Considering the attitudes of many American women an Asian wife may be preferable.

I wish the article told us if the women wanted to bring their husbands to Japan or whether they moved to the U.S. or Europe.

Sounds like a driver of social change to me. When your women are losing interest in the clan and start hitching up with outsiders, things will change.

A generation of women who are now entering their 30s don't want to give up single life unless prospective partners are willing to break from traditional gender roles. Sounds like they have been Americanized already.

Maybe, but that's a huge cultural gap to overcome. ;)

I worked with some Japanese Students during the Summer quite a few years ago.
One of the guys once told me that A Japanese man wants a Japanese wife, a Chinese cook, and an American bathroom.

And we try to tell out American wives this and they don't believe you.

Hmmm. Instead of them looking for husbands, they should focus on single men. Heh heh.

I lived there for 9 mos. in 2002-3. To meet more Japanese I joined a badminton group that had several foreign members. Some people just liked to meet and socialize with foreigners, but I was surprised how frank many women were about wanting to marry a Westerner. (I was already married so I probably was able to get a more honest take.)

My husband and I are conservative. We have a pretty "traditional" marriage in that I'm a stay-at-home mom and he works full time to support us. Most household chores are divided along the typical gender roles. OTOH, my husband has never and would never treat me like the "maid" or in a subservient manner of any kind. I can sympathize with women anywhere who reject that kind of behavior. If they think they can find respect from a man outside their own country, more power to them.
To: MississippiMasterpiece
Well there we go folks. The "fit has hit the shan". You could always count on Japanese women to be good housewives, but NO - not anymore. The Japanese women prefer to live "liberated" lives now. I think this is one of the Biblical signs that the Apocalypse is near.

Mixed marriages in Japan Japanese men marry: Chinese 10,242 Filipinos 7,794 Koreans 2,235 Americans 156 British 65
Japanese women marry: Koreans 5,318 Americans 1,529 Chinese 890 British 334 Filipinos 117

Those are the gross figures. We're talking less that 29,000 mixed marriages a year in a country of 126,550,000. This is not exactly a tsunami of cultural change...

"They treat you like equals, and they don't hesitate to express mutual feelings of respect - I think Western men are more adept [at such things] than Japanese men," says the 36-year-old Ms. Mizuguchi, who works at a top trading firm. "They don't act like women are maids - I think they view women as individuals." Not this one. I'm no sucker.

I'm convinced that much of the hatred of the west from many societies is based on how we treat our women and the fear that they have that exactly this phenomenon will increase.
Muslims hate us because of it.
