For the first time in centuries, young women in Japan are turning away from marriage and relationships. With more Japanese women entering the workforce, earning wages, and enjoying increased economic freedom, gender norms in the country are shifting, giving rise to new economic realities.
In Tokyo, a new wave of services is targeting these women, serving up the “à la carte” boyfriend experience. Whether they’re craving a shoulder to cry on, a hunk to take shots with, or a late-night cuddle, Tokyo-based women can fulfill their relational needs on demand and by the hour.
In this episode of ‘Slutever,’ host Karley Sciortino travels to Tokyo to sample the services that are marketed to the country’s powerful single women and speaks with the men who make a living catering to that need.
@Acoustic@Jergen@Father Figure @Mzee mzima @Reyrey let us converge here and discuss constructively on how we can still be feminists and avoid the pitfalls of modern society like this one.
@kah tony enyewe this sort of ‘progress’ is one that I don’t understand… Personally, if it came to a point where I felt so lonely that I needed to hire someone to hangout with me at the club and act like they wanted me, or to cuddle late at night, then that would mean that I need someone in my life…
I think it’s oxymoronic to say that you want to be independent yet cannot enjoy your own company or sleep alone…
Everyone loves progress. We get angry when people elected to serve in government ,go to such developed nations ;and fail to bring the ‘future’ to us. Those nations’ present is our future. Whatever comes with it, will be dealt with once we get there. But what many don’t understand, as long as male chauvinism exists so will feminism. No one wants to be looked down upon, hence the constant fight for fair play.
A feminist is one who supports feminism ;which is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. (c/o wiki) All of which I support, so yes I am :).
Unfortunately most people don’t understand it or misuse it,hence the conflicts related to it.
This women are just proud and lazy. Stand in any street and just say hi to random people, most will ignore, some will say hi back and the few will stop to talk to you. Those few at least one of them will be good enough for coffee, tea or whatever. If you do this a couple of times you will have random people with different backgrounds to chose and your life will never be lonely again. This is how i have met all the slices in my life by being brave enough to make the first move and hold a decent conversation.
