  • Don’t expect dating to be traditional. You’re in a egalitarian country now so you have to step up your game if you want to date.

    • is not traditional to think you are a princess and have privilege. Females always worked hard all day in all human history, ask your grand mother if she thought she is a princess and deserve privileges

    • @Frivals, stop projecting. There is nothing in her response that claims an expectation of a princess treatment. Traditional gender roles for women aren’t princess ones.

    • @@calis2497 You obviously don't know many Eastern Slavic women. I do know many of them. They generally do think that the men should do all the work and spoil their girls like princesses with gifts and constant proof of admiration. In return their men get a beautiful girl (according to their logic). Is the woman in the video like that as well? None of us can tell from that short clip but she kind of indicated it by somewhat disapprovingly "not understanding" the woman carrying bags.

    • @@calis2497 she just complained and is angry that other females don't have the princess syndrome like her so they handled suitcases at the airport, do you even have a brain?

    • @@MrAwsome1991 of course you can tell from this short video! "Mama mia, I don't understand why is she working at handling suitecases" πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

  • Wow, I would love to live in a country striving for real gender equality 😍😍
    Only thing is that I really like brightly colored clothes, so I am going to keep wearing them no matter where I am

    • Oh, the little princess just discovered that females too must work "hard" and handling the suitecases at airports 😱😱😱 hope you are not traumatized too much

  • As the son of a mother ( whose father was mostly busy / away making money using Jack and Bean stalk type schemes), i am not shocked. Mum used to do everything, including painting the home and fixing electrical issues.

    • The issue is that many women were left alone to do everything but were never taught the skills so they wouldn't get paid or had to hire men.

      Also who paints a house everyday or has electrical issues to always fix? Apart from changing light bulbs i never had any electrical problem to fix in 30 years.

    • ​@@redleeks6253 When did the guy write his mom painted everyday, these were examples, among many things. Also what he wrote is exactly what you claim she didn't have. She fixed things herself, she didn't have to rely on someone, or leave it broken because she didn't have money to fix it. Fixing things at home is usually considered a mans job, and something they get creditet for doing. They don't get blamed for not being an entrepreneur who hasn't started up a whole carpenter company yet. Usually if you can easily fix it yourself, why would you need or even want to pay someone for it?

      I find it impressive you haven't lifted a finger in 30 years. The house must be brown and moldy in there by now.
      I live in an expensive new apartment (from 2019) where one of the spotlights in my bathroom has stopped working, and I just asked the company who built the building to come and look at it (I have a 5 year warranty).

      Also my dog managed to drag down the jacket knob thing in my hall when she was looking for candy in one of the pockets. It left two noticable holes in the wall. So I will probably have to fill it and paint the room (very hard to get the same colour if I only paint the holes).

      Also I lost my old Mac computer twice on the floor. It left two huge marks on my eak floor. So I googled on YT ways to fix it, ordered the things i needed from the internet and fixed it. Tada.

      And lord, two of my pleated blinders got ripped and fell down almost at the same time (so unlucky right). So I had to buy new ones and the guy who put them up for me was super busy, and I hate waiting. So I bought a drill and just did it myself.

      I also have built my share of Ikea furniture etc... Given CPR to plenty of computers, phones and TV's and made dem work again.

      I'm not dead, I don't need to have someone change my diapers yet just because I can afford to.

    • I mean yeah but what's the point in being condescending towards someone who never had the luxury to deviate from gender roles?

    • ​@@S3aCa1mRa1n they have to go to sesion ( pre-draft) now - on the old system they could get called in for service if they were over 25 and still did not have kids. My mother got called inn, but she had just become pregnant. ( males have to go to the military, women dont need to couse we make babies )

    • ​@karolinemathildehellan7869 so biology disagrees with top down societal programming? Next you're going to tell me that men make better heavy lifters and women make better nurses

    • Then what does it mean? People who say "seperate but equal" have yet to give a proper explanation for what that means.

    • ​It means being equal in value and having the same legal rights and learning valuable things no matter your gender @@ashvinveeraraghavan8450

    • ​@ashvinveeraraghavan8450 well I see fairness and equality as totally different. It's equal to give a poor man and a millionaire Β£100 but it's not fair. It would be more fair to give all the money to the poor but it would then not be equal

  • This is very interesting!! It's nice that there are different cultures and it's normal to be surprised about some things. I like that she's respectful and not judgemental or negative in any way about their customs. Guests to the country are not supposed to understand locals 100% on a personal level but it's important that they respect and learn new stuff. ❀

    • @@NoctLightCloud umm I wouldn't know that automatically. And even if yes, noone can get a "permanent residence" right away. It takes a lot of work, time, integration courses, etc. During which a person gets more and more familiar with the local norms and eventually gets more knowledgeable about them than a "guest".

    • She sounds more like a traditional woman. Feminists will say she's oppressed even though she's happy.
