I have to say, I don't know a huge amount about Vietnamese culture, but I would say it is one of the least patriarchal/most matriarchal Asian societies.
Case in point, in relevance to HN: I knew someone who was sourcing electronic parts from there. Japanese companies have set up their "outsourced" manufacturing there, with electronics plants meeting some ISO standards, etc. There is a heavy female:male predominance at many of these plants.
- anigbrowl 12y agoMy in-laws are Vietnamese. this is an astute observation; Vietnam has a tradition of prominent female military leaders going back millenia. For example, the Trung sisters are considered national heroes for their resistance to (patriarchal) Confucian rule by the Chinese, resulting in their becoming joint queens of Vietnam for several years, though they eventually suffered military defeat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr%C6%B0ng_Sisters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr%C6%B0ng_Sisters
