[quote=GUEST15442,369798]I think it is rather ridiculous to generalize western women as bitchy and masculine and asian women as feminine and submissive. Not only are these stereotypes not true, but they really undercut the value of the individual and make it obvious that you are seeing people through the lense of bias and not paying attention to their actual personality. I am a western woman and have dated men of all races, and I have not found, for example, that asian men are less masculine than western men, like people tend to comment. In terms of latinas, I am latina and I don't find them to be more emotionally or physically feminine than american women. They do put more care and attention into their clothes/appearance, which is actually just a cultural thing in general - the men take more care of their appearance as well and tend to be more stylish than americans. But this has more to do with cultural pressure on presentation/looks than it does with femininity. American women are just as feminine, and I don't see why they wouldn't be nurturing/motherly just like any other woman. But in any case, I can guarantee you that even though people of some cultures (asian women for example) may initially be shy/submissive, eventually once you marry and know them well they will be anything but. So take care not to make such bigoted assumptions because you really cannot make any assumptions about anyone's real personality by just watching their initial behavior. Westernern women tend to be more direct and forceful yes, not because of the "feminist movement", but rather because all westerners tend to be more direct and forceful. This says nothing about their capacity for nurturing and love, but is rather just the way we've been raised and taught to behave. Personally, I see nothing wrong with western behavior in itself - there is nothing wrong with being direct, sociable - outward oriented - unless it is taken to an extreme.[/quote]
