Who knows, but my 2 cents, and let me preface that people are going to disagree but this is based on my experiences, the VN women that control their western husbands is likely due to the fact that their western husbands do not understand VN culture and/or their wives failed to educate them in this subject matter.
In VN, bottom line, the man is king. He has the last word and no self respecting VN husband would allow his wife to control him like a dog. However, that does not mean all of them are Aholes, of course not. For example, my inlaws. Father does not talk a lot, has never hit my mother inlaw, has never yelled or screamed at her, mom runs the house, but when dad speaks, all the women listen, including the sisters, aunts etc. and he is treated with the utmost respect.
I know for some it may seem difficult to understand, I did as well when I first started dated my wife. But as time passed, she would teach me about VN culture and customs and it does take awhile to finally get it. I doubt I can explain in a blog because it is difficult enough to try and explain these type of things face to face.
But what I can tell you, if your a husband to a VN wife and you let her control you like a dog, it is highly likely that she will have very little or no respect for you because in her eyes, you are a weak man.
