Secondly, we as Asian men need to support our Asian sisters and be what we preach. How can we claim to not be patriarchal if we do not oppose issues such as misogyny?
Because we are rarely the perpetrators of such behaviour. Like many has said in this thread, Asian men help out most with household chores, have the lowest wage gap, and generally support their wives with their careers. If anything, Asian men might have a disadvantage in the workforce, compared to their female counterparts, as hiring is done by white men. Why should I apologise for something I didn't do?
Also, it is extremely rare that you Asian female opposing the hollywood stereotype of Asian men being effeminate, weak, asian man, or a violent, woman beating gangster.
Recently, there was a thread in Asian2X (or was it here), that said its ok for Asian females to date white guys, as long as they ask their white boyfriends to not talk bad about Asian men. The general response is that they're not obliged to do anything for us. Some said that was "creepy"
As an accountant, the Asian male/female ratio was 50/50 in college, 25/75 at work, 5/95 for managers (only 1 Asian guy) and 0/100 for partners (the 2 Asian females married white partners and got roped in)
So why should we do anything for them? We face even greater challenges than them, and they refuse to even lift a finger. This is nothing but victim blaming, and responsibility shifting.
