In closing, I really do not understand why some women here are offended by all this order of nature.>>> For centuries, in their believe of this order of nature Chinese society bound women's feet for whatever reasons that can not be defended. Nevertheless, Andrea Jung's mother born in Shangai and her husband born in Hong Kong moved to the USA when Andrea was 2 years old. 39 years later, Andrea has a family of her own with a 5 year old daughter, and Andrea Jung is also the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. To get to where she is today, did she have to overcome some obstacles that had nothing to do with whether shou could do the job or not? According to Andrea. <<<Jung found that businessmen limited insight into women's abilities. Most still considered women fragile vessels whose self-confidence could be shattered with a well delivered put-down and whose strength would be depleted after eight hours high-powered deal making. Jung realized that men saw themselves as modern-day Genghis Khans. They believed they could shout through 12 hours of fist-pounding negotiations and afterwards sweat through several games of racketball without getting winded.>>> The point of all this is that this order of nature exist only in your mind. It is words that you have made up. Show me in what book of science, or philosophy, or any other thoughts of human beings on this planet where your order of nature is thought to exist. Point to me the name of a book, the name of an author, the name of a scientist, or any other human being other than Ali Chen that reflect in some way yours words about the order of nature. Mary
