Stereotype of Asian Male Oppression

I recently read nightshade's comment about how US/UK is more sexist than his/her experiences in Asia, and I think it's a good issue to talk about.

So this is my question, since it seems like a pretty global audience here:
- Are Asian men more sexist and chauvinistic compared to Middle Eastern, Latin, Anglo/American, Jewish orthodox, or Christian fundamentalist men?

In my opinion, yes Asian countries, just like all countries in the world, have gender problems and issues that go back a long time in many cultures. However, Western mass media constantly stereotypes, and thus influences millions, on the idea that Asian men are somehow way more sexist or chauvinist or oppressive than the average male.

This gives some White males what I call 'White Knight' syndrome, and also gives some self-hating, brainwashed Asian girls a convenient excuse to hide their White worship. Hell, almost all of Uncle Tom Amy Tan's books, like 'Joy Luck Club', pander to White audiences by reinforcing this sexist oppressive stereotype, and paint White men as the saviors. 'Miss Saigon' is another example. It's like feminism gone totally byserk because it's mixed in with White worship and Asian men bashing, which feminists of other typically cultures don't do (specifically blame their culture of men instead of see it as a global gender issue across many cultures). For example, when's the last major movie you saw by a Middle Eastern feminist that totally bashes M.E. men, and where all the women marry White guys?

From my own personal experience which is based on mostly Chinese families, I think the myth is false. In Asia, most TV commercials cater to women, you never see advertisements for things that guys like, most of the movies are chick flicks or soap opera type stories, and all entertainment has a 'cutesy' girly feel. I've also seen almost all Chinese moms totally boss and control their sons, and totally control their husbands.

In Chinese culture, women never change their last names, every Chinese woman I met who was addressed in Mandarin was to her Maiden name, never the husband's last name like in Western society. Chinese women on a per capita basis work more than White women. Chinese women are often-times depicted as strong heroines in Chinese films, whereas White women are basically the sex interest in most White movies.

I will say I don't know enough about Japan to deny that they may be sexist, however I would contend that that it's related to them emulating Western/White sexism and Western chauvinism going all the way back to the days of Meiji Restoration and emulating Whites.

Additionally, some superiority complex White Knights bring up foot binding, as evidence of horrible Asian male oppression. Yet when is the last time you heard White men accused of being sexist and oppressive for tight suffocating corsets, or for metal chastity belts, or even painful plastic surgery in modern times? Foot binding was sad, but just like with beauty treatments White women used to do and still do, these kinds of practices are really pushed by other women, thinking that's what men like (which is a global gender issue, not a specifically 'horrible Asian men' issue).

Finally, consider animal mating. Men are biologically programmed to spread their seed; a male-dominated culture will have men with more multiple partners without childrearing responsibility. A female dominated culture will have less 'player mentality' and more emphasis on childrearing. Now, of all the cultures in the world, do Asian cultures fit the former or latter? This paragraph is also related to what a poster name kwak said in a different thread, about Asian women in Asia seeming more romantically naive; if this is true, I believe it is because there is less 'player mentality' in Asia compared to the West.

And tell me, are Asian cultures more matriarchal or patriarchal?
