Hi Chi. My~ Huye^`n va` anh Ho^`ng La^m,

   That's why I said you guys "Ngu.y bie^.n"( My. Phu. nu+~). To prove that 
the Vnmese tradition was to respect women is a sadist joke.
  
   Vnames proverbs said "Nha^'t vO+. nhi` tro+`i", "Le^.nh o^ng kho^ng 
ba(`n co^`ng ba`"... but that is not a practice. So I agree with Chi. My~ 
Huye^`n. 
 
   Sometimes we can see strong woman characters, but they were only distorted
figures under the pressure of 4000 years. Their extra-dominations reflect
the fact that our male ancestors teated women not very well. Some Vnmese 
gentlemen used to take those examples as arguments: see, if women have
power they will ruin the whole world.

  In the modern time, women are partially responsible for their inferiority.
The blame : My husband is not a real gentleman...reflect this inferiority 
complex, that has rooted in the Vnme women min. The power struggle is to 
fight for, not to ask for.

   A lot of men follow the strategy: Now you speak, I listen. Later I speak
you listen. If I was a woman, I would not believe in an exagerated praise
like " Nha^'t VO+. nhi` tro+`i".

  A comment: "TRo'i ga` kho^ng cha(.t" does not mean a woman. It's me, if 
Chi. My~ Huye^`n want to know:-)))

Cheers
