I am an American Woman

So I have come to realize why a lot of women around the globe hate American girls. They say we are too easy, too loud and too forward and confrontational. As I was growing up I always thought that I would help people have a better opinion if American girls. But now, I embrace the entire stereotype. Yes, I speak in a normal tone. I do not speak in a high FAKE falsetto and so softly that you can barely hear it. I am not a mouse and I also hate having to repeat myself or asking others to repeat what they said just because they want to appear meek and feminine. I am forward and confrontational. I say a lot of what I think and I know problems do not disappear just by wishing them away. Talking behind people's back is something that mean middle school girls do. I also know that if you do not make a problem known and fight for what you want, it will most likely never come to pass. About the too easy part: to each woman her own. It is extremely frustrating though, when different cultures have alternate views of intimacy.
Also, it makes me sick that a culture can let people off for rape because they had dinner first. I am trying my best to be respectful and not too judgemental about a culture I was not raised in and do not fully understand. But some things are downright wrong no matter how you put it. Domestic abuse is never okay. Rape is not okay. I do not want to start a revolution or even make the girls here like me but who is going to fight for them if their culture permits it and they do not. And they even have a female prime minister. I am baffled.
