So I asked my co teacher if she believed in Santa Claus as a little girl growing up in Korea. She said yes she did. That every year she would pray by the window in hopes that Santa would bring her a gift.

The outcome was that she would get nothing year after year, while every year her brother (being a boy you see) would get something nice from Santa.

I don't get it - why would her parents get something for her brother but nothing for her? (I am assuming it's really her parents who bought the present).

...because she's a girl, and until recently, females were 'second class' citizens.

Who do you think will be the first Korean astronaut, the man or the woman? You only get one guess.

I predict that the man will be chosen, but he will get a sex change so it will be a tranny that will become the first Korean astrotranny. Laughing
