  "Hiramatsu says that psychologically, men have a stronger urge compared to women to control and dominate others."

  I really can't stand the neanderthal psychology crap that is still taken seriously in Japan. Ever heard of a helicopter mom? Women can have strong urges to control and dominate others as well. This kind of thinking is used to justify the actions of men who control and abuse their partners.

  They should just admit that, yes, men go to these places because they like to talk to pretty girls and feel good about themselves.

  That's why the Govt. is shelling out some YEN now to it's own residents

  So why not shell out to foreign helpers? They did knowingly accept foreign help too.

  ...and they're suing in San Diego? TEPCO doesn't stand a chance. Pay up suckers, the fiscal cliff bailout needs you ;)

  But the Japanese government and TEPCO did lie about radiation, and they should be sued. Doesn't really matter who does it. And I get that a lot of Japanese people think it's an honor to sacrifice themselves for their country, but don't expect that kind of subservient attitude from Americans.

  In any case his coaching career is over. He admitted to having sex with a student, which he shouldn't have done.

  Knowing how accurate the local city halls are here with their record keeping, he's probably actually only 92 or something.

  I laughed. No but seriously I like his name "Jiroemon" .

  Buying the islands from an "owner" was completely bs. The islands had been in dispute for many years and certainly did not belong to any private owner. There are talks between China and Japan that go back to the Deng Xiaoping era.

  Abe's position of "no compromise" is typical hardheaded Japanese crap about preserving national honor at the expense of anyone else. Too bad it's the kind of kool aid that Japanese people like to hear. And too bad Abe is dumb enough to even wish that his position will not affect the economic relations between China and Japan. He really needs to get his head out of his ass.

  It is time for Japan to reinvent itself from #2 world economy to #10 or #20.

  Best thing I've seen in a long time. Yes, stop trying to be a major super power if you don't have the land and resources for it. It's just not going to happen. Better to follow the lead of a handful of European countries that care more about governing themselves than about impressing others.

  Why does Abe think it's ok to change his views on historical events repeatedly, as if revising history is even acceptable???

  I'm gonna play devil's advocate here: if this article was actually written by a woman who is as "it" as she claims, then she will have no problems finding someone to spend obscene amounts of money on her and take her on dates in a fancy car. If she's into older men, then she is probably beating them off with a stick as we speak. Don't hate the player, hate the game. The game being how Japanese men objectify (beautiful) women and how women cope with it by objectifying (rich) men.

  Is it too much to ask of young Japanese people to be ok with their faces, or the way they look? I had a girl in one of my classes who wore a mask all the time too. While yes, she wasn't the most conventionally attractive person, it just makes me sad that someone who is old enough to be in college would have such low self-esteem.

  Oh Japan is definitely very good at packaging itself and marketing itself as a "special and unique place" to the rest of the world. I've seen it done in the States, and I've seen it again at travel fairs in other Asian countries. The thing is, other countries just don't try so freaking hard to market themselves. The official stance of Japanese policy is that, of course, Japan is perfect and has never done anything wrong in its entire history. eye roll

  Well if women asserted themselves more and demanded equal pay for equal work, then corporations can't take advantage of them. This is a big part of the gender wage gap in western countries- women don't negotiate their salaries and don't assert themselves enough.
