I think it does depend on the "woman".
If you are that kind of woman who agrees to be a slave, then there're men for you all around, but if you're not that kind, then you wouldn't marry such a man, would you?
The fact that why there are a lot of such turkish marriages is because of both sides, the girl has been also raised for being oppressed by her man. The key point is not being a turkish man, it's about the man dominant culture.

Yes, I think Meltem has a very good point here.
I think Istanbul marks what she said.. though I've never been there, I've read and been told that in Istanbul there are many different neighbourhoods and each neighbourhood has its own 'character', its 'own people'. There are right-wing neighbourhoods, there are very religious neighbourhoods, there are left-neighbourhoods etc. If you are not religious, you would never move to a very religious neighbourhood, thus..the chance you meet a religious boy/girl to fall in deep love with is small.
It's like tehre are small communities with its own rules and traditions. The only problem is that.. everybody should be free to choose if he wants to leave his own 'community' or not. And from what I understood that can be pretty tough whilst being a woman. But like Meltem said, that's not about being male and Turkish, it's about a man-dominant culture.
Please correct me where I'm wrong about Istanbul though!
