Indonesian culture is not gender neutral. The women that are more likely to want to be seen equally will seek out men from different cultural backgrounds that put a greater value on that. I have met many women over the years that have expressed that interest. (maybe Dan's wife is one)
Nah, the istri has a thing for white boys. She's a strong, independent woman, but I don't think she married me because she perceives my culture to favor greater equality or freedoms. Sometimes she criticizes me for being too liberal, though not on issues of women's rights.
You can take the girl out of Aceh, but you can't take Aceh out of the girl, no?
She's had a fascination with the English language due to boy bands. That was her escape in boarding school. I can thank Westlife and the Backstreet Boys for my marriage. Oh, and Chris Evans.
