This is kind of a sidebar issue.
Before I met my wife, I tried "dating" the single and available Caucasian women around me. They all turned me down. After I met my wife, and it became generally known that we were dating, the very same Caucasian women seemed unhappy about it.
Where I worked at the time, there were several racks of comm equipment along one wall. My job was to make periodic checks on the equipment, and the access points were behind the racks. One day I was behind the racks, doing my job, when a few of the women gathered up front (apparently, they didn't know I was there). Almost immediately, they started talking about my girlfriend (future wife) and I. They said things like: "
I really hate those Asian girls - coming to our country and stealing our jobs and our men ..." and "
What is it with Fnord? Why does he have to date one of those <bleeping> Asian girls when there are plenty of us white girls to ask out?" and "
Stupid men and those <bleeping> <racist epithets>, anyway ...".
They didn't want this white guy, yet they complained when this white guy started dating an Asian girl. What the fork?
Returning to this question, I recently watched (on the recommendation of a strident Feminist) the movie
The Stepford Wives.
One scene in the movie reminded me of one of the key unpleasant characteristics of our women

Our women love nothing better than to get together to whine, moan and complain, generally about men. And, they will exaggerate things to try to outdo each other how despicable their men are. And, they will exchange tips about how to manipulate their men into doing what they want.
Fnord (and others) can back me up on this: an Asian wife would absolutely never publicly denigrate her husband. When Asian wives get together, they will also exaggerate, but typically in the other direction, and try to outdo each other over how great their husband is, his college degrees, professional achievements and awards, and what an excellent provider he is, and how wonderfully their children are doing in school. They're much more interested in saving face for their families, and it would be shameful for them to be perceived as seeking to humiliate their husbands.
