>>has a large amount of cultural baggage from quite frankly medieval times

>I wonder what exactly you mean by this.

I was at a festival last night - the screens by the stage were playing ads in between the acts (that itself is a topic for another day!).

After a cringe-worthy advert for the UK (that I didn't even recognise it was so far fetched), there then appeared a public information message in Portuguese. It said (and I do my best to translate):

"What is the place for a women?" (pause) "Wherever she wants it to be"

Full credit to them for trying to drag themselves into the 21st century, having mostly avoided the 20th - you can see what I'm getting at.
