You could patronize me all you want, that's my observation of the American families. And I read an article recently to back it up:

Why there are more walk-away moms

On the father daughter dance, no one is trying to deny you the pleasure of dancing with your daughter. But high school is cruel enough, without all these social pressures. If they change it to dance with your parent event, it's more inclusive and less heartbreaking for those who have lost their father. I know if I didn't have a father for such an event, I would've been very heartbroken.

And thanks for immigration advice. I'm not planning to move anyway. The grass always seems to be greener on the other side, but I'm strangely happy here.



Oh please. Out of all the ludicrous statements you make on here, this is pushing it. You know better than us? The people who actually live, breathe, and observe this country? Dont think for one second youre an expert on the American family, you've received so many examples from people of how gender roles here aren't a huge deal anymore. Yet here you are carrying on and whining about a problem that really doesn't exist in America this day and age. It ain't the sixties and seventies anymore. You wanna campaign for rights for women, do it in a place that actually needs it: like your own country for instance.

And I'll be damned if anyone is going to change a father-daughter dance to a "parent-daughter" dance. You wanna talk about a stupid ass idea, there's one right there.
