As a note, I AM Chinese. While it's true that Chinese culture is currently very conservative sexually, this whole business about women walking behind the men is crap. Chinese women are expected to work, at a job if your in the city, in the fields if your in the country.
Let's not forget the crucial roles that women played in Chinese revolution, and the momumental freedoms that they've gained through it. Is Chinese society still patriarchical? Yes. Do chinese women grow up learning to tend to every need of a man? Tell you what, find a Chinese girl, ask her that, and come back and tell us what it felt like to get slapped in the face.
The problem with countries like China, is that their history is so long and varied, that most foreigners don't fully appreciate the differences between any two time frames in that country's timeline. Ask a random person on the street about women in China, more often then not they'll spew some crap about footbinding.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I get emotional sometimes.
