Interestingly, this topic is the only one that the missus has been even slightly interested in on this forum. So we talked about it a lot. The conclusion was that this kind of behaviour is alien to us and the people we know. It just doesn't happen. If you try to pull a stereotypical thing like that here you basically become a tired joke.
So yes, things definitely seem to be better in this respect in our part of the world. Sounds like a very important cultural difference to keep in mind. I didn't realise how rude it might sound to someone coming from a different culture, with more clearly defined male and female roles.
