Now, in my opinion this IS a flame - a personal attack. The thread was
only in the grey area before.

My advice to the cute blonde... ask the consulting company what their
security policies are (if any) to ensure your safety. Then research
the area to which you will be travelling, specifically with respect to
customs, dress, etc. and determine if you will be able to abide by the
social norm of that environment. If you have any fears, doubts, etc.,
you would be better to pass on this opportunity. Trust your instincts.

As for everything else, can we keep this thread on topic? Perhaps
another thread could be opened to deal with self-perceptions,
political correctness, etc. If not, can we kill it?
