Attitudes toward staying home.
 

I've heard recently that many Japanese men, even in the 20-25 age range, still believe the ancient idea that it's a woman's responsibility to take care of the household. :/ If so, I'd have to look for a Japanese man that DOESN'T believe this in order for me to date him.

Although this veered way off topic, I thought it was worthy of discussion and gave it a thread all it`s own. The first post remains as a copy in the original thread. - Nyororin

... :eek:

Your house must be a shocking mess!

Oh, and I thought of something else... I like that the ideas of femininity and masculinity are a little different from the culture I was raised in, so I guess it'd be interesting to date someone there for that reason alone...

... After I find a man that has liberal ideas about the roles of men and women, anyway.

... It's hard if your wife doesn't do all the house shit for you, but. I mean, I don't have time to do it all myself. If I didn't have a wife, I'd have my hands tied.

But most women are content with doing that. I dunno what kind of husband is going to enjoy a lazy wife...

You're a big boy. I'm sure you can handle washing a few dishes yourself. :)

I'd buy disposable.

My husband is Japanese and believes in the housework being done by the person in the house the most. As he is out there working and earning 90% of the money for the household, it is certainly not him.

If you stay at home and don`t do the housework, that`s just lazy. What kind of wife makes the guy come home and do work again... after a day of work?

The kind of wife that isn't a servant and also has a job. :)

Here we go again off topic.:mad:

When you can pull that off with a disabled kid, call me.
But even if that weren`t the case, I certainly don`t think that taking responsibility for living space and spending the time to personally raise a child is being a "servant". But hey, I guess that`s just me.
