So you're basically saying that SE Asian women don't usually do well and you're surprised that one could. Stereotyping and objectifying.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Thank you for saying this. If I say it, it holds very little weight because I’d just be labeled a man-hating feminazi (as I have been many times on CEO by various posters).John Bingham wrote:So you're basically saying that SE Asian women don't usually do well and you're surprised that one could.

So thank you.

Can't Cambodian women be considered successful as wives and mothers in their village , or do they have to be westernised to be considered successful, I don't think so
The lady your referring to is a successful as a westerner not a a Cambodian

How about one person says one nice or constructive thing instead of all competing for the prize of most imaginative way of saying the new guy is a c*** ?
I was trying to do some good by convincing the lady that she could inspire Cambodian women into having a successful happy life, and I was genuinely saddened by the fact that she wanted nothing to do with her heritage before she/her family was Austrlian. I respect that that's her choice but personally I thought it was a shame and a lost opportunity.
im not saying that there aren't happy and successful Cambodian women, there clearly are, but if you think this woman who was clearly very very happy in life and very successful does not have things better than many women in Cambodia do then you need to get some new glasses/hearing aids.

I know Cambodian women from all walks of life. You don't, you only know sex workers, ones who have struggled to get away from you. The last thing any successful woman needs is a patronizing foreigner telling them what they should or shouldn't do. Especially one who is far from being any sort of role model themselves.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Dude what are you, the Pontiff of the Supreme Church of Annoyances? WTF gives you the right to go to a perfect stranger and tell them what you think is best for them to do with her "heritage"? And then bitch here because folks dont think its cool, then turn shit into a trolling session?Confused wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 9:08 am How about one person says one nice or constructive thing instead of all competing for the prize of most imaginative way of saying the new guy is a c*** ?

Her heritage is what she decides it to be, and as far as the good old USA is concerned, you gets your papers, you are an American. Bet its the same in OZ. Are you one of those dudes who teaches Ethnostudies 101 at some two bit schools, and not only reads the Guardian, but beleives it?

For all you know she was born in Australia and has never been to Asia, you can’t assume things about people.
