Hey folks,
http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/beauty/6041397/Kiwi-women-are-slobs-Wikipe...
"According to Wikipedia women in New Zealand are unfeminine, wear masculine clothing and spend ''little time on makeup and personal grooming''."
Somebody might want to take a look at this -- the article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_New_Zealand.
This is the relevant paragraph:
"Lack of femininity: Women in New Zealand are supposedly unfeminine, for example wearing masculine clothing and spending little time on makeup and other forms of personal grooming. This can also be seen in a positive light; Kiwi women are portrayed as not being held back by ideas about being 'ladylike' and are therefore willing to take on 'masculine' tasks such as car maintenance and playing rugby. Former Prime Minister Helen Clark is often seen as an embodiment of this stereotype, for good and bad: critics point at her lack of children and her choice on one occasion to meet the Queen while wearing trousers; supporters like her passion for mountain climbing and ability to hold her own in parliamentary debates.[24]"
If nobody else has time to look at it I'll try to do it sometime in the next few days :-)
Thanks, Sue
