   I have a very random memory of being made to go to a many hours long Chinese tea ceremony class as a 12 year old and thinking ‘when would I ever make tea’ and now, as a 40 year old tea nerd..

     I’m sure it was 30 minutes long but my teenage brain thought it was many hours long.

     They even spent time talking about materials for tea pots and how to pour tea.

     I went to a school that wanted to turn us into ‘elegant and clever Chinese women well versed in accounting, business, and the arts’

     I think I could have skipped over a lot of early gender and domesticity angst if someone had told me I’m a lesbian and I’ll get to do homely things for beautiful women when I get older, not men.

     @skinnylatte There are! But they usually also see it as one personal choice of many not a “wow this is great for all wives” since they usually don’t want *their* wife to be a trad wife. :)
