Alameda, you're saying "because american women are also obsessed with looks, we shouldn't talk about turkish women", which I don't think makes sense. It is worth to talk about it even if it was just because of the fact that the way american women obsess about looks, (express their emotions, the things they think about in their lives) are all very different from turkish women.

Quoting Elisabeth: I have noticed that my mother and sister in law (and my husbands female Aunts and Cousins) are masters of manipulation. They just have a talent for presenting information to their husbands in order to elicite the response they want. It reminds me a little of that line in My Big Fat Greek Wedding....."A man may be the head of the family but the woman is the neck and she can turn him anyway she wants." I have no idea what this means for all Turkish women but that is what I have seen. |
oh, thats my favorite movie!

Catwoman are you afraid of something? Why are you always fighting with your own shadow? Alameda gave that example about American women to prove that making generalizations will not get you anywhere.

No, that is not what I wrote or was trying to express. My point was, being obsessed with looks is not a unique trait of Turkish women. It is a trait held by many woman internationally. When discussing cultural traits, one looks for something unique, not a common trait held in many other cultures. Is that clear enough for you?

So the How that is different would be more useful, in this case. You were not specific on how that difference manifests itself in Turkish culture.

I'm not sure if that's clear enough for me, can you please explain more? And by the way, I must also not have been clear enough for you looks like, I'm sorry.

Of course, you jumped in before that could happen.
