Surtout en ce qui concerne les toilettes publiques, je pense qu'il faut
etre tres soigneux si l'on veut garder propre les mains. Par exemple, que
l'on se lave les mains ou non, il y a toujours quelqu'un d'autre qui ne le 
fait pas. Puis, il sort de la toilette en tenant la manche de la porte.

Ah! Que fait-on maintenant? Il existe deux solutions.

1. Garder ouverte la porte et se laver ensuite les mains.
2. Se servir d'une serviette pour tenir la manche.

Vraiment, c'est un cauchemar d'etre bien propre!

You know how it works, I was able to get my hands on this poll but
not on the whole of the Europeean Commission's study.
However I agree that sexist attitudes are not exclusively men's fault,
I believe they are mainly the result of what your parents taught you.
eg. "You'll be a good housekeeper, my daughter, cause that's what your
mother is" or "that job isn't for women" etc..., durably influence
the way of thinking of the adult-to-be.
    Concerning the comparison with the US, I only partly agree.
I don't know enough about Europa as a whole, but I'm pretty sure
that women are better off in France than in the US. In year 1980 the
democratic ticket against Reagan/Bush was W.Mondale/Geraldine Ferraro,
and after their defeat it has extensively been explained that a woman
vice-president first drew votes to the Democrats, and then people
realised that if Mondale died, the president would be a woman, so
they withdrew their votes and Reagan won.
That is why, albeit there is a equal rights/opportunities facade esp.
in federal agencies, no such thing is deeply rooted in the american
people subconciousness.
Other example: in the late 60's, the protests in favor of colored
people really ended up bringing the conservatives back to power, for the
mass of the american people cared more about order in the streets
that minorities rights.
That and many others things -whose report would make this post even
lengthier- make me believe that american women have all of the duty
but very few of the rights of men, and the effort they must do in the
US is greater than in France, toutes choses egales par ailleurs.

ouf!

[interesting poll data deleted] It would be interesting to see the
break up of the data by female vs.  male respondents :-); my guess is
that this break up might yield some surprising results re. female's
views. Sexist attitudes are not men's monopoly.

Sometime ago I read some data about proportion of non-working women
(typically, traditional "housekeeping mothers") in several European
countries, and the results were again very surprising (often in the
high 70%, if I recall correctly), even for countries that you wouldn't
expect (such as Norway where women have had a major role in the
country's government). Though the asymmetry in this regard between
male and female was also very pronounced in the USA, the data were
much better than for any European country. For all the usual European
snobbery about the US, I think this is one aspect where the US is much
farther ahead (as shown also by attitudes towards sexual harassment,
etc), notwithstanding the undesirable streaks of puritanism that often
make their appearance in public life.

Comments/flames anyone? :-)

--------------
	(UPI) -- British author David Irving, who
claims the Holocaust was exaggerated and Auschwitz gas chambers a hoax,
was freed on $20,0000 cash bail paid by a fan Wednesday as he continues
to fight deportation from Canada.
[...]
	Irving, author of ``Hitler's War'' and other books on World War II,
last week allegedly violated a Canadian ban on his entry. Arrested at a
dinner in his honor on Canada's west coast, he was ordered to leave
Canada by Nov. 1.
[...]
	Irving was re-arrested and taken into custody here late Sunday night,
after U.S. officials refused his entry at the Rainbow Bridge, which
connects Niagara Falls, Ont. and Niagara Falls, N.Y.
[...]
	Irving is barred from entering Canada because of criminal convictions
received in Germany related to his writings, in which he claims the
Holocaust was exaggerated and the Auschwitz gas chambers, where Nazi
Germany exterminated thousands of Jews, is a tourist attraction built
after World War II.

Sur la question de se laver les mains avant ou apres, je pense qu'il est
preferable de se laver avant. Il est fort probable que les mains sont 
beaucoup plus sales que les ...... surtout apres avoir touche les diffentes 
portes et targettes necessaires au bon fonctionnement des toilettes 
(ceci ne s'appliquant qu'a des toilettes publiques).

Pour ceux qui ont vecu dans les pays musulmans, et sachant qu'il n'y a pas 
de papier a votre disposition, quand doit on se laver les mains ....??

Reponse : on ne lave que la gauche. La droite elle, est utilisee 
pour manger le mechoui ou le tagine, uniquement.
