@SK-hd1yk Again, not really.
"Docile women" - is only an East Asian cultural norm. In South Asia, women are expected to be subservient to men, but are not expected to be docile. In Muslim Indonesia and Malaysia, women are expected to be religiously modest, but again not docile. Which in turn is different from Muslim Arabs whose women are basically invisible. In the Philippines, women are not expected to be docile or subservient at all.
"Tiger moms" - has different connotations. In South Asia and East Asia, the authority of tiger moms is still below that of their husbands. While elsewhere they are above their husbands.
Marriage pressure - varies. From extreme pressure due to arranged marriages in South Asia, to pressure for a "good" marriage to a wealthy or high-status husband as in East Asia, to just nagging for grandchildren, as in the rest of Southeast Asia.
Model minority - varies. Indians and Filipinos integrate extremely well into English-speaking countries and regularly marry outside their ethnic groups, to the point that they are "invisible minorities", even though they constitute the two largest Asian-American minorities in the US. East Asians like the Chinese or Japanese and certain Southeast Asians like the Vietnamese or Thais tend to create their own exclusive communities ("Chinatowns", etc.) and marry within their ethnic groups.
Caring for elders - is universally expected among most Asians, Africans, and Latin Americans.
Openness about mental health - varies by what family you have. Not by what culture you are from.

@aysenur6761 It was lifted in 2013. That's not recent for you? LOL, millennials. And who said anything about compulsory niqab? I'm talking about how women who wear niqabs/burqas usually come from families/cultures where women are also banned from interacting with unrelated men and thus are unlikely to appear in videos like this.
And here you are, saying I'm wrong and how we should totally ignore all that and focus on that one American author who CHOSE to wear the niqab. Praising the few exceptions while hiding the reality of the lives of the vast majority of women who are forced to wear niqabs/burqas.
To answer your earlier question, my mother country has a significant native Muslim minority. Prior to the last two decades, the traditional female clothing of native Muslims was simply a headscarf and long-sleeved clothing. In behavior, they didn't differ much at all from non-Muslim women. Our native Muslim minority are mostly merchant families and women would usually work in their businesses, interacting with customers directly.
Then in the late 90s to early 2000s, Saudi Arabia and other oil states started funding mosques, sending clerics, as well as giving "scholarships" to young men to travel to the Middle East and study in religious schools. In the span of a few years, ultraconservative niqabs started to appear here and there, even though it was non-traditional. Not a lot, but enough to be noticeable. And these women behaved very very differently from how other Muslim women traditionally behaved in my mother country. They only appeared in public when accompanied by a male guardian. They aren't even allowed to talk to anyone. The male guardian speaks for them. That is who I'm talking about. And they are the people you are telling me that you don't care about.
