In any East Asian culture, you will find that women have a very tangible power within the household. This is often rejcted by non- Asian feminists who argue that it is not real power, but. Japanese women look at the low status attributed to the domestic labor of housewives in North America and feel that this amounts to a denigration of a fundamental social role - whether it is performed by a man or a woman.

About This Quote

I have read many articles about the differences between the two cultures. The main point is that Asian culture is more accepting of women, especially housewives. Western culture does not look at the housewife as a woman with power. They are seen as being submissive to their husband or men in general.
