Culture lesson

My janitor friend brought by an article he printed off the internet
about another culture's norms on love and marriage. I asked "What is
this? Why do you think I care about marriage in another country? Are
trying to depress me because I'm single?"
He said he'll come back when I am in a better mood, leaving the
literature behind. He comes back and I hand back the literature. We go a
few rounds of I don't want to read the paper. The first 2 paragraphs
were enough. I get busy and he gives it to my coworker. She reads
through it and eventually Iread it because I'm bored. It offended my
femnist principles.
Yes I am fully aware other cultures vastly differ from my own, but that
does not mean I have to agree or understand it. I also know cultures
change over time. Post later. Bye!
