To: Shut up and take it
I wonder how different the reactions would be if American women were seeking men from overseas. Hmmm...

Seems to me some would prefer a submissive wife to one who has an opinion.

Problem--women here know that they aren't going to get a better group of suckers in the world. Trained from birth in feminism and chivalry--not just being nice to women, but elevating them, competing with other men for them and handing them things.

Another problem--by and large, the foreign men don't want the American women except as sexual novelties.

A simple search can reveal how expat women have extreme difficulties in much of the rest of the world while living out their career choice. While the men have the pick of the litter and the time of their lives--even in wealthy nations with little impetus for the women to leave, like Japan. The men of the home country merely want the plaything but for marriage they want women of their own kind. There has to be a demand for your scenario to have any credence.

And it is a typical feminist view that foreign women are somehow submissive--latin women and russian women are not submissive. I'd argue that most SE Asian women are not submissive either, but it is slightly racist or at least ethnocentric to assume that American women somehow possess the "rebellious gene" when compared to the very jealous Filipinas and Russian women who are educationally intellectually on par with their mates, if not superior.

Many Western feminists mistake femininity and lacking the entitlement attitude and hard-edge with "submissiveness." As is evident from my post, this is very much a mistaken view and a bigoted one.

And the women will continue to rail against the evil men or call dignified, feminine women "sex slaves" or "submissive" while their men continue to marry ELSEWHERE.

Again, there are bad and good in every bunch, but there's a damn reason this type of thing has taken off. And it's not because men are a-holes or only want servants.
