Elena, thank you very much for your wonderful style, enchanting ideas and that fascinating image of a Russian woman you gave here which is absolutely true. Thank you very much. Of course not all Russian men are sexists alcoholics. There are some very good ones. The problem is Russian family model.
Sexism is a natural part of it.
If you are a single woman, you're worth nothing. Any man can offend you. So a woman is not considered as somebody respectable unless she is married, and even then, she will be considered in regard who is her husband. Even being married to a guy who has many lovers a woman gains higher respect that if she were single. And if a woman wants to find an equal partner, it is not easy if she is over 25.
