oh my

i haven't been on here since i made the blog.that's pretty pathetic. anywho... i need to go on a rant. ever since sunday i have been anticipating this tv special
called "inside china" (i think) lol.. something along those lines. anywho, it mainly was about the treatment and role of women in china. it is very disheartening. my mom reads a lot of novels about young girls growing up in china and she and i enjoy discussing it. in bigger cities the women are more free, but in the smaller areas,
the women are still treated as a possession of the husband. all the women want independence, but the men are too satisfied with being able to have them fulfill their whims. the women are expected to raise the children, do the housework, do the farming, and cook the meals, all while the husband just goes to work during the day. and if the woman does have a paying job, all her earnings are her husband's possession, not hers. she has to ask permission to have money. it makes me appreciate the life i have in the united states (even tho i'm moving to austria once i'm old enough ^^) lol. well there was my rant. i'm done. =]
