Commuting in a short dress - Recommended!

Is this also cultural expectation? I get the impression (and I may be wrong) that ladies are treated with more respect in China then here.

I grew up here so am British culturally with small amounts of chinese culture (another long topic there)

Look into Chinese history, bound feet, women marry into families as slaves and child bearers. The value of the son and the abandonment of Chinese female babies.

More women in Hong Kong are in high powered positions compared to the UK but it's not necessarily more respectful in lots of ways.

So when I get nice ones they make me smile a little

So what would you class as a nice comment? Nice legs? May I say you are a very beautiful Lady? You don't sweat much for a fat lass? (ducks )

It takes a bit to make my jaw drop but I struggle to imagine how anyone would think it appropriate to ask a complete stranger to shoot a video up her own skirt whilst cycling.

It was a joke and actually it was more a comment on how boring I find Cycle You Tube vids and the plethra of them in communting vis a vie near misses, clearly lost in translation. If it caused any offence I would be surprised but would apologise if it had!

OK it was just a thought.

I was referring to the current situation and not history. Most cultures have some horrendous skeletons in their closets.

No. I did say I may be wrong.

Really, all I ask is that people think before they post, there is a difference between sharing a joke with someone you know and lewd lazy but jokey posting.

No. I did say I may be wrong.

Some of my gf's family dont even think women should be educated.

No. I did say I may be wrong.

As an example in HK, young women are called 'pretty girl' as a standard form of colloquial address.

Then based upon your experience I am wrong.

I get comments about my leg bits from males and females. I can only deduce that they have a scar fetish, but there's nothing wrong with 'window shopping' I suppose.
I draw the line at a bandage though...

Lukesdad has got nice legs. Proper cyclist.

It's not surprising that the men want to keep the ladies in the kitchen really. Have you ever tasted Cantonese pastries? YUM!
