I know that for you asians it's a big thing that woman is in any kind of leadership position, but it's really an everyday thing here. Really.

Lol, you know, nowadays women has better chance at getting employed than men. At least in Korea. We've seen a lot of exodus of young women from rural to urban areas receiving good quality education in cities occupying luxurious white collar positions while men are bogged down by what they call the 'greater possibility', e.g. military service.
For example, the CEO of Samsung Electronics, the biggest electronics company in the world, is a woman.
I got it wrong. @_@ It's actually the chairwoman of Hyundai Group who's woman. lawl
I dunno who's in higher position, if it's the CEO or the chairwoman. But I don't care, both of them look too lucrative to be entrusted to a woman if Korea was too male-dominant.
And Korea doesn't have many servicewomen. At least, not someone who's as high as a general. But I don't think it's necessarily because of Korea's preference to men; the women just lack the perseverance and the humility to take up such a down-to-earth occupation.

"There is nothing on this earth sexier, believe me, gentlemen, than a woman you have to salute in the morning. Promote em all, I say, because this is true - if you havent gotten a blow-job from a superior officer, well, youre just letting the best in life pass you by. Course, my problem is, Im a colonel, so I guess Ill just have to keep taking cold showers until one of you gals is elected president."
