I was reading the thread and trying to understand the OP.
7 pages in we find out he's in his 40's and she's not only 23 but also from one of those countries.
Dude didn't you see this coming?
Why do you have to go looking in a 3rd world country for a woman? That's like rummaging in the neighbors trash to find a freshly baked cake. Now you're married to her and have to find a way to divorce her while keeping your assets.
I sincerely hope you're not sending money overseas to her family or giving her a bunch of money to do that.
In the meantime just ignore her. She's not to be taken seriously anyways.
Lesson learned.
Sometimes AB_ (e.g. ABCs - American Born Chinese, ABTs - American Born Thais, etc) are encouraged to look to the Motherland for a mate. The idea being, the "pure" essence, uncontaminated by American mentality, etc. Sort of a joke, I know ... but it happens a lot.
Behind every nagging women is a man not doing what he's supposed to do.
What garbage. Nagging is mean, spiteful and disrespectful; in other words, completely contrary to any principle of love. It's also not cultural unique, it's a character trait even noted in the passages in the Old Testament:
"Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife." Proverbs 21:19
And therein is your answer to dealing with it to: avoid it and don't expose yourself to it. Pavlov's Dog approach, if she wants you around, insist on a peaceful household. If not, disappear and making those durations longer and longer as necessary to achieve your peace, whether at home or elsewhere.
"Behind every nagging women is a man not doing what he's supposed to do."
This forum is good for many things, but not relationship advise. If anyone thinks that doing "what you're supposed to do" will get her off his back they are either delusional or a woman. More likely outcome is her getting even angrier when she has to work harder at finding a reason to release her frustrations, that are not likely related to him in the first place.

Learn humor. Learn sarcasm.
This day and age with both spouses working outside the house, then both have responsibilities in the house.

Nice try to deflect and attempting to walk it back. And even using sarcasm to discuss intergender relations is often unwelcome these days.
They say the test for sexist comments is just simply switching the genders of the alleged offensive statement to see if it would have the same communicative effect. Thus, in your case I think most women would agree that that test would result in "joke" promoting verbally abuse conduct: "Behind every nagging man is a woman not doing wha she’s supposed to do”

You should know better.
Are you always this offensive and boorish? Or just stuck in the 50s. Last time I checked marriage was about being equals. If you're not upholding your end of the marriage expect to be overhauled. It isn't sexism like you feebly try to assert.
I think the OP was about a nagging spouse, my response was about an offensive statement you made. I made no commentary on household responsibilities and respective spousal roles.
Own it. Take responsibility for crass offensive statements made in jest, regardless of intent.
If someone posted "a woman should know her place..." it would garner equal criticism. So while sarcasm may be intended, that intention wasn't conveyed clearly.

You are the one making the offensive statements. This is not the 1950s. But thanks for trying.
