The moral of the story is basically: don't marry a Chinese woman!

It's a great pity for some men that the attitudes of educated women in relation to marriage have changed much in many countries.

Going back to the mid 90's, I recall some of my upper middle class English major male students being eager to marry educated Japanese girls in due course. I was surprised at this, as I knew that in general Chinese citizens dislike the Japanese. The reason given was that educated Japanese girls will make excellent wives because they are very happy to play second fiddle in a marriage and do not mind going to work to increase the family's earnings.

However, I believe that that is no longer the case among educated Japanese girls. Not good news for men with mindsets akin to Silverboy!
