TLDR: Asian mail order brides still recommended
The docile asian wife tale is bullshit. I know a nerd white guy who worked at Intel that got a fresh off the boat Asian wife and she plunged a steak knife into his chest while he was asleep. He woke up and saw it and lived. Asian wife went to jail and then he refused to press charges and then even took her back. She'll probably try to kill him again. Some people are really stupid.
As for what her mental malfunction is, who knows. Think I read 1 out of 6 Americans are on some sort of psychiatric medication (mostly women). They were having so many women test positive for bipolar disorder lately they actually changed the test to make it so such an enormous amount of women don't test positive. My theory is that there are virtually no natural selection pressures on women besides what they look like, so while dysfunctional males probably reproduce less often or are eliminated/jailed somehow, maybe those X chromosome crazy genes are starting to spread out of control (lauda).
