I am very sad to have another confirmation of the decay of the EE education system... You know, I went to school until the high school in a EE country and it was in the 1990s so it was the post communist era, but still the communist educational system : contests everywhere, to enter to high school, to enter to the university, etc. The selection was inhuman especially in Medecine or Law, people were failing their contest to enter at the university with a note of 9.75/10. It was really competitive. And I always say that the reason of my succes at the Sorbonne university it wasn't because I was smarter than others but because I was first trained in the communist system.
I can only attest to that! I may be a decade younger but post communist EE system trained me well for hard work. In fact, it’s a real pleasant breeze what Londoners consider hard work and stressful environment
I heard same stories and this is why I get furious when the "Russian Golddigger" card is being played on good-hearted (& hard working) EE woman who in addition may look gorgeous. As if those women would be in need of playing mommy to a whimpy pansy ( = being in a relationship with those kind of men) if they can achive everything on their own. Thus my very first post had them as topic.
Urgh, but I am pretty fed up with descrimination in general, especially towards women. Women change the way they dress to keep safe, have to change the way they look to get a job (not allowed to wear glasses to work in South Korea, there was a protest against that; woman of colour have to get their hair straightened to look professional) and that in the 21st century.
And then comes Anna, embodiment of women empowernment, you know the rest.
(Just as a disclaimer: I don't hate men and they struggle to under the sexism too. I hate all this discrimination BS in generall, can't we all just love & support each other beyond class, race and gender? I know it's pretty naive, but a girl can dream.)
