#2 Just keep badmouthing men who hold doors for you, dear.

Indian men don't hold or open doors for women. The concept is completely alien there. Hold the door for anyone there and they will look at you like you're nuts.

Look at a woman cross eyed in India and they could charge you with harassment. The laws are such that you're guilty until proven innocent, the police are required to open a case against you. Unless the woman can be persuaded to recant, or another woman will witness for you, you're hosed.

#3 In a Japense movie from the late fifties I was atonished when I saw a women making a deep bow to a higher ranked man and he answering it with a light nod.

You probably don't know but Louis XIV, the Sun King, that monument of arrogance, saluted every woman he met, no matter how humble her condition and he saluted her first. Of course, because this was XVIIth century he didn't salute floor cleaners and duchesses the same way but he still saluted them.

More than everything else this scene of the Japanese movie made me feel how alien Asian culture is to us.

#4 WE are guilty because men have eyes?

You must be a Muslim, afraid to show a inch of skin.
