What is "a full member"? It means that the person has paid their fees to be a member of a club. And can we use visible this way---sb. is visible?If this is OK,what does it mean? Or are there other ways of using "visible"? Visible means to be seen, eg Only Jane's head was visible because she was hiding behind a bush. Lastly, what does this sentence mean--"While remaining courage to compete until certain themselves, we are expected to be quiet,loyal and obedient." From a speech scripture whose writer complaining that women are treated unequally. But I don't quite understand the opening of the sentence,is this kind of Chinese-English? No it doesn't make sense. I think the writer meant that while women may be expected to be courageous and compete [ in athletics?] they are still expected to remain quiet and obedient.
