I'm happily married to an American woman for 33 years now, so I wouldn't be inclined to agree with the premise that American women are so obnoxious. OTOH, the female comments on this thread are pretty damn shrill.

I don't think anyone is complaining about American women 33 years ago. They're complaining about American women today. While you are to be congratulated for your long and successful relationship (felicitations!), that same relationship has removed you from the group best-positioned to comment on marriageable American women and most-impacted by the same. If your marriage ended today and you had to start over with a new woman, what would you find? That's the issue here.

The early focus on one man's pink shirt and the derogation of a 27-year-old woman as a "child bride" is pretty shrill, though.

It's almost as if someone wanted to prove the guy's point!

You're right, I'm removed from the scene. I do have a 24 year old daughter, though.

FWIW, if there is a problem with American women being too whatever they are, I'm inclined to give some of the blame to our puritanism. The parallels between puritanism and political correctness are too obvious for them to be just coincidence. IMO.
