You are spot on!  From my years of living in Hong Kong and spending time in Scotland what I found from the women in these two countries (and yes, Scots say it is a country before any geography buffs try to educate me on the United Kingdom's political geography) is that women just get on and get stuff done.  They don't complain.  They don't whine.  They work hard.  They know some days are tougher than others.  They take the good with the bad.  But they are good, honest, realistic people who take life by the horns and don't fuss and complain.  In fact, in Hong Kong, it is surely the women who run the households, let me tell you.

In North America, we complain.  Everything is micro aggression.  Everything is sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.  

Life is what you make of it.  If you don't think you are earning what you deserve, go somewhere else.
