Question:
After reading this thread and based on my own experiences and what ive observed, it seems asian women have more strength than asian men.
Asian women know how to take more suffering and have sacrificed more for the sake of family than asian men. I'm not saying asian men have it easy cause they dont but it seems asian women, especially our parents and our grandparents generation had to take a lot of abuse, both emotional and physical, for the sake of family and for their children.
It's like that with my family. My grandma suffered a great deal. she had to work and raise 3 kids almost on her own. She almost had no help from my grandpa. My grandpa would go fishing for fun, leaving her with all the housework and the kids. She was also beaten by him a few times. But she never left them cause chinese society at the time would've looked down on her and she didnt want her kids to grow up without a father.
My mom suffered a lot too cause of my dad too. He used to hit her when I was very little. I remember it clearly. It's not something you'll forget. I forgive him for it now but I've made a promise to myself that this kind of suffering will end starting with me.
Of course this isn't true for all asian families but it just seems asian women have had to take a lot more suffering and sacrificed more for the sake of family and survival.
from my family's experience, its because of the suffering of my grandma and my mother that we managed to survive and stick together as one family. if it were left at the hands of men in my family, we would have been screwed long time ago.

confucius? yah but not sure if asian countries still follow his principles strictly anymore.
Answer:
I'm sorry but some of those points are so biased against men and besides the point, they are absolutes. Yes there are men like that but there are alot of women who play men for fools as well. Just thought I'd bring that to point.
Not all men are like that. In retrospective, I think my Dad is more kind than my Mom. But hey, they are both very important to me, I wouldn't brand labels on them as who is more stronger and who takes mores suffering.

like i said, i didnt say all asian families are like that but based on what ive seen and experienced, it seems asian women have gotten more abuse in general.
Answer:
Comparing oranges/apples ...etc... All men and women face different hardships. And a big part of your argument is that asian women have to face abuse from asian men? My dad never raised a hand to my mom in his life. Neither did my grandparents and neither will I.
Answer:

I don't know, but that statement just makes no sense to me.
Answer:
women are stronger emotionally. men are stronger physically.
I agree to some extent...I would just edit the post with...
It seems like MOST asian women are stronger emotionally/mentally, and MOST asian men are stronger physically..
It's the case with my parents. My mother is so mentally/emotionally tough. She never lets anything get to her, even if it's a huge problem. On the other hand, my dad's a complete worrywart, but he is pretty strong physically
But if we put it that way...I think I might be classified as an asian man because I'm pretty strong physically but I freak out about the littlest things...

Answer:
Seriously, does anyone smell the pure BS in this whole thread?
Answer:
Eh, I'd have to disagree given my experiences with my mother and step mother. My step mom was perhaps the most ruthless and selfish person I've ever known and it was my dad that was my anchor and stability throughout my life. My mom was similarly a flake earlier on in my life but that's changing now (thankfully).
And as for Confucianism, it's not that women are supposed to serve men unconditionally. The man is supposed to be deserving of that obedience by being of great character, working hard, caring for the household, etc. Unfortunately people like to forget about Confucian morality and just focus on the social structures (and sadly, even those Asians who are supposed to know such philosophy best). But I guess it's convenient for men of bad character to abuse the teachings of Confucianism and hide behind one man's wisdom in order to preserve their social status and power. It's just like how you see those evangelists on TV using the Bible to trick people into giving them money. It's not the Bible itself, Confucianism, or a particular religion/philosophy that is bad, but willful misinterpretation of doctrine for profit.

it vaires from person to person... it doesn't matter if your male or female that is not the issue... what matters is the person just cause your a male or female doesn't automatically make you stronger.
