terms of consciousness, I don't mean we need to grow antennae). Women historically have gotten less pay, been subjected to domestic violence (and still are quite a lot in a country I can think of that we all know very well), and have been considered absolutely, innately inferior. There have been laws about what size stick one could beat one's wife with, and in some places a woman can be stoned to death for going out unchaperoned by a man, or improperly dressed. Surely this is not the upper hand. But there are men that resent women and will squarely blame the victim, especially if women don't like them (which, considering some of the people in question, would be a self-fulfilling prophecy for the men). some men may make an exception for underprivileged females in developing countries that can be rented out for the price of a fast food meal in one's home country, but that doesn't count because it's not an equal playing field. That's just the same as liking the staff in a hotel who are paid to be nice to you. If you don't like the women in your own country, you don't like women.

Curiously, some men will want to find a Chinese girlfriend or wife in China, when, just outside their apartment there are thousands of single Chinese women living right there in the West. But those are not desirable, because they can not be had. They are bitches! An exact replica in China, who is much less privileged, is suddenly lovely.

Anyway, I don't know what planet you live on. But, I like women, including Western women. They're great. Lovely people. Generally a bit nicer than men, and, not surprisingly, less dicks. When people start talking about how much they hate women, it's a bad, bad sign (and making an exception for underprivileged females in the developing world just makes it worse, because it's so transparently self-deluding).

I presume overt racism (other than saying one can have any Chinese girl they want) is not tolerated on this board, but why is overt sexism, chauvinism, and open misogyny tolerated?

Must be that there are a lot of like-minded women-haters on the board, and anyone who stands up for women, and women themselves, are alienated and bullied. That would be my guess. Hopefully I'm wrong!
