Another Asian Aggressor

Mark Richardson at Oz Conservative has post he's titled Monster Wives, which I think is referring to the recent Tiger Mom phenomenon which I've blogged about here.

Here's what he writes:

I'm not sure how to process the latest column by Sandra Tsing-Loh. It's about the dissatisfaction she and her professional female friends feel with their relationships with men.

They are not dissatisfied because their men are too patriarchal or macho. In fact they're living the feminist dream life, in which they are the breadwinners supporting their husbands/partners.

Richardson ends his post with:

But Sandra, why would anyone take care of you if you have told them over and over, that you are, above all else, independent? And how could we expect the art of homemaking to prosper if it is treated as an inferior sphere to that of career?

According to Wikipedia, Tsing-Loh is:

a Los Ageles, California-based writer, actress, performance artist, pop culture analyst and radio commentator.

This half white, half Asian woman is obsessed with her Asian half, and in a morbid way relates to it much more than she does her white background. Here is an article she wrote for the Atlantic Monthly which she titled: Sympathy for the Tiger Moms, and she clearly puts herselt in the Tiger Mom category. Here are the rules she lays out for her one quarter Chinese daughters:

Here are the things my daughters, Sophia and Louisa were mever allowed to do:
- attend a sleepover
- have a play date
- be in a school play

And the rigid militaristc list goes on.

I've written many times that this Asian presence in North America is producing a new kind of people, more aggressive and more dogmatic. This is just a psychological observation. When it comes to culture, despite Loh's and other Tiger Moms' insistence that their children play instruments and join orchestras, I have written about the reduced excellence in orchestras which have large numbers of Asians.

Here is the husband that Tsing-Loh decided to divorce. It was quite a search to find his site, since she doesn't mention his name, of course, which she never took. And, it is no surprise that he didn't live up to her expectations.
