    Lets face it, marriage is an old and tired institution that should have been put out to pasture long ago.

    Hear hear... .... and I'm not ready to go into an institution!

    Marriage was originally invented so that men could purchase and own wives to ensure that he knew children would be his (to work on his farm). Wives, being unhappy about being treated as property, twisted the meaning of marriage and the social order by and introducing concepts of love, romance, and chivalry to trap a man into willingly being her slave and working his entire life to make her happy.... if she was going to get married at all.

    Since then, societies where marriage is predominant the world over have a terribly broken concept of male-female relationships, and it's no surprise that a lot of people can't figure them out and don't understand why they often fall apart.

    Why gay couples are recently wanting in on this disaster is beyond my comprehension.

    Jesus there are a lot of stereotypes about Japanese wives here, and no one dishing out any accurate information. I've been married to a Japanese girl for a decade, and she's been an amazing wife.

    Nobody's saying that there aren't agreeable women in Japan, but you can only marry one (at a time anyway), and maybe you did OK out of that. I just tend to believe that the exceptions in your case prove the rule. Some of us have really been "around the block" so to speak in the dating department, and I know that women that are truly suitable for marriage are rare. "A good woman who can find?" as a certain religious book makes a point of saying.

    Her husband was like a samurai lord... he expected her to wait on him, forced her to quit her job when they were married to have kids (then left her when she had her son)... he was basically as I wrote above.

    Whose to say that women can't make bad decisions about future husbands too? Without knowing all the details it's difficult to judge. Did she drive this guy around the twist and not give him the peace he wanted? Did she not understand that he wanted kids and for her to eventually look after them? Maybe the man had mental problems beforehand and she ignored them for his paycheck? We just don't know..... but let's get one thing straight: Men aren't domestic pets, and as such, they are not burdened by pregnancy or sticking around to look after kids. In fact, if they are treated like crap and have a backbone, they may just decide to up and leave!

    I want to puke every time I meet some women who says "all men are terrible". Really? All men? Have they met ALL men? In the world? No? Then shut up....!

    The whole "It's all men's fault" is a cliched nonsense argument in these times of supposed "equality" where both sides need to assess their own role in the problems. (although one wonders how "different" sexes can truly be "equal" anyway)

    Office romances never last...

    No romance lasts forever. The trouble is, the heart promises so much, but can only deliver temporary excitement. Our own lives are the same. We all want to live forever, but we're only here for a brief moment.

    I reckon the person bringing cash home is the one to be cherished in any way possible. all depends on which tasks both fulfil.

    It's just then that marriage is no different to being legal prostitution (which really, it is) where the woman isn't even obligated to have sex, and the man still has to pay for her, for the rest of his life! If he tries to escape a bad situation he cops the financial penalties in divorce (and in the west, divorce is 60% of the time initiated by women).

    Doesn't matter if the woman works or not herself. Her money is her money, and his money is said to be "our" money!

    Where's the "love"? Anyone?

    Men who stay boys and were so smothered by their mothers that they did not grow up knowing how to be a man. Some of the blame for this also goes to fathers, too busy or too lazy to bring their boys up to be men not metrosexuals without proper identity.

    Close, but not quite IMHO.

    It's boys who are raised by their mothers to be just as much a subservient slave as their father is, and who will eventually turn into a mirror image of their father, being the well-trained slave.... and so the cycle of life repeats. Eventually society breeds a whole generation of buys genetically predisposed to be herbivore men -- which is what we all see prevalent today.

    As for the absent father--- again, he is too busy working and making money for his wife to be present in his children's upbringing, and perhaps give them an education on how to break free of impending domestication. Again, the father is a subservient man himself and doesn't really have much of a clue anyway.

    So... if there's a patriarchy in Japan, can someone please point it out to me?

    I'm really not seeing any upsides to tying the knot... but, I won't be telling that to my girlfriend anytime soon.

    There are good ones out there, but in my experience they are very few and far between. Also, if they are really good, either way you will end up paying for them if you want to keep them interested over the long term.... otherwise no matter how much they like you, they'll gravitate away from you and to another man who is not being cheap and is offering them moolah.

    Thing is, there are many useless women in Japan who won't do anything for you in a relationship, but think that spending a man's money + spreading their legs and lying there = you owe them commissio.... ahem .... commitment.

    What do does everyone think? Does the environment encourage that, perhaps?

    Aren't we just forgetting that a lot of women only marry so that they can have a bread winner and don't have to work?

    It then gets really easy to see how "monster wives" are created. Lured in by the "forbidden fruit" of happy married life that the woman seems to suggest, or maybe blackmailed by the woman using her unborn child as a hostage to trap him, the man soon discovers that he is being whipped like a slave from his wife to go out to work - while simultaneously being told that he is the one responsible for looking after her and the family. Meanwhile the woman sits around the house doing very little, takes the bulk of his paycheck, and gives him only enough to survive on. Also he is given the carrot/stick treatment in the bedroom. Let's not get started on how the wife is in a position to "rock the cradle" with children at an early age to teach them to look after herself and beat up on daddy... and the fact that the woman's kitchen is her power base to control what the man eats (or doesn't eat) every day.

    But yeah ladies... it's all the man's fault. He shouldn't have got married!

    The spectre of WW2, and that of religion, has hovered over everyone for too long a time. We need to move on.

    There's nothing erotic about it. Mind you, the creepy camera zoom in of her mouth while eating it might tempt people to think that something funny is going on.

    It's a shame Windows 8 gets a bad rap, because really, the desktop in Windows 8 fast, smooth, and is the best yet. What brings it down is all the unnecessary Metro start menu nonsense which is only really useful on a touchscreen device and can't be disabled for us desktop users.

    In order to make Windows 8 usable on a non-touchscreen computer, I had to install the free "classic shell" program and change the default video and photo programs to the old desktop versions,as the new defaults select the Windows 8 "app" versions, and they just take over the entire screen whether you like it or not.

    As long as I never leave the comfortable womb of the desktop I'm OK. Once you get used to Windows 8's quirks, it's not really all that bad.

    People who love guns grew up in environments where owning one was essential for their own survival.

    For the rest of us who don't live in such a culture, where for us, owning a gun is completely inessential, and .... well.... pointless, we clearly don't get it. Our fear of guns comes from the fact that they are solely used to kill things.

    The issue is a cultural one alright. How do you reverse a culture where having a gun is essential when everyone already has guns? Nobody will want to put their toys away.

    The LDP strategy in regard to educational curricula seems to be how to provide basic education without nurturing critical thinking and independent-minded citizens and the strategy seems to be working quite well. They can't completely prevent an informed minority of Japanese from trying to speak out, but they are incredibly successful at keeping the masses 'in tune'.

    Totally agree. They want people smart enough to use the machines, but not clever enough to realize how they're getting done over by Japan's business elites. Or.... to use a metaphor that English teachers will instantly recognize.... good enough at English to be able to use it in business, but not so familiar with it that their contact with foreigners will enables them to escape the working conditions of "Japan Inc.", or become critical of their own society.

    The whole notion that this "ware ware nihonjin" and Japan's special "group oriented" way of doing things only really ever serves the elites, and it's interesting how the Japanese themselves don't seem to notice because of their instilled inferiority complex and their willingness to accept that they are lucky that any company would ever employ them.

    This whole willingness by the Japanese to enslave themselves like this has been worn away over time, but clearly the elites want to reverse the trend.

    To the contrary, it works trememdously well. Just look at the world-wide growth of islam and the increasing number of societies which are submitting under Shariah law.

    A lot is said about "the world wide growth of islam" as if it's actually happening, but the numbers don't back it up. I don't have the time nor platform to show you the details, but you might like to refer to the book "How Civilizations Die" for some stats, to see that - in fact - Islam is submerging in a demographic time-bomb much like Europe is already suffering. As Muslim women become more educated (something that the Taliban cannot stand, mind you), the less likely they are to want to marry, and the less children they have. The reason is, you guessed it - they're only getting married as a means of survival in a harsh world, and not because they want to. This leaves lots of ineligible male bachelors around, and with China driving up prices for basic necessities, the middle east is experiencing the culmination of these problems right now.

    The modern, scientific world is raining down upon Islam and unless Muslims can find a balance between science and their beliefs, their only rationale is to try and turn everything into their shallow version of Islam as only they can imagine it. It's going to be messy, and Muslims are going to try and take the west down with it as it blows itself up. The west is going to fend you off long enough until you do.

    Admittedly, our ignorant politicians, who for inexplicable reasons support the islamists (remember the much-touted "Arab Spring" aka Shariah takeover) are partly at fault, but still --- where do you see that it does not work? As a political scheme to take over, political islam is on a winning spree.

    Are the UAE and Qatar shariah nations? I mean, they're doing pretty well for themselves, but Sweden still beats them in quality of life indexes.

    I don't know what it will take for Muslims to understand that Islam as a political doctrine together with Sharia doesn't actually work. If anything it produces dictators that trample everyone's rights and who have to be overthrown on a regular basis.

    Honestly, if it worked, the west would have adopted Sharia wholesale by now. We haven't because we've learnt from our own history that the mixing of religion and politics is a recipie for social disaster.

    To try something over and over and over again and expecting a different outcome is,... well.... madness.

    I thought dinner dates were something you only did once you are already sleeping together? Otherwise they're just setting themselves up to be unpaid male-escorts. I guess that's what happens when men don't put a value on themselves or their time.

    How can Japan be a patriarchy when the men work so hard just to throw the spoils at random women?

    To be fair, people is Myslim countries all share a belief in Allah, there are several Islamic majority countries in which the civilians are killing each other, and some of these societies are stratified by different sects of Islam.

    Still has nothing to do with Japan hosting the Olympics though....
