Gender Relations

Before, women were treated very poorly in Vietnam. At home, they had no voice, and were required to do whatever it was their husbands said. Nowadays, they're permitted a great deal more freedom, and if a woman happens to earn more money than her husband, she has significant authority.

There is no morphological difference in Vietnamese with respect to gender, and men and women both speak the same way grammatically and lexically. However, men do speak more quickly, loudly, and aggressively than women do, though she said this is not as prevalent as it was before women started to gain more social liberty.

As mentioned before, men do like to stand closer to one another than women do. There is no real difference in genders, the only changes are when they're directed between the sexes, where caution is expected owing to the strength of marriage obligations.
