 Re: Vienna Philharmonic in Sydney

You're right. I should have said. "Be careful when you evaluate another culture as you are an outsider. You can't help but be ethnocentric in these situations, so it is always a good idea to give "they're different" the benefit of the doubt over "We're better."

I agree, after careful consideration I too find the situation in the VPO wrong. I can't think of any western culture that can, justify gender-specific rules outside of religious leadership and pregnancy. However if this were the Dubai, New Dheli, or Taipei philarhomanic, I would be much more hesitant to judge and would wonder what women in that culture have to say first.

(I realize that the East Asian cultures, esp. mainland China have relatively few "glass ceiling" issues compared to the West, but I don't pretend to understand them well enough to judge them even on more "clear" issues, like the Chinese tendency to value order over individual life.)
