"Very true." Lily nodded. "In this part of the world, women are considered a little less than men."
"Glad that you agree with me."
"However, I am not one of those women Liam." Lily's face turned serious as she crossed her arms in front of her. As someone who was bullied, underestimated, schemed against, women empowerment was a very sensitive issue for Lily. Women empowerment was something that she strongly supported in the west. However, the women in the east were really not as empowered as the ones in the west. Of course, Lily was not planning to blame anyone about this.
This was a behaviour influenced by traditions. Though the people in Hong Kong were not as traditional as the people from mainland China, gender equality was still an issue as people tend to look down on women, especially in the business industry. Lily was not going to be one of those oppressed women.
