Unexplored Nuances in the Lives of Contemporary Japanese Women That Will Leave You In Awe!
Playing the Gender Card
Did you know? In some old-school Japanese homes, the “boy versus girl” rivalry isn’t about toys or TV channels; it’s about who gets the bigger slice of the family pie! Imagine playing a game of ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors,’ but the odds are always against the paper, or in this case, girls!
Some women even grew up secretly wishing they had the magical powers to be boys just to feel the wind of privilege. And if that wasn’t enough, others feel the scoreboard pressure to score a “baby boy goal” after marriage! But thankfully, modern Japanese women are shaking up the game, resetting the scores, and making it anyone’s game!
