  家までホイホイついて来て「そんなつもりじゃなかった。」と言って被害者ヅラする女は、男側に「やらないなら今すぐ帰ってほしい。ここ俺の家だし。」と言われても文句を言う資格などないんですよね。同様に。 — Dine (ダイン) 👨‍✈️✈️獲得中！ (@DineJapan) July 8, 2019  A woman can't complain in the situation, where she goes to the guy's house and says "I didn't expect this to happen" when he starts asking for sexual attention; "This is my home. I'd like you to leave if you don't want to have sex with me." - @DineJapan This is a tweet by a dating app named Dine that a single woman manages its Twitter account. Usually the account gets less than a hundred likes, but tweet attracted people who don't agree with the detail of it. Japan has its own unique culture that everybody assumes another person's emotions and thoughts. Also they're not the great communicators compared to the rest of the world. It's hard to say yes as a yes, or no as a no. Sadly consenting is not something a lot of people do there. Let's see what people repl...

Due to Japan's declining population, the government is accepting more workers from other countries than ever. Coming to Japan as a student and working at the same time would make a difficult situation for foreigners especially coming from lower-income places. Although Japan's set a law that foreign workers aren't allowed to work over 28 hours each week, most likely they're forced to work overtime, and not getting paid for it. Those students' purpose to learn Japanese, and to study in Japan, however many of them end up working more than studying. For the past three years, over 1,600 foreign students disappeared from Tokyo University of Social Welfare. They have debts to pay a lot of money to attend a language school and a university, and eventually they have to quit school to work more instead. Japan's been planning to aim for 300,000 students by 2020 since 2008. Originally there were many Chinese and Korean elites studying in Japan; they had to g...

"It's their fault that they're poor" is a common thought in Japan: especially elites who have higher income think this way. However, it's not something people that are called underclasses being forced to do the work with little money can take responsibility about. Sadly those underclasses will easily believe that they're poor because they didn't work hard enough to be richer. Moreover, it's quiet difficult to keep believing in yourself when the world is telling you that you're a failure. An American philosopher, John Rawls speaks that self-respect is most important in his book "A Theory of Justice".

In 1990, almost 40% of married had made a family with kids, and in 2015, the percentage drastically went down to 27%. Single person households are now up to 35%: it'll be close to 40% within the next 20 years. This is not only happening in the cities like Tokyo; it's becoming a problem in the entire country. Japan has a type of restaurants called "Fami-res" which is an abbreviation of family restaurants. It's going to be "Fami-less" if the amount of families with kids keeps decreasing.

This problem exists everywhere on this planet. A short film was made by Tokyo to teach kids how dangerous it is to send nudes to someone through chat apps when asked. The research team asked about 12,000 people including elementary school students, middle school students, high school students, and their parents if their aware of the risks to somehow get involved in a crime like "Send me nudes." In result, only 2.8% of the adults and 6.3% of the children answered that they are aware of those risks. It means over 90% of them aren't. Moreover, 18% of the high school girls said they have been asked to send photos or videos of their face of body. You will be fined about $3,000 USD if you ask a child under 18 years old to send you nudes in Japan.

Many Japanese people showed their furious emotions about Kim Kardashian West for naming her new shapewear brand "Kimono". Kim dropped it after all the petitions, tweets and letters everyone had sent. Especially the petition  made change with 136,892 supporters.  However, Sono Fukunishi, who started the petition later tweeted that she was trying to register Kimono to Intangible Cultural Heritage with the petition for #KimOhNO, and some people were against it. The comments to her tweet were "You can't just change the purpose of the petition, even though this whole thing is not completely finished yet.", "It is not nice that you're trying to do it without everybody's permission." and "I didn't join the petition because I wanted Kimono to be Intangible Cultural Heritage."  In the end, Sono apologized through Change.org. One of the problems might be being able to change titles, body texts and photos while the petition is g...
