Soul Planet,
I would know what they talk about if I hear their conversation because Cantonese is my first language.
Don't you see you and I are making the same points? Some posters made a brushing statement about HK women and I pointed out the fallacy in such a generalisation. Normally I would not try to correct them but their false belief and attitude are disrespectful and would have an effect on me in that when they bring that attitude to work it gives my profession a bad name.
They appeared to have only experienced a narrow part of the whole spectrum of personalities and have come to a conclusion that is outrageously far from the truth. You said that without trying to generalise, you feel the materialistic women behave materialistically. Well, what's the difference between that and saying left-handed people tend to write with their left hands?
It is one thing to express disdain towards people of a certain character, but it is a completely different matter to paint everyone with the same brush.
