The culture shift in Japan

These are two very interesting videos that touches on the modern day lifestyles of women in Japan. I find that shift has created an alternative look on how the woman live, work and their outlook on relationships. Much have changed in the past 10 years - marriage was an obligation for women in Japan before but now, many older generation are opting for divorces and the younger generation delay getting married. After watching the two videos, I feel that it is the lack of time, despite being more empowered, and maybe, just *maybe* women today are purging the old tradition of being obligated to a marriage - a sort of like an exorcism of such practice, beliefs and customs. If you look at it on a collective mode of things and term “women” as one entity, instead of looking at women as many different individuals.

Or maybe Japan’s women are currently undergoing a new phase of cynicism towards marriage and prefers, what usually used to be a men’s only activity, visiting nightclubs (or Host clubs) and having one or many male gumars (Italian for mistress).
