I hate reading any story in the New York Times in which the subject is women in a foreign country. These articles are always written from a perspective that the US constitutes some gender utopia that should be emulated. Who are they kidding? "Since the Equal Employment Opportunity Law was passed in 1985, women have become a common sight on factory floors, at construction sites and behind the wheels of taxis. But they have had much less success reaching positions of authority, which remain the preserve of gray-suited salarymen."
