I hope she didnt pull it too hard...
I think it's important to make a distinction here between Asian women and Asian-American women.
Asian-American women, with their American values and upbringing, are nowhere as supposedly subservient as women born and raised in Asian countries. I should know - I married one.
Besides, the "Asian women are slaves" thing is, in reality, quite different from the cliche notion. In public Asian women may appear to be docile and subservient to their man, but at home they're controlling the purse strings (in Japan the wives give their husbands an allowance!), making major financial decisions, and raising the kids. They rule the roost.
The "love you long time," "oh me so horny," "5 dollah," Hollywood stereotype that came out of Vietnam and somehow became associated with ALL Asian women is, besides being inaccurate, very offensive.
Roppongi is nice. There are some nice ones in Ginza.
Martial arts has also changed too. Historically, Japanese martial arts has also degraded. The cause is Western influence. Practice in martial arts in the old days were rooted in the life-style. Nowadays Japanese live a different life-style.
I don't think the majority of martial arts dojo's maintain the rich culture and the detail anymore.

hey great posts.. all makes sense...
my wife's from Kobe, very nice, great friend etc and plus I haven't cooked or cleaned in the 5 years I've been with her
that's the difference, true, re what in hawaii we call "just off the plane" from asia vs local/asian-american ... all women are great ... I used to date a local miss chinatown when I was an undergrad at ucla .. she was difficult though I remember, spoiled... so I skipped the american models/beauty queens, they are often spoiled from childhood and are fickle/difficult..
one interesting thing about american asian women, many I've dated "run hot/cold" .. eg like a light switch they can change from being your best friend to not wanting to have anything to do with you ... then back again ... confusing ..
me, I like less drama/arguments, so women from asia are my preferred choice nowadays... not that she's a slave or anything (wait a sec -- I have to go tell her to go run my bath, be right back) ..
lol..
anyways, as long as everyone's treated w/respect and kindness, it's all good ..
