Do female expats have a harder time living abroad than male expats?
>When Sheila Taylor moved from the UK to Brazil for work in 2014, she says that in terms of women's equality she often felt as if she had gone back in time to the 1950s.
>Ms Taylor, a writer and photographer who swapped London for Rio de Janeiro for two years, says she was forced to confront male chauvinism that the UK had given up decades ago.

>After the tech bubble burst in Israel in 2002, Lisa Goldman was broke and desperate for work when an acquaintance approached her about a job with the Japanese branch of a global finance business.
>In regard to building a personal life in the Japanese capital, she found that neither Japanese men or male Western expats were interested in dating Western women.
>Ms Goldman, now in her 40s, says: "The few single Western women I know in Tokyo seemed to have resigned themselves to being single forever.
>However, what she says made her "want to scream" was that she would see men openly reading pornographic comic books on underground trains.

>Allison, a 36-year-old Canadian, has lived in Switzerland for 11 years as a communications consultant.
>Allison says she has encountered several sexist situations, such as preparing reports that had to be presented by male colleagues "just so that the client would listen", and being mistaken for a personal assistant.
>She adds that she has found it to be normal in job interviews in Switzerland for women to be asked about personal details of their lives, including their relationship status, and any plans to start a family.
>Ashley moved from Toronto in Canada to the Saudi capital Riyadh for several months in 2015 to open a research unit at a medical school.
>She found that she and her male colleague, who had also been sent from Canada, were not permitted to work in the same office.
>But what she found hardest to cope with was the fact that as a woman she couldn't move around unencumbered, both in reference to access to transport and what she could wear.

>In the country of Georgia, in the Caucasus region on the edge of Europe and Asia, US expat Caroline Sutcliffe says she gets "a lot of unwanted attention, simply because I'm a foreigner and female".
>She adds: "There is a significant lack of respect from men towards my skills, my values, and my vision."
>However, Ms Sutcliffe is actually working hard to improve matters, as she runs a non-government organisation which promotes women's rights in Georgia and neighbouring Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Topkek, when I spent a year teaching in China, I noticed this as well. I had a thirsty English woman wanting my cock, but she was always whining about life in China and I didn't want to fuck a possibly herpes-infested slut. Maybe if she opened her legs for some Chinese men, she wouldn't have been such a cunt.
>In regard to building a personal life in the Japanese capital, she found that neither Japanese men or male Western expats were interested in dating Western women.
Really makes you think, doesn't it?
Liam James
So, does this mean if I go to Asia, I can fug desperate white women?

Poor things didn't realize that most of the planet does not share the same beliefs as their women's studies class.
David Thomas
You think if these ladies had only done what millions of years of evolution designed them to do, which was get in the goddamn kitchen and make babies and...possibly make me a sandwich.
Adam Wood
white women are a disease
Jayden Edwards
This only makes me want to leave my country for a third world shithole even more, just to see how it's like to live in a country where women aren't always put on a pedestal.

>The shy, unquestioning, long-haired, long-skirted traditional girls I taught eight years ago are now teachers. They have dared to cut their hair raise their skirts and even wear trousers, discussing sexuality, feminism, lesbianism. They dare to question and themselves allow dissent and debate in their ranks. As the old guard retires, exhausted and worn from a system that did them no favors, a new generation is emerging to challenge the status quo.

I highly doubt this

What did she mean by this?
Zachary Jackson
Hurrdurr let me move to another country and get offended that its not exactly like home xD
Jaxson Adams
>she found that neither Japanese men or male Western expats were interested in dating Western women
gee, I wonder whose fault that is
Nathan Collins
Perfect example of white male privilege. If a white man went to fucking Japan or Brazil, he'd be getting pussy every fucking day, and assuming he isn't a complete retard, he'd have so many opportunities for him.
But a highly skilled, highly professional woman can't even get a date and is undervalued by her employers. Really makes you think.
Carson Hughes
I know this is bait, but if that white man and woman both stayed in their home country, it's much more likely that the reverse would be true.
Jeremiah Diaz
White women can get fucking in Japan too.
But bf/husband is different thing.

>Woman goes to Saudi Arabia >Surprised she is treated like shit
Wow it's as if the religion of peace treats women like shit or something.
