Students and teachers at my university program discuss an American science report to highlight gender inequalities. The report suggests that younger women losing their virginity at young age suffer greater risk of depression. The word "chastity" in the report creates a wave of laughter throughout the room.
Male student: "Chastity"? Is this a serious report?
Female teacher: This is what one could expect from America, haha.
Me (with an exaggerated irony): Haha, yeah, good thing we all prefer to be whores in Sweden.
(Silence.)
Female teacher (still baffled): Hrm, so, where do we find linguistic gender inequalities in this report?
[In Sweden everyone thinks Americans are fanatic Christians of low intelligence who want to torture, kill and brainwash the world's population. Except Obama and the Democrats, because they resemble Europe.]
