So, let me get this straight- you married because she is capable of being independent, but you should get the final say in matters.
If you go into a rational discussion with the expectation that you shouuld automatically have the final say, doesn't that mean that the rational discussion is essentially a waste of time? It doesn't sound like you value that independence much. |

Alot of Korean women are very well-educated, very intelligent, have alot of independent thought, and definetely quite independent and healthy and of their own mind.. even if its a determinely Korean mind.
In my experience, any seemingly 'submissive' woman is lying to you.. and the truth will come out.. there is no such thing as a truly 'submissive' human being.. if they do that.. its a lure to catch you.. and once they got you.. you'll be caught in the web.. muahahahaha |

Why do we have to define marriage along gender lines?
Could Giant's comments be religiously based? From what I see, fundamentalist Christians are primary advocates of the woman must be submissive line. |
