I haven't heard the old America is a matriarchy since Terry-Thomas in It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World! Good to know we still have Brits proclaiming hoary cliches! And you guys would be speaking German if we didn't help you out in WWII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make your mind up and get your argument straight (not that I believe that is possible ...) First you think woman are ruling the country, then you say they don't stand up for themselves.

I'm so glad you said this, because it just can't be stated enough. I was just thinking the other day about all the female presidents we've had, how men are still paid less than women for doing the same work, how the glass ceiling keeps the men in lower wage work, how women hold the majority of Congressional seats, and more.

That old chestnut. Women are paid 70c on the dollar. Glass ceilings. Pfft.

Re: london vs new york
Half of girls in new york moved there because of sex and the city and really did. If you are doing that you are nuts. I have got guy friends 38 years old putting girls on scales they go over x weight they dump em. They have got issues. New York great but it is bs at the same time and the wow factor wears off very quickly. So much pressure to look good, be a certain weight, have a certain job, dress a certain way. London perhaps not so much.

Great answer! Nothing more annoying than hearing ex-pats whining on about how “everything was better back there”! It will not endear you to the locals and will just keep negative thoughts in your head instead of learning to adapt!

This thread got weird in a hurry.
Also, I quote Levon Helm in the great concert film The Last Waltz: "New York is an adult portion."
