275-300

        In the section 275-300 the key points that hessler made about men were very intriguing to me, especially the comment about class, and labor regarding the length of their pinky nail. the reason behind males having their pinky finger nails so long symbolized that they were at the social class of not having to do manual labor. To me this is such a strange way of showing that, and i would have to agree with hessler that it looks absurdly feminine. another key point was that money is way more of a male equity, and women were less likely to go into a business or find independent jobs. women have less opportunity to become independent and successful. In the Chinese culture money is meant more for men. the culture that we are in here in the U.S is much more different then the Chinese culture. women have just as much as the right to independence as well as success as men do, and learning about the culture in china and how women do no have much of a choice at all is degrading and very sad. i could not imagine my life being that way and living in a culture where women do not have any rights.
