Traditional Asian Woman Western men in search of an Asian woman often define the object of their search as a “traditional Asian woman.” This is due to the mistaken belief that Asian woman come from a cultural background that forces her to be subservient towards men. This might be true if the woman was in her native country surrounded by traditional boundaries. However, when she arrives in America she experiences a transformation and realizes she needs to define the boundaries of what is acceptable to her when encountering western expectations in a relationship. Most Asian women are able to carve out a new, bicultural identity without rejecting their traditional Asian heritage, in which they still have a sense of pride. They do face "model minority" pressure to be the perfect mother, wife, and lover as well. American culture has not only adopted the myth that Asians are smarter and harder working than other minorities but that they are exotic and erotic objects as well. There has been an increase in sex crimes targeting Asian American women and this has been identified as a hate crime and a distorted form of racist love. Recent studies have indicated that Asian American women have a high incidence of violence directed towards them by non-Asian males. S*e*x crimes against Asian women in the United States have become the subject of political controversy over the influence of stereotypes of Asians on the motivations for these crimes. Some Asian Americans point to the fetishizing of Asian women as a driving force behind s*e*x crimes targeting them. Asian American woman author Helen Zia claims that the stereotypes surrounding Asian women have much to do with why Asian American women are targeted for s*e*x crimes. According to Zia, “It’s happened on an epidemic proportion. It is this image of Asian American women being exotic and passive and will not fight back and speak up. Predators think they have free rein with Asian American women." Examples of violence towards Asian women are: A. Asian women have one of the highest domestic violence fatality rates in the nation of women killed in violence-related homicides B. One study of Asian women in heteros*e*xual relationships found that 40% of the participants revealed that their current male partners had sexually or physically abused them. C. Studies suggest that women involved in international marriages are at risk for domestic violence due to the unequal power balance in the relationships. D. One study found that 61% of Asian immigrant women experienced some form of physical, emotional, or s*e*xual violence that they classified as abusive. E. According to the findings of the US Department of Justice, the victimization rate of Asian American women in cases of sexual assault was over 30%, about half that of both white American and African American women.

I agree with you but you know sometimes I just get tired of harrasment and long-winded diatribe that not really saying much or educating me cause is not based on logic at all, just one-sided point of view. That's why I enjoy reading DVC and NAN. VICKY

You TOUCH already make a fool of himself cause he writing too much B.S. to try covering his butt. But you knows he just clutter my blog with all of his stuff and it really is not interesting at all cause his logic is so stupid and showing what kind of mind and uneducated he really is. Just cause you can filling up a blog full of opinion not meaning is smart. I read DVC, NAN, SFB blog and is very interesting and they can be funny and smart and entertaiing and educational too. I mssing the NAN the most cause she is very smart woman. DVC can be very sarcastic but at the same time he has POV that is very strong and overpowering but he getting his point across. SFB is layed back and he is also educational and his writing styel sometimes like a scholar or a travel guide. But no problem if TOUCH decide he wanting to post in my blog but if he write too much then I just gonna delete him again. Bust is nice not to see him here. He can go harrass someone else.

So if someone in the chatroom told you that your right hand was going to be the best lover you ever had would you put your hand in a glove so it would not be damaged at all and then tell all of your friends that your right hand was your lover? Just because you hear in the chatroom does not mean that it is true. Maybe just a person opinion. I hear that Brazil woman is the the sexy then woman from Japan and I not hear that in the chatroom. Is fact, I read in National Geographic travel magazine.

Not offended at all but it would be a generalization don't you think that all Japanese women are open about sex just because someone in a chat room said to have sex with someone if you have trouble sleeping? What if a woman from Pakistan told that to you would all women from Pakistan be sex tigers? I don't think so. But the comment about having sex for the sex feeling without any love involved is probably true with those who do not wish any sort of commitment with the person they are having sex with.

Humans, particularly males, are violent. It has been this way for many thousands of years. Just because Western men are interacting with Asian women doesn't mean they are suddenly going to start behaving. It doesn't matter if women came from some other solar system; they would be abused as well. Where the woman comes from or what ethnicity she is, is of little significance. My point is that men abuse women and this has been happening for thousands of years. What are you going to do about it? Woman's body is her own and not belong to boyfriend or husband or lover. Is a shared asset only as long as there is respect. What I doing about it? I advocate in California for strong laws against male predator who not listen when woman say STOP. I helping abuse woman by doing part time work in battered woman shelter. You think this is just simple problem? You sometime go to a battered woman shelter and you look at all abused woman. How can you say this is not big problem. Even just one woman is beat by one man is one beating too many. And this is worse in marriage cause man seeming to believe he owning woman and he can make demand regardless of woman's feelings. So until all mans understand that NO means NO and STOP mean STOP of course I working hard to ending this problem. VICKY
