Despite having suffered 40 years of catholic conservative dictatorship, as a society we're actually quite progressive tbh. For example, we were the 3rd country in the world to legalize gay marriage. Women here are treated with much more dignity than in Italy, especially southern Italy, where women are still expected to not work and take care of the housework. Female submission is sadly all over their culture in Italy... if you watch TV there, their shows are full of dancers that look like stripers and most of their TV hosts are page 3 girls. They elect people like Berlusconi ffs. If a politician here said something like "I got this great deal from the female Prime Minister of Finland, thanks to my playboy techniques", like Berlusconi did, instead of receiving widespread acclaim and a rise in popularity, he'd likely have to resign.
that is very interesting, i have to admit that i also was surprised about spain, expected them to be coloured similarly to portugal. live and learn...
