I hope this terrible "Russian Wife" madness could stop - I think it's degrading for women in general and Russia as a country!

I saw some commenting about this issue in a Swedish paper. The men were being sexist in a way that they would only dare to do anonymously online...
They were essentially saying "well Thai women are better than Russian women because the Russian women are so materialistic and want stuff and expect to be treated like a lady. Thai women are more submissive and accepting".

If the Russian women are AT LEAST demanding that any foreign man they are dealing with treats them like a lady, then GOOD FOR THEM!!!
I think they are a bit sad if these men have to go abroad to find a woman who will look up to them and accept them! Perhaps they should exercise a bit of self criticism instead of worrying about women being too feminist, materialistic or demanding.

I can't help but wonder what kind of situation these Russian women are in, that they are prepared to marry a foreigner that they couldn't possibly know well. I wonder how many such marriages actually survives 3 years or whatever the magical line is.....

In Kiev last summer I saw a girl of about 18 sit at a cafe and talk to a big American twice her age and size - clearly about dating related stuff.. She could hardly string a comprehensible sentence together in English, and he clearly wasn't paying much attention to what she was trying to say anyway. If that's the beginning of a "serious relationship" it would just fall to pieces once they actually are able to communicate....! If it was something else, taking place in broad daylight at a cafe then it is even more shocking.
