They could go back to Russia.
And how does this fit with the meme that all “Eastern” women are dainty, submissive, ego-boosters, perfect for the Western man who doesn’t want to make any effort?
As a man engaged to a Singapore Chinese woman, this is a common and mistaken belief widely held by American women. What the Asian or other "Eastern" woman will not do is criticize her husband in public because she believes (correctly) that doing so is harmful to the image of the family. Behind closed doors, Asian women don't hesitate to say what they think. Loudly. :)
Regarding the Russian women's comments, I suspect they are just encountering the same general decline in class among people under 50 that we are seeing in the USA. Television programming is the role model for ugly social behavior on both sides of the pond.
you all make good points.
and yes, they are amazingly fashion conscious.
as for the “meme”, certainly not all of any country is the same.
how can America produce both the daughter of McCain and the daughter of Cheney?
many Russian women are westernized and feminized. especially from big cities. also, consider the subset, that these are women who have enough money to travel and study abroad. (again, these are the progressive types).
...but the average shop worker in Russia, i find amazingly polite, friendly, well-dressed, etc. and they do realize that men and women are DIFFERENT, unlike many of our psychologists and proffessors. Most, especially devout Orthodox, do accept the man as head of the family, and wish to make him happy. (but, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t notice if he is slovenly or dirty. she simply keeps it to herself.).
Conservative religious American women, and conservative religious Russian women, are both wonderful.
and any man lucky enough to have one, should cherish her, as it says in Ephesians.
