**10,000 Fans Incentive Program Recently, I saw a news that the Japanese subway is about to launch a car exclusively for men. I thought that the "women-only carriage" was surprising enough, but I didn't expect that there would be such an "outrageous incident". It seems that Japanese men are really suffering from "women".

Men's carriages are available on the Japanese subway.

In 2009, a young man in his twenties named Nobusuke Harada was pushed down the stairs by them just because he rubbed shoulders with several female college students, and he was wronged by him. After the police came, they didn't consider the fact that the female students pushed Harada down the stairs, and they insisted that Harada was **, and as a result, Harada chose to jump the railroad tracks with the intention of death.

In Japan, once you are charged, it is basically equivalent to the death of society, and losing money, losing your girlfriend, and losing your job are all trivial, and you may even go to prison. In a **, a boy obviously didn't do anything, but a girl fell asleep on his shoulder by herself, and when she woke up, she claimed that she had been **. The boy immediately defended himself, but was stopped by the people around him and **. He tried to engage in a "samurai duel" with the girls, but unfortunately failed. And when she was **, the girl kept sobbing in the soft comfort of the women around her.

In this case, the best way for a Japanese boy to deal with it is to immediately engage in a "samurai duel" with a girl, trying to use a briefcase or other soft object as a ** to attack the enemy's abdomen or thigh, with the goal of causing minor injuries and ending in a brawl. Because according to Japan's "Confusion Prevention Ordinance", being charged** can be sentenced to up to one year in prison or a fine of up to 1 million yen, while brawls can only be detained for a maximum of one week, as long as no serious injuries are caused.

Of course, Japanese blogger Fumiya Matsuura offers other ways to deal with it. First of all, don't run away so as not to be thought by the police that you have a weak heart. Second, never apologize, as this can also be misconstrued as a confession. Finally, quickly call the boss to ask for leave so as not to lose your job, and then call the lawyer to let the lawyer handle it to prevent the police from favoring women.

In addition to this train incident, the development of women's rights and interests in Japan has gone through four stages. The first stage dates back to the end of the 19th century, when Japan began to learn from Western perspectives, including gender equality and women's rights. The second stage was the beginning of the 20th century, when women's organizations were established to promote the realization of women's rights and the improvement of social status. The third stage was in the early post-World War II period, when the status and rights of women were substantially changed. The last stage was the development of modern feminism, when women began to pursue "love capitalism" and advocated that women could also create a better life.

At the beginning of the 20th century, women formed their own organizations, including the Women's Society, the Women's Equality Alliance, and the Women's Civil Rights Movement, to promote women's rights and seek a higher status in society. In 1919, the first women's congress was held in Tokyo, which focused on the "advancement of women's rights and status" and developed a series of programs advocating for the advancement of women's status and rights in society. This congress injected a strong impetus into the development of the feminist movement in Japan.

By 1921, Japan had witnessed the founding of the first women's political party, the Japan Women's Comrades Association. The establishment of the party marked the beginning of women's participation in politics in Japan and gradually strengthened their position and voice in society. Since then, the influence of women in political movements has grown. In 1935, Japan passed the Women's Equality Act, which clearly stipulated that "men and women shall enjoy equal rights and status before the law", which was the first bill in the history of Japan to formally stipulate women's rights and equal status.

After World War II, as Japanese society was rebuilt and democratized, women gradually achieved higher status in the social, political, and economic spheres. In 1946, Ichikawa became the first female member of the Diet in Japan's history, marking an important step forward for women in Japan in terms of political participation. Since then, Japan** has successively promulgated a series of laws aimed at protecting women's rights and interests, including the Basic Law on Equality between Men and Women and the Labor Standards Law.

Feminism. In the early post-World War II period, the status and rights of women in Japan underwent substantial changes. One of the most remarkable achievements is that equality between men and women has been enshrined in the Constitution, and women's rights to political participation, association, and education are protected by the Constitution. This marks an important step forward for Japanese women in terms of political participation. In 1947, Japan** promulgated the Basic Guidelines for the Women's Liberation Movement, which set forth the goals of women's participation in social and political activities and the improvement of women's social and economic status. At the same time, with the rapid development of Japan's economy and industry, more and more women are entering the workplace, but they still face gender discrimination and unfair treatment in the workplace. Therefore, the feminist movement in Japan also focused on promoting gender equality in the workplace and fighting against gender discrimination at this stage.

In the 60s of the 20th century, ** prevailed, and the Japanese feminist movement also combined with it, calling for gender equality and opposing gender discrimination.

In the 60s and 70s of the 20th century, feminists began to pay attention to the problems existing in the family and marriage, and demanded the reform of family law to fight for more rights and protections. In 1970, hundreds of women rallied in Tokyo to raise the banner of women's liberation and anti-war. In an interview with the Japan Times, activist Mitsu Tanaka said, "We women have been treated as nothing for a long time, and this makes us very angry. ”

At this stage, some women begin to awaken and gradually develop in the direction of maturity. Japanese feminists at this time did not like the word "feminism" and preferred the term "female liberation" because they felt that the term "feminism" was too rational and neutral. They began to emphasize women's sexual autonomy, to be "good wives and mothers," and to sacrifice their jobs in order to have children. There have even been cases of ultra-radicals killing their own children to avoid oppression as a vulnerable group in the family. But in general, the connotation of the feminist movement at this stage is still relatively positive, women only demand to obtain an independent status and participate in family life and social life as equals, so I also admit that the development of feminism in this period still plays a great positive role in the improvement of social division of labor and production efficiency.

The women's liberation movement and the anti-** movement of the 80s also pushed the feminist movement to new heights.

In contemporary society, Japanese feminism has entered a new stage of development. Under the influence of consumerism, some women began to advocate "love capitalism", advocating that women have the ability to create a better life, unwilling to rely on men, and emphasizing individual freedom and independence.

However, it is worth noting that Japanese feminism during this period also began to face some changes and challenges.

In the 20th century.

In Japan in the 80s and 90s, the self-confident Japanese were full of enthusiasm and shouted that they wanted to buy the United States, and Japanese products also achieved great sales success around the world.

Specifically, in 1983, the average share price in Japan** was only 8,000 yen, but in 1988, this figure had soared to 39,000 yen. During this period, even people who don't know anything about finance are expected to get huge investment returns as long as they get involved in the ** market. By 1989, Japan** accounted for 45% of the world's total market capitalization, setting an unprecedented glorious record.

In 1987, land prices in Tokyo were 23% year-on-year, and in 1988 they surged to 65%. By 1989, Japan's real estate bubble had reached a staggering 2,000 trillion yen, triggering a series of incredible fantasies. The Japanese at the time claimed that the land in Tokyo would be enough to buy the whole of the United States, or even the whole of Canada just by selling the land of the Imperial Palace. Mitsubishi Estate Corporation has successfully acquired 14 office buildings at Rockefeller Center in New York, planting the Japanese flag on this landmark building in New York, USA.

At the same time, the world's major luxury stores have become a frenzy for the Japanese to sweep up goods, sweeping away almost 70% of the world's luxury goods. The whole of Japan is in a state of drunkenness. However, in this dreamlike era, with the improvement of the economic situation, the trend of feminism in Japan has also been pushed to a new peak.

Since the beginning of modern times, Japanese feminism has ushered in a new stage of development. Under the influence of consumerism, some women began to advocate "love capitalism", arguing that women are also capable of creating a better life, opposing dependence on marriage and pursuing individual freedom. However, this period also marked the beginning of some deterioration of feminism in Japan.

Under the trend of "love capitalism", the social status of women has been greatly improved, and almost every woman with reasonable conditions can have four boyfriends at the same time: the errand man, the bill man, the gift man, and the natal man. The first three men each have different responsibilities, but sometimes they don't even get the opportunity to be more intimate, because this privilege is usually reserved for the natal one. I have deep sympathy for these first three men, because I used to be one of them. As a programmer, I was often called by my sister to repair computers or install systems. However, once I had completed my assignment in the girls' dormitory, my senior sister would usually politely see me off, leaving only a faint scent of incense wafting past me. Therefore, I have deep sympathy for the plight of those who came before me more than 30 years ago. It's just too hard.

However, despite such diligent care, these heart-wrenching brothers could not complain in the slightest. Because in this world of "licking dogs", no licking is equal to losing everything. In case you don't know, there is an old saying: "Lick the dog, lick it to the end".

The price of licking is simply too high. At that time, women had to choose a high-end restaurant with a price of more than 50,000 yen, and it basically cost 400,000 yen to spend a Christmas Eve (2230,000 yuan), and also had to patronize high-end hotels, and give away expensive jewelry. Chasing goddesses, how can they come up with low-grade things to match their identities?

With the booming economy, Japanese women have entered a super evolution mode, and some of them have evolved into "Heisei Shin Women". After the evolution was completed, they went straight to the path of cultivating immortals, and they didn't even talk about love anymore.

Heisei New Women" advocates not getting married, ignoring men, emphasizing the beauty of women, advocating mutual help, treating all men as "stinky men", and advocating that women should pursue "freedom". This was probably the earliest slogan of "girls help girls", and I could hear "let girls rise again" echoing in my ears.

To make an analogy, "love capitalism" is similar to the Hokage family in Konoha Village, that is, **; And the "Heisei New Women" are similar to the hawks led by Danzo. Despite differences in development policies, they are committed to the common struggle of Konoha (women's liberation), condemning male offenders in any case, opposing sexual harassment, and opposing discrimination in the workplace.

However, with the end of the bubble in Japan's economy and the rise in unemployment, women began to gradually lower their standards, abandon the "three highs" requirements, and set their sights on more competitive men. During this period, the status of women declined, and gender discrimination and unfair treatment in the workplace still existed. Eventually, the cost of survival for women in the workplace rose, and some women gave up the luxury of pursuing their personal lives and became so-called "Heisei Shin Women", and eventually evolved into "Divine Angel Beasts". During this period, women let go of their original requirements for high education, high income, and good looks, partnered with men who survived the economic bubble period, and began to live a life of barely living. They became otaku, also known as "Heisei abandoned houses", relying on convenience store jobs, gnawing on the elderly, relying on games and anime as spiritual pillars, and giving up the pursuit of women and families.

In this case, women lowered their standards, from "three highs" to "as long as there is no domestic violence". For the future career choice, there is no longer a high ambition, and "becoming a qualified housewife" is the ultimate goal. At the same time, some women who have survived the workplace have also begun to oppose feminism, realizing that this kind of feminism, which has deteriorated, will hurt all women if it is reversed.

After going through this transformation, the only people who seem to have benefited are the "Divine Angel Beasts" who have evolved completely. Through an article about the development of feminism in Japan, I actually solved the mystery of the combat power of the "Sacred Angelmon", which may explain how they defeated the "Clown Emperor" in the anime "Digimon".

Holy Angelmon.

Generally speaking, the development of women's rights in Japan has gone through a complex and pluralistic process, from the superiority of men and women in feudal society, to the rise and change of modern feminism, and finally returned to blandness. This process also seems to conform to the cyclical law of history. In this process, the status and rights of women have changed dramatically, but they have also faced some challenges and backlash.
