Hi, I am a Japanese male living in Tokyo/Saitama. I read this article too, and it made perfect sense (it was interesting to see there were fewer lifelong bachlors than bachelorettes 30 years ago (the pressure on men to marry was probably very strong), whereas now there are MORE lifelong bachelors than bachelorettes now). The Soshoku-Danshi in Japan, and the men going their own way (MGTOW) in the USA, are logical reactions to the misandry men witness in the media, and the misandry proudly exhibited by women (in most developed countries, probably). It makes me cringe when I see TV news stories about middle-aged women at “konkatsu parties” desperately looking for potential husbands (i.e., walking ATMs with an appendage), citing unrealistic criteria like “he should make more than 10 million yen a year, he should be willing to help with chores, child rearing, I don’t want to work part time, etc.” When are they going to realize that men are human too?
