Why do spammers and Egyptians want Chinese women?

[almostwitty]

As anyone who runs a blog knows, you tend to get a LOT of spam comments, which are luckily filtered out by most blogging systems. However, this particular one caught my eye today:

“the thing i like about asian women are those long flowing straight hair and those chinky eyes”

I really hope that’s not an excerpt from some poor chap’s dating profile, because I doubt he’s going to get much of a lookup. Imagine if your chat-up line was: “Ooooh I just love your chinky eyes”. That’d be pretty much the same as saying “Oooh I just love your nigger lips”.

(And yes, I thought about censoring the n-word from that sentence, but really, if I’m not going to censor the c-word, then I can’t then go and censor the n-word. Complicated racial politics that come into what was initially a simple blogpost about a spam comment. Oh dear.)

But then I wonder why Chinese women are so highly sought-after. Apparently, Egyptian men can now be added to the list of men around the world who want Chinese women. According to the article from Al Arabiya (which was also quoted in BBC News, but I can’t find the link now), Chinese women are prized for their “Obedience and loyalty”. I’ve got three sisters. None of them are particularly obedient, and I have the scars to prove it.

Oh now COME ON. Why does everyone see me as such a dominatrix? ("semi"-angsty was meant as a compliment, BTW, and without getting into race politics, as that is a battle that as a whiter-than-white woman I will always lose, it really was meant kindly.)

But hey, if you want me to wield the whip... *grins*

a) You're wearing leather pants in your icon.

b) I joke about seeing everyone as a dominatrix. It's certainly a far easier joke to maintain than seeing everyone as a sub slut who I shall crush with my thigh high boots. That one is rather open to mis-interpretation in a tragic way.

I'm wearing knee-high boots in my icon. They are vinyl. The dress is black cotton.

Admittedly, the jacket is suede. :D

As for your issues... oh, okay :D (it's just that you're far from the first who's gone the "oh you must be a domme" road with me. It amuses me now, although it still confuses me...)

[almostwitty]

and how many subs do you know (if you know any!) who wear knee-high boots? ;)

and let's face it, interesting women with an interesting way of self-expression are more likely to be dom than sub. Or at least hiding their sub very well.

*Ahem* Okay, yeah, guilty... :D

Now all you have to do is find someone you feel comfy with to be your Master (tm)...
