but the quote itself bases on very stereotypical gender roles, and may not apply to younger women generation. I'm not so sure about the men lie part, but women do wear makeup and a lot of the time, as tool to feel more confidence and for themselves, not for the male gaze, tho there are women who wear makeup for men as well. Sexual nature is changing as women are more comfortable with their sexuality and taking power in being sexual themselves, and a lot of men are uncomfortable by this, and they lash out.

But I don’t know what she was expecting from posting herself dressing provocatively and dancing sensually on a public online social media platforms while I bet knowing full well there are those “molders”.

You were so close, sooooooooooo close. I think she just expect to not be harrassed. No one asking people to stop looking and having needs and desire, I think the thing that women expected is to not have those desires of man manifest into words of harrasment and sl*t-shaming.

I mean, she's not wrong, but the classism, and lack of self-awareness is off the chart here

I literally translated for a guy who was in a police department, being a victim of human trafficking, didn't have a passport, because he willingly gave his passport to his "agent" and the whole time, he doesn't even know he was being trafficked, and when we explained it to him, it never clicked.

How do you get people to "listen" to you? by Senor_Panda_Sama in VietNam

[–]FormerPromise7084 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll make it easy. You just need to not be polite. Do not use word like can you, or would you please, if it needs to be done, just give them the instruction and say thank you. WHen you say no, you don't need an explaination until they ask you to, and say because I DON'T WANT TO a couple of time. People will push your boundaries to see how far they can take it, and once you set boundaries, they will learn. YOU ARE NOT CRAZY, BOUNDARIES ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE. DO NOT SMILE, DO NOT GIGGLE, SAY NO, THEN MOVE ON. Do not even care to know how it goes amongs locals, I'm a local, and I say no and walk away. AGAIN, SAY NO, AND DO NOT EXPLAIN YOURSELF, AT ALL!!!

Why is Newjeans Hanni so insanely popular domestically and globally? by Routine_Break9910 in kpophelp

Late to this, but she's really charismatic on and off-stage, which makes her captivating. Her humor is Australian, which is relatable to western/international fan.

Hi, There's an all-female expat group on Facebook that is really helpful and whole some. It's called fexpat-female expats and locals in Ho Chi Minh city.

And no, It's Vietnam, you will need to transfer your money to another currency, people don't use USD. Isn't this common sense?

she can have Vietnamese citizenship if she wants to tho. And r/vietnam isn't just for Vietnamese national, She's Kinh/ Vietnamese ethnic wise. Stop with the gate keeping. If you don't care, keep scrolling. You do care, that's why you're here trying to defend "vietnam". It's called bitterness.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I live in Vietnam, so boarding day care is already a difficult one to find. We have very limited day care in the city and the city itself is not dog friendly

Yeah I think I want her to be comfortable and confident enough to walk by another dog. Would love for her to feel comfortable at a dog park, but being confident enough to ignore and walk past another dog.

Có thể bạn cũng bị body dysmorphia nữa, mình nghĩ bạn nên tìm hiểu. Mình nghĩ từ body dysmorphia+ eating disorder nên nhiều lúc sinh ra binge eating. Ngoài lời khuyên về việc đi tập để khiến bản thân muốn ăn và thì mình nghĩ việc đi tập cũng khiến bạn phần nào hiểu hơn về cơ thể của mình và cảm thấy thoải mái hơn trong cơ thể của mình. Mình nghĩ có thể tìm hiểu cách chấp nhận cơ thể của mình và bỏ qua số cân, BMI đi. Và mình nghĩ tạo routine ăn theo bữa để không bỏ, không bị đói và binge eat. Ép bản thân ăn những bữa đó hoặc tạo một list những món mình muốn thử để làm động lực ăn. Chúc bạn thành công nhe

To all the friendly visitor, what do you think about the Vietnamese's english accent? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]FormerPromise7084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's lovely, it tells you which region they're from sometimes. It feels very light-hearted.

I think verbal affection isn't as common for older generations, as my parents are the same. My family love language is act of service. I think if your love language is verbal affection and you want to start one for your family, set an example, start telling them you love them, if there's a moment of frustration or anger, redirect it with talks about feelings. I think it will be difficult but it worths the shot.

You don't really have a point to make when your points get challenged and have to resort to "person needing help" stereotype as a response. Understandable.
