@ZacAdam,
Crazy. It's amazing.
West is heading East (stability).
East is heading West (LGBTQ, Freedom).
If you think about it such that when you plunk humans into a certain kind of environment, they naturally gravitate toward certain behaviors, lifestyles, configurations, etc., it makes a lot more sense that as the East has industrialized and amassed its peoples into these big anonymous urban hives, the same way the West has, they are going to trend toward similar behaviors.
When you study past civilizations in both the West and the East, they also have these explosions in homosexuality and casual sex, hand-in-hand with collapses in birth rates, as people accumulate in cities and the countrysides empty out. They were producing homosexual shunga (erotic art) in Japan during the late stages / decline of the Edo period, and homosexual art was abundant too in late-stage heavily urbanized ancient Greece.
Plunk humans into a similar environment, under similar historical conditions, and they will converge on similar types of behaviors other humans have exhibited in that type of environment under those types of conditions.
Asian mothers = Lack of Sex and BETA males and structural issues.
Asian mums won't admit though. Thus that passive aggression goes into their children, society and workplaces.
Well... I'd question whether these are related!
There are a LOT of strong dudes in Asia. A lot who are clear heads of the household. You get your weak-kneed men who are bitched out and pushed around by their wives, but you get a ton of that in the US, and in Europe, and in every country too. It's like everywhere: some families have strong husbands and quiet wives. Some have quiet husbands and strong wives. Then sometimes you get quiet husbands and quiet wives (peaceful but often a lot of unresolved issues no one ever broaches), or strong husbands with strong wives (constant back-and-forth, but hey, at least if there's issues, neither partner's going to shy away from addressing them!).
There's probably a relationship between sex drive and tiger mom-ism, based on what I've seen. But I don't think it's all pent-up sexual aggression. Some of those tiger moms are getting piped hard regularly but they are still tiger moms. There are also the ones who have completely stopped having sex but they aren't doing the tiger mom thing to their kids at all. Seems more to me to be a "higher testosterone levels = higher sex drive & also higher will-to-power used to drive children toward academic/career perfection." In America you get a similar thing with high drive mothers morphing into soccer moms whisking their kids to a half dozen activities and friends' places and gatherings per week for their social and extracurricular development.
Not all these moms are in Madonna/whore "my husband never touches me" hell... there definitely are marriages where one of the partners loses the drive for sex (
I covered them here), and I have known a few, but there are also ones where decades in the partners still maintain a very healthy sex life and sexual appetite for one another. Almost seems like it's roughly half-half from what I have seen.
I had a 44 y/o cleaning lady with a grown kid in East Asia who was picking up some food from the market for me and rather than money accepted a bunch of extra condoms I had in exchange because her husband and her had just run out. Just from knowing that cleaning lady and knowing a bit about how her kid was raised, I am 97.5% sure she was an Ultra Tiger Mom, but she also never stopped having plenty of sex with her husband either. You will find examples like this all over Asia if you look... but it does require talking to married middle-aged and older folks about their sex lives, which you may not want to do
