A North American corporation would have taken lemons and made lemonade. The corporation could have stood behind her memory, made a name for itself in the world of corporate good will, maybe set up a scholarship in honor of her for other abused women. You know? I think a western company would have wrapped itself in the flag of being a good corporate citizen and championing a cause. It could have played off a "Behind beauty is strength" theme. You know, they make good buildings but underneath they're strong and they'll do the right thing blah blah. The thing about the construction company.

These girly men are only an improvement if one remembers that yangban culture had a serious mother-slut problem: men left the wife with Mom and often didn't even return home. Showing any concern for one's wife is still considered sentimental and weak. If a woman doesn't walk paces behind the man or wait on him hand and foot, it makes him look bad. Mothers are more likely to give up bus seats to their sons than have them sit on laps, as do wives often with their husbands. Perhaps it's better to do this gradually with movies than by the shock of the Pill, as happened in the US. Still, I'm surprised it's not more common, because of the mandatory military service. I still get in my moods to shine my shoes. I cook on weekends, too! I taught my wife how to make western food. Even my grandfather, a former Marine, insisted on making his own lunch, to honor the times he had to stand in a picket line for soup and bread. Of course, he hunted and spent most of his free time in the woods. My mother also taught my sister and I both to cook and wash our clothing early, because she appreciated the help. Gawd, Korean men are just Mommy-suckling pansies!
