You are right. It is a subservient rather than a flattering pose. It is very strange for a foreign woman to voluntarily submit to the passivity which others don't have a choice about espcecially the women. I as a women am personally offended by it. Do you really need to be so careless.

Not your most flattering pose?
Not your most flattering pose?? You are a real slave to religion, which already treats women like second class people. What the hell is wrong with people like you,?? who encourage this type of thing to continue. You should be ashamed of yourself, and your lack of support of other women.

What the hell is wrong with me?! What the hell is wrong with you, you ignorant bitch?! It's women like you that give every other woman a bad name. If you were actually up to date on your cultural knowledge you would know that my "unflattering pose" was part of "making merit". It had absolutely nothing to do with me "bowing before a man" which I assume was the point of your ignorant blast! I'm pretty sure that if you went to SE Asia or knew ANYTHING about Buddhism and culture and religion you would know that both men and women bow before a monk to be blessed during merit. have a nice day.
