My personal experience with several highly educated and successful families where the husband and wife were both born in Pakistan is that the guys tend to have this attitude toward women (diminishment is the best term I can think of) that just seems to creep out at the most unexpected times. Just my anecdotal experience, but a bit troubling for me nonetheless.

Years back we were sitting in the airport at London waiting for our flight. An Iranian man sitting with his wife (I am guessing it was his wife as she/it was wrapped head to foot in black. Well the a**hole gets up and stands in front of Florence and demands (in Farsi) to know if she was Iranian. I yelled no at him and he backed off. They not only mistreat their own women but seem to think thay can bully all women.
