I've handled many a divorce for an Asian woman, from places like South Korea, Viet Nam, Philippines, from Asian men. Their Asian husbands expect the following: They work one job and help out in a family business; the wife works one job, too, but is also in charge of the family business. They send all the extra money to their families back home or else spend it as they please; the wife is kept on an allowance. They come home, they don't do any housework or anything else around the house; the wife does all the housework, immaculate house, every meal cooked from scratch. They are domineering and abusive by American standards; the wives are deferential and act like they don't have any problem with this sort of treatment. They have a woman, or more than one woman on the side; the wives must practice strict fidelity, plus be sexually available whenever requested by the husband, without complaint. And the wives are also expected to be cheerful, attentive, and nurturing while the husband acts like the entire household revolves around him. Eventually the women get tired of this, figure that they're making enough money to support themselves and get a divorce. The primary reason they don't get a divorce is that the kids are young or their families won't approve. But if they do get a divorce and marry an American man, they're amazed at how much nicer American men are to them, while American men are amazed at how much more they're willing to give than American women. Now that American women are no longer financially dependent on men, why should we strive to emulate Asian women? Asian women aren't happy in the role they're brought up in. There's no innate difference between us, other than cultural expectations.
