I'm going to assume you haven't read the posts made by the londongirl person from a recent discussion thread regarding working conditions at a franchised English First branch located in China. But what you said about Western women is pretty off target to say the least. 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.

If I had to choose a group of people whom to have sympathy for, it would have to always be a few of the non-White teachers who work in Asia. But honestly western women are not "ignored" by the expat population. That's all.
