   Nothing per se... *cough* ... I would much rather spend my time around a so   
   called "subservient" Japanese girl anytime. Though anyone who really thinks   
   they are subservient really needs to meet a few more. Asian girls in general   
   just realise more flies can be caught with honey than vinegar and they are   
   just being pleasant/harmonious. This should not be read as any form of   
   weakness.   
      
   I have gone out with girls from Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Hong Kong and   
   they actually were all very controlling. They just don't try to beat their   
   partners into submission by out-testosteroning them and ripping their nuts   
   off, they use femenine means. The end results though is usually much more   
   effective so 'subservient' so perhaps western women would do better to learn   
   from them rather than the other way around.   
      
   I have a great deal of respect for traditional Japanese due to their sense   
   of "wa" or harmony. Manners and ettiquite is very important as is "keeping   
   the peace". I am not sure how much of this still holds sway in Japan itself   
   these days but this sort of thing is viewed as weakness in western society   
   and people always seem to be overly assertive/aggressive/loud, ie:   
   "disturbing the peace". That was even the case before our societies become   
   "pulp fictionalised" and it become cool to be obnoxious.   
      
   I can't even walk down the street in my own society (Australia) without loud   
   unpleasant people grating my mind - they are like finger nails raking down a   
   chalk board. Sometimes I really think that westerners (and I am one) are   
   just too thick to realise it takes more strength, effort and resolve to be   
   polite, harmonious and pleasant than to just hawk out the first thing that   
   comes to mind all the time.
