Sexism....made in China

In addition to my experience in previous post, I had another sexism experience few years back. I rented a room in England and my landlord was a family from China, not very old couple, around 40 years old. My then-bf-now-husband L came to visit me quiet often. When he came, I was pampered like a Queen (heheh..). Sometimes, L will prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner and he will do the washing and cleaning as well. And one day.....

Stupid chinese man : Aiya, why you so scare of ur gf one?
L : huh?
SCM : Why you have to do all the houseworks. Women should do that.
L : No, in today's world we don't differentiate what women and men should do anymore. Everyone is at the same level. In Malaysia, it is very common for men to help with houseworks.
SCM : No way. Men should never do the houseworks.
L : ??!!??

After that, they like to tease L 'kia bor'. *!@#&!?*#@!

I was shocked that somewhere in this world, we still have people with such thinking. This is 21st century and nobody should think this way anymore. Yes ? No ?
