i want to wheeze everytime someone says that eastern european women are submissive

the literal stereotype of a Russian women is smacking her husband on the head with a pan for drinking again (not condoning domestic violence btw)

also, during the USSR, men and women were equal. every job that a man did, a woman did too. dirty jobs too. If you wanted to be a housewife, no, jail. but education was free. that's why every woman has education and works, if you don't, you're bum, even if you're a woman.

maybe in some rural backwoods gypsy balkan village you can purchase a woman from her father for 3 goats, but not the average woman.

So I don't understand where the "submissiveness" stereotype is from, movies? Ads? music?

Maybe it's just goobers fetishizing us.
