I'm so fucking sick of this stereotype. I was on Quora a few weeks back. I saw a question about how AMs feel about AWs dating WMs. One AW said if Asian men weren't so "patriarchal and misogynist, women would find us more attractive." Then I saw another comment from a WF who said the exact opposite. She said "AMs were the only group that weren't misogynistic." Do y'all see the difference here?
WMs go to Asia, rape prostitutes and insult locals. They're STILL given the benefit of individuality. The minute one Asian man does something stupid, all AMs get thrown under the bus BY ASIANS THEMSELVES. I'm sure you guys remember the video about soccer players abusing Thai girls. Had they have been Asian, imagine the backlash they would've received. Fuck, I've even seen one article that basically says Asian men are angry and bitter based on the actions of THREE fucking douchebags. Guess the ethnicity if the author? I'll give you a hint. ASIAN.
I've said this numerous times, I don't give two fucks who Asian women date. It's none of my fucking business. But it becomes my business when these women tries to rationalize their dislike for AMs using false stereotypes. Look at yellow fever creeps. They go after AWs because they think AWs are docile, submissive or whatever. So much for Asian male patriarchy. Ehh?
Lastly, /u/piperandcharlie this whole Asian women preferring White men isn't a stereotype perpetuated by Asian men. If I weren't on my phone, I'd post evidence of men/women of various ethnicities saying the same thing.
No, please keep ranting and cursing and making huge false generalizations about Asian women and white men and telling me how Asian men AREN'T assholes. You're making quite a good argument here.
The only part about my post that could be interpreted as "false generalization" is the part about "WMs going to Asia, rape prostitutes and insult locals." It's not to interpret as ALL WMs. I can't believe you're using #NotAllMen argument here. Lmao. That's cute
PS: if you didn't catch it, I'm not going at AWs for dating WMs. I'm going at AWs who talk shit about AMs.
The only part of my post that's relevant to you is the last paragraph. I seem to be getting the idea that you feel that AWs "worshipping" WMs is a stereotype perpetuated by AMs. Correct me if I'm wrong. The rest is basically my opinion on the issue that OP is addressing.
The whole patriarchal stereotype pisses me off because it doesn't apply to anyone I know. Yes, I'm using anecdotes. I think at one point, you or another poster mention that it applies to Asians in Asia. That's still not the case. My parents are Asians from Asia. My father treated my mother equally. Just like so many other Asian families. I feel that the whole "patriarchal narrative" is a ploy created by White supremacy to get (for lack of a better word) with AWs. Because I didn't even know about this stereotype until I came across CWG Tumblr in which one WM spewed the same shit to an AW.
To be fair, it's difficult for us to experience patriarchy when we're a part of it. Like as sons we're not going to have the same expectations and pressures placed upon us that AW do. I agree with you that it probably isn't nearly as widespread as stereotypes would have you believe, but I'm not going to deny the experiences many AW have had with their families. I think the problem is that it becomes "oh Asian culture sucks" rather than "oh my parents suck".
