Female Expats

Is life harder for female 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.
>One night, arguing with a friend's male colleague, a highly regarded lawyer, she says she found herself labelled a "brava", meaning that she was "out of control" for arguing with a man so forcefully.

>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.

>A 36-year-old Canadian, Allison 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 (who asked that we only used her first name) moved from Toronto in Canada to the Saudi capital Riyadh for several months in 2015 to open a research unit at a medical school.
>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.

Most latin countries don't put up with that faggotry

we should definitely keep exporting these spinsters

Where's the "sexism" in the second one? Bitch is just complaining she can't get a date.

based swiss

>move to Saudi Arabia
>surprised that Saudis are sexist
lmao

>she says she found herself labelled a "brava", meaning that she was "out of control" for arguing with a man so forcefully

So masculine and arrogant women are a normal thing in Western world?

Please, don't send more plague, actual feminism is already annoying.

There's this fucking expat in my town, who is an 24 year old American cunt, she won't EVER shut the fuck up. She shows up to town meetings and other events and takes up so much fucking time talking about stupid SJW shit like anyone gives a fuck about what she has to say in her broken French and Basque.

Every time she walks into a room everyone literally groans.

Sadly yes, I'm trying to leave to find a wife.

While most of the examples are memes it is actually much more difficult to be a female expat than it is to be a male. Your work opportunities are limited and there are many countries essentially off-limits for women that aren't for men, not to mention men are much more likely to not enjoy themselves due to cultural circumstances.

>Your work opportunities are limited
You mean women don't want to do the sort of work male expats end up doing.

>She shows up to town meetings and other events

Why is she even there? Is she a student or does she have a job there?

give me a greentext story famalam

too late
sorry

Expat women not only think they are better than other women, but also other men. There's a reason they don't fit anywhere.

Man, I'm all for feminism and shit, no matter how hard you virgins meme against it, but fucking this. These women should be smart enough to know how ethnocentric (and just plain retarded) it is to expect everyone in every country all over the globe to share their same values.

you're a faggot

No, if it's not a western firm doing the hiring than in many countries they wouldn't even bother with a woman.

This is the real issue. A lot of women who go abroad think they'll be treated much better than they are in their home country when that isn't the case at all, hence why you see all these little things blown out of proportion.

To be fair, I think she knew but since it sounds like a tremendous opportunity she thought she'd be able to get past it but is now realizing she can't.

>go to a foreign country
>"Why do you do things differently here? You have to conform to MY values!"

They must've packed their critical thinking in their lost luggage.

For which part? Saying I support feminism? If that was it then opinion discarded.

She graduated from University in Paris, and was offered a position as a school counselor by the principal who is her friends dad.

>Every year we hold an axe chopping and traditional dancing competition
>As the dance competition is going on I'm sitting in the audience up front
>Behind me I hear her loud American accent honking from behind me as she asks why they didn't have same sex partners competing
>She walks up to the organizer afterwards and ask the same thing

Next day

>It's axe competition
>She keeps asking why there are so few women competing in the competition, keeps saying that if we would be more accepting of girls competing there would be more

>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.

Find this hard to believe desu

>However, what she says made her "want to scream" was that she would see men openly reading pornographic comic books on underground trains.
Its their culture! Don't oppress them! They don't know any better!

>school counselor

There's your problem. I've never met a guidance counselor that wasn't a stupid bitch.

jap men hate the fuck out of white women probably more than any other group

Isn't guidance counselors the job for people who are such failures they cannot successful even hold the job of just teacher?

I have heard the same from others. The reason is that male westerners just don't bother anymore with entitled western women while Japanese men regard your average Western broad as manly, irritating and fat. So you better conform to the local standards of beauty abd feminity or you die alone.

>another article of a white western woman going to a shithole and expecting everything to be better than home

So marge simpsons but with sjw bullshit

>including their relationship status, and any plans to start a family

This should be a normal question for every female that's going to work for you. You don't want to hire them, trial period expires and then they go "Ooops, I'm actually 5 months preggers, so nice of you to pay my maternity leave". Happened where I worked TWICE in a row. Even the females there agreed it should be a normal question.

>tfw you realize the christmas cake meme is real
>but it only applies to white chicks in Japan

explain why please.

Entitled, manly and loudmouthed fatasses. The complete opposite of what Japanese culture considers to be the perfect wife.

No, it's the failed clinical psychologist job.

The reason there's such a disparity is that men are willing to go for the locals, women only want other expats.

2nd story short:
>no one wants to fuck her
>muh sexism!

3rd story short:
>HR/Company owner doesn't want to risk giving important projects to a person that might be about to go on a 3-year vacation
>muh oppression!

4th story short:

>...

Meanwhile, every single time I hear about male expats, they're having the time of their lives.

More like they didn't explicitly fawn over her and she's old/ugly.

Old in this context meaning >25

Men in the west only put up with western women because they don't have a choice

>marriage at an all time low
>divorce at an all time high
>"why aren't men committing? must be video games and porn"
>find out everyone in foreign countries finds them completely unbearable
>IT MUST BE EVERYONE ELSES' FAULT

yes our women are fucking horrid
This is why i must find a Latin american wife preferably from your cunt and preferably brown

same shit if you are not white though
I'm so fucking sorry mate
literally Japanese/Korean men like black women more than whites
they only like whites in theory or Russians becuase they tend to be submissive
This is so true of female expats in Brasil even though they have no problem finding a boyfriend they end up hating them due to expectations of the western women and they complain constantly and compare that to Male expats who love the Br women, men, and trannies that they date and parade them around like they won something.

Western feminism is so retarded, at this point all they're doing is picking some personal anecdotes and acting like people are behaving shitty towards them because they're a woman

You are a an idiot
Say egalitarianism if you supoort the true values of feminism
Neo feminism is just being triggered

>ethnocentric
I'm fairly liberal friend, but western values are best. The rest of the world is going to have to adopt them sooner or later.

>at this point

yeah seriously. get over yourself lady.

Western women will be the death of western men.

Whites are just too autistic for this world regardless of sex

The average Japanese man probably is intimated by them, while all the Westerners in Japan are either Japanophiles or have Yellow fever to some degree. I'm sure some relationships do exist with girls going over in their mid 20s, but it's not probably not that common.

>However, what she says made her "want to scream" was that she would see men openly reading pornographic comic books on underground trains.
oy vey

>literally Japanese/Korean men like black women more than whites

what the fuck.
pls stop spread bullshit rumor?

>>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.
>after I lost my cushy job at a venture capital firm, I had no choice except to move overseas to a highly competitive job market for a position my friend secured for me
>woe is me

>>One night, arguing with a friend's male colleague, a highly regarded lawyer, she says she found herself labelled a "brava", meaning that she was "out of control" for arguing with a man so forcefully.

I'd need to check her behaviour and the local she was to be surer, but I don't think this is sexism. Depending where, "bravo" [angry] is just an euphemism for "chiliquento" [prone to tantrums], something seen equally bad and childish among men and women.

Reminder that "feminism" is nowadays only about women finding more ways to victimize themselves for attention instead of getting said attention by being actually interesting human beings with real social value. Women who refuse to label themselves as feminist are almost always actually interesting people, funny how it goes.

Nope. Being a women is life on easy mode, literally all you have to do is not be fat.

Feminism nowadays is about whining "waaah I don't like this!", but still ignoring completely anyone outside your small group of female friends - including other women.

>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.

You reap what you sow whore.

It's pretty shitty to be honest from many of my co workers. Especially from the older guys in the field.

women are supposed to be home caretaker and do gardening around neighbourhoods. they will never compatible with the real working place, only few will be able to be useful.

I'm so triggered right now.

But isn't same goes for western country?

What do if single 40 y/o unattractive Japanese women go to USA.

am I on reddit?

Women want a love.
Men want just sex.

>Dumb women who move to third world countries have to endure sexism and it's very very surprising
I hope this article is just ironic.

Also if they are gonna talk about sexism then bring up real sexism instead of ''I got into a confrontation :(((('' and ''Men don't want to fuck me :((((('' fuck out of here, beta female genocide when?

>Women want money
>Men want just sex

>Women want a love.
It depends on the time of the month. Women want sex when they're ovulating.

Based South America and Asia. Seriously considering moving to Argentina to get away from the roasties and roastie culture permeating Canadian society, all a man needs in life is a qt that hasnt taken miles of dick in the ass to start a family with.

>Woman in Saudia Arabia

>Oh, and you have to wear a long, black dress and headscarf, which allows to to pretend to be a local whenever you want, no-one will give you a second look.

I love sexism.

Why do you support feminism tho you flaming faggot. You dont actually believe women should be roastie careerists instead of mothers do you queer?

fucking hate these cunts ruining perception of actual woman

>first example
man said "your being irrational" to a goat chin envy drunk he she and she screamed even louder

>jew example
>oh I wonder why no one wants my goat chinned ass and other goat chinned envy drunk woman with same problem
your single in your 40s because of you also I wish I got the hair coverage you got you grow a mean goatee
It's almost like the japanese have a functioning male/woman society so every man that comes there is falling overthemsleves for 7/10 woman by treating them as 10/10 woman because of these cunts. It's great becasue everyone is happy the woman are woman and the men finally realized they aren't going crazy.

and the just the little cherry on top about the salaryman enjoy his fucking doujin on a train
sums this woman up perfectly
>everything has to bend for me because I was born
>the mountain is wherever I'm standing WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>Change your entire culture for me! I never tried to even think about other cultures jsut myself and how much better I am then everyone
>fucking sexist men
>thats why im single in my 40s

know she isn't ashkenazi at least an ashkenazi woman would be intelligent

I actually feel a twinge here for "Allison" if she legitmatly is competent at her job but I can't verify
and then she throws that good faith out the fucking window in the very next line
>do you want a family one day
holy shit what a dirt bag!

This was retarded on many levels
>going to saudi arabia as a woman
>going to sausi arabia to teach
>going to saudia arabia to try and start and lead a high level profession's research unit
and apparently the saudi's didn't even really treat her like shit since all she has to complain about is she couldn't drive

>>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.

Just be yourself.

you can also call a man bravo and it just means someone is being angry or intense not out of control, i don't think someone would even use it seriously more as a way to try a diffuse a situation with humor so i think this is sometype of misunderstanding on her part
brazillian don't generally like when anyone is too intense in conversation

Don't quote me on this Pekka but some rumors say dating in weebland is also different in the sense that women take the initiative more often, out of expectation or just because it ended up like that somehow, more than say, Moominland. This creates an additional barrier along with other cultural differences and whatnot that might make it harder.

lol, I once saw a journalist trying to interview an American expat. And the woman began shouting that if they didn't get out of the way she would sue them.

But that isn't even possible here. In the Netherlands you just get your damage compensated. And there was no damage.

Damn how will Chang ever recover.

>host two German girls
>first thing they tell me is how relieved they feel that men aren't constantly staring at them or asking if they have boyfriends like when they were in Sri Lanka

Feels good.

Expats generally tend to be cunts regardless of gender. Americans and Canadians tend to be the worst in my opinion. People from Asia dislike it here and keep to themselves anyway so at least the don't annoy the rest of us.

We should have a special country in Africa where all migrants and expats can live.

Yes. it's sad.

Did we ever reach an agreement on who gets to be called an expat, and who is just a filthy immigrant?

Are you an ladyboy?

>expat
probably the most cancerous concept in the western world today. If you're upper middle class enough and you choose to migrate somewhere for economic reasons, you're not an immigrant! You're an expat! No need for such trivial things as integration or showing any sort of respect for local customs, better fire up your blog and tell everybody how superior and progressive you are to the locals.

this so much, it's an anglo disease

this pretty much.

Expats are great

there are tonnes of them in london and they're all on tinder because they don't know many people here.
I do to them a fuck a lot

taxi drivers in KSA often just drive single women who can't speak arabic into the desert and rape and kill them

Lol. Go home, reddit spacing.

>>Implying I can't speak Arabic
then you're fine
>>Implying there aren't police checkpoints on every road
by the time you notice something is wrong one could be past them
>>Implying I'm more likely to be raped in the magic kingdom than in britbongistan
as a taxi passenger, yes you are.

litteraly none of that from Japan had anything to do with sexism. they don't want to date western women because they don't want them to divorce them and take half there money for the rest of their lives

The West will break its back over the wheel to avoid admitting or accepting this.
There are a handful of women at most doing productive work and no women at all who are integral to civilisation
