A completely purposeful literal application of a metaphorical piece...
it's amazing how something can mean so many things in so many contexts. Thank you for the perspective!

I don't beong to America, but in my country which is India, women do back-
breaking work in the fields removing weeds. And for some such work is their only source of livelihood, though they don't earn that much from it.

hmmmm...I might resemble this post...
I had a question about your comment on WEEDS...
What back-breaking work do you refer to exactly?
Are we talking about the way women in America earn money?
Are we talking about writing?

hiiiii....
i would say once again perceptions come into play..people percieve from their own angles & that too from outside only.....one is free to percieve & judge but before one puts forth his thoughts one should always leave space for some accomodation of ideas which can come later on...when you get a different perspective...

avant-garde,
I think the "outsider" should at least take some time to observe and get an understanding of the community before being too officious. In cases like that, even the most humble suggestion can be viewed as officious. I'd try to be cautious before offering opinion or suggestions.

Sometimes the outsider can see things from a more unbiased viewpoint. But it can work the other way, too, and it is generally rude of them to comment prematurely.

Maybe they should belong first before they talk.
