Maybe because they experience that in real life. Women beaters in those countries are a thing you know. Also narcissist and sociopathic people as well as psychopaths are all over the place.
Haha I thought it's an Asian media thing (^～^;)ゞ
Nope, women in a lot of cultures are raised to be subservient to men unfortunately. A good girl doesn't talk back and serves her spouse and in laws without questions and talking back. The men are taught that they should be obeyed and served. This results in a massive power imbalance and men tend to believe that they can do whatever they want. Abuse and marital rape is a common thing and a woman is told to bear it because things will eventually get better once you have kids but unfortunately, women spend their whole lives oppressed in the hope of things getting better. They sometimes do get better, but it's when the kids have grown up and their while life has passed.
Just in case someone wants to comment that this is a prejudiced view of Asian/ colored people and their society from a white person's pov, I am not white, I am Asian and this kind of toxic mentality is unfortunately quite common here and even in orthodox white families.
this was actually a rhetorical question but well, thanks for the info. i could actually relate 'cause in my country, women back in the earlier years had no rights and property. basically, all they did was do household stuff and take care of children, like they weren't allowed to enter the government or get educated.
why do korean authors think that shitty asshole mls doing a 180 turn is romantic?
